So your friends or the office manager at work decided to throw a White Elephant gift exchange. It’s also known as a Yankee swap or Dirty Santa, but either way, if you need some present ideas, we’ve got them.

White Elephant Gift Ideas

What Is a White Elephant?

Basically, it’s a gift exchange… with stealing. Here’s the rules:

  1. Everyone buys a gift that fits into an agreed upon budget (usually $25 and under unless you really really like your coworkers).
  2. When it’s your turn, you can either pick a wrapped gift from the pile, or steal someone else’s opened present if you really like it.
  3. That person then gets to unwrap a new gift.
  4. Going last has huge advantages in this game because you can see all the unwrapped presents and take what you want.

Your goal is to pick White Elephant gift ideas that everyone at the party is reaching for. No one really wants a keychain when something awesome like a mini waffle maker is an option.

 

17 White Elephant Gift Ideas

1. Baby Yoda Mini Waffle Maker

We told you there would be an awesome mini waffle maker. These waffles are almost too cute to eat. Thankfully, syrup exists.

2. Hot Chocolate Gift Set, $24.95

You can’t go wrong with a box of hot cocoa gear. Also a great one to re-gift if you don’t use it. Aw shucks, you shouldn’t have!

5. Definitely Not a Bag Full of Drugs Tote Bag, $29.99

Definitely do not fill this tote bag with oregano in little plastic baggies. That would be a terrible idea. Fill it with edibles instead!

We’re sure there are ways this drink holder could go disastrously wrong, but it’s a better bet than perching your drink precariously on your knee. RIP MacBook 2016.

Practicality aside, this gift is pure fun. And just weird enough that we’re sure everyone will want it. Who cares if it ends up collecting dust under their bed? Their old socks need company.
