White Elephant Gift - Suggestions?
Our department (like 20 people, 50/50 men and women) is doing a "white elephant" gift exchange with a price limit of around $25. Suggestions?
Note: This is a pretty corporate office. Apparently these are not supposed to be "gag gifts". |

Hi Al,
[ QUOTE ] Apparently these are not supposed to be "gag gifts". [/ QUOTE ] Then this is not a white elephant. --- Costco gift basket. There's a bunch of them that are $25 or under. --- Alternately, get a gag gift anyway. Life's too short. The ox and lamb kept time, offTopic |

OT - Yeah, I thought the whole point to "white elephant" was that it was a bunch of gaggy / retarded gifts. Apparently, not for my department.
Great suggestion, -Al |

I thought a white elephant was a big expensive object that is more trouble than it's worth?

Re: White Elephant Gift - Suggestions?
In practice a white elephant is a decorative item that you would just as soon see decorating someone else's house or a gadget that does something you don't need done. I would go for any doo-dad made by Thomas Kinkade (or indeed any sort of figurine or vase) or useless kitchen gadget like a salad spinner. Think of some household item your mother would donate to a church or school rummage sale that someone else would actually buy.

My friends did a white elephant thing recently, my girl and I scored:
A Darth Tater and a pair of Cartman Slippers |

I am also under the impression that white elephant gift exchanges are gag gifts. You may want to find out before you buy anything I guess. Anytime I have done this, it has always been gag gifts.
