Ugly Made Pretty

For this one, we could divide up the months and each month the "host" picks something at a store that is ugly, buys 3 and sends the others what they've chosen. We could cap it at $3 to $5 per item. (But I was thinking even cheaper, like Dollartree or Big Lots. They have some pretty ugly, cheap things.) It'd be kinda like a white elephant crafting club, where you open the item, grimace and start thinking how it can be used in a new fresh way to make it interesting or pretty.
