It’s a tradition known by many names: White Elephant, Yankee Swap, Dirty Santa. The storied annual event, the essential pillar of our culture, wherein coworkers, extended family, or large friend groups gather together to exchange gag gifts or miscellaneous objects surfaced from deep within their junk drawers.
The delightful thing about white elephant is that it’s probably the lowest-stakes gift-giving scenario of the holiday season. For that reason, compiling a list of the best white elephant gifts does feel a little antithetical to the spontaneous,That would be true, if it weren’t for the fact that I have endured several white elephant gift exchanges where the gifts have been repeats. The gifts were boring—uninspired, even.
This is what I come with you today with a list of white elephant gift ideas full of items that embrace the creativity and freedom that are core to the event. My list includes a balance of the practical and the absurd. All of the items serve, in one way or another, to enhance the overall fun atmosphere of the white elephant exchange.
The ideal equation for a white elephant gift includes some combination of useful + interesting + uncommon; you don’t have to hit all three every time, but you should aim for at least two. Quirky gifts are ideal, but aim for something that isn’t trying too hard to be a joke. Bonus points if you opt for oddly shaped packages to enhance the absurdity and mystery of the day. Check out all 33 items in our white elephant gift guide below.
