Gift Gathering Parties

X-Travaganza Gift Gathering Parties: A Wonderful Mix Of Fun And Purpose

A gift gathering party is a party hosted by current parents of students of St. X, usually in their homes. These parties are organized by St. X sports and student activity groups. The purpose of the party is to collect items for auction at X-Travaganza. As a party attendee, you are asked to bring a gift of your choice to the party. Gift gathering parties are crucial for the success of the X-Travaganza event; we seek more than 1,500 gift donations to make the X-Travaganza auctions a success!

I have been invited to more than one party...
It is possible that you will receive an invitation to more than one party. You are welcome to attend each party and bring a gift, but you should not feel obligated to do so.

What type of items do people donate?

Gift certificates for services or to area restaurants, tickets to sporting events, use of vacation homes, jewelry and St. X-themed items are all very popular. Your invitation will include a more extensive list of the type of gifts that do well in the auctions each year, often bringing in far more than the stated value! Click here to donate, view Amazon Registry and X-Travaganza Wish List.

When are gift gathering parties held?

Parties begin in August and conclude in January. The parties can range from an afternoon activity to an evening of drinks and apps. Parties are usually held on the weekends. Click here to view the 2026 Gift Gathering Party schedule. Check back often for updated details!
