25 Wacky White Elephant Gifts

25 Truly Wacky White Elephant Gifts

November 14, 2012

Are you familiar with the "white elephant" gift exchange? It's a veritable tchotchke swap. The premise is that you show up with one totally useless wacky gift, draw numbers to see who goes first, and then let the opening begin. As subsequent participants unwrap their gifts, they can steal away the other's newly acquired goods. (I once obtained one of those sad-looking Charlie Brown Christmas trees this way. Score.) Do you have a white elephant party coming up, or perhaps you merely have friends with goofy senses of humor? Then let the gag gifting begin.

We are using the <a href="http://albinophantblog.com/white-elephant-gift-exchange/lefty-the-white-elephant-a-gift-exchange-story/">"Lefty the White Elephant"</a> story to make our white elephant party even more engaging this year. This gift exchange combines both the Left-Right game rules and the white elephant game rules into one fun game!

lol. who doesn't want bacon soap! There is also a white elephant board game called Wacky White Elephant (wackywhiteelephant.com). Could be ironic to bring a wacky white elephant game as a wacky white elephant gift.

We are big fans of the white elephant gift exchange. Our recreation team has developed several unique ways to host these gift parties. Any gift that enlists silly conversation is a successful white elephant present. The key to the game is bringing gifts that are both silly, conversational and desirable.

I heard people are giving out the Armadillow Pillow. It is a pillow for couples to use for cuddling. Do you think that is a good idea for a white elephant gift?

YumSugar and BellaSugar have inspired me to host an 80's/90's White Elephant Party next year. What a way to "regift" those 80's and 90's items that are tucked away in the closets. :)

This was referred to in my family one time as "Dirty Santa." It was fun for those who shared their gift ideas with others. Fun for the occassion.
