Best White Elephant Gift Ideas

White Elephant gift swaps always SEEM like such a good idea. You’re supposed to bring something ridiculous and funny that’s not actually useful--the more outlandish, the better!

Let's do this!

And sometimes the gifts are not appropriate for kids, which is definitely a problem.

They're great for adults or kids...even adults who act like kids .

Burrito Wrap Blanket

Who doesn't want to be wrapped up like a burrito when it's cold and rainy outside?

Hot Dog and Bun Toaster

You put the hot dogs and the buns in and it magically warms them up at the same time.

Wonder Woman Superhero Socks

Wouldn't it be fun to wear these under your fancy suit at work?

Slipper Genie Mopping Slippers

While these look like a fantastic idea, do NOT use them after spraying the slippers with Pledge. You will most certainly fall and break a hip.

Nessie Ladle

Who could resist a cute Loch Ness Ladle peeking out from their soup pot? You can get it in several different colors, too.
