When it comes to white elephant gift exchanges, there's no way to prepare for what's to come. That being said, if you're going to participate, you might as well pull all the stops by showing up with a creative gift that's guaranteed to lead to an all-out stealing war (that's the name of the game, right?). To put you on the right path, we've rounded up the best white elephant gifts to give this year, all of which perfectly balance humor and practicality without breaking the bank (a.k.a. they're cheap).
Since there are so many different ways to approach it, these gift ideas cover all the bases, everything from hilarious gag gifts that'll turn the mood of the room to office-friendly picks that even your boss (or most particular coworker) would approve of. It's safe to say that the more unique gifts tend to bring the bigger laughs, so we're all for going with something wacky and weird like a hot dog toaster or mini desktop vacuum. Before you settle on a gift, double-check the rules: Since many white elephant gift exchanges have set budgets, we made sure that everything on this list falls under $30, many even coming in under $2o.
While you're in the shopping mode, keep your other festivities top of mind since a lot of these ideas will work well for Secret Santa and Dirty Santa exchanges ... just sayin'.
