White Elephant Gift Ideas?
We have a co-ed white elephant this weekend and I can't think of anything to get - NO GC allowed - I don't want to get something completely silly - I would rather get something fun and useful.
Any thoughts? Budget is 25

White Elephant, Yankee Swap, Dirty Santa - there are a lot of names for it - basically each person brings a wrapped gift. Each person chooses a number, and picks a gift and unwraps it in that order. Someone who has the next number can steal a previously opened gift or choose a new one. It can be fun, especially if there are some gifts that are popular, but I never come up with a clever gift!
I like the basket ideas!

Bacon scented air freshener
But seriously...
my favorite things I've gotten from the white elephant exchanges we have done:
hot chocolate gift set.
chicken soup gift set (had soup and campbells chicken soup mugs inside)
a cookie jar
a pack of gum wrapped in a box, within a box, within a box -- but then all of the gum had been removed and individually wrapped with dollar bills.
someone brought a musical toilet paper roll.

White Elephant Gift Ideas?
I think that the best white elephant gifts cause a bunch of conversation and excitement within the game.
Our team of recreation specialist have tested several unique white elephant gift conversation starters.
This highest testing gift is something called the Slingshot duck . When this gets unwrapped and shot across the room, everyone wants to steal it!
Good luck..
