We've been putting a lot of thought into what really makes for the perfect White Elephant gift, and we are pretty sure we have it figured out. All of the best White Elephant gifts have two things in common. They are quirky, or unique, yet practical. And if you think about it, that makes complete sense. No one wants a boring gift, that's not any fun in a gift exchange. The only thing worse than a boring gift is one that is so impractical that it's completely useless! With these two features in mind, we have crafted the perfect guide to White Elephant gifts. The gifts you'll find below ride the fine line that makes for the perfect gift.
Drinkware
Moose Punch Bowl Game of Thrones Coasters Hogwarts Tumbler Chewbacca Cooler Sleeve Toilet Mug
"How Was Your Day?" Wine Glass Tipsy Wine Glasses Oh The Places You'll Go Water Bottle
House Lannister Stemless Wine Glasses
Coffee mugs are truly a staple of gift exchanges. What you don’t often see, however, are mugs that look like a toilet. This little mug is sure to get a lot of laughs, and paired with some gourmet coffee grounds, this makes for a fantastic white elephant gift. Another honorable mention would be the House Lannister stemless wine glasses. These tastefully designed glasses are going to be a crowd favorite with any Game of Thrones fans.
Hats
Marauder's Map Hat Grinch Character Hoodie Chewbacca Ski Mask Bumble Hoodie Hat
Marty McFly Hat Captain America Winter Hat
This Chewbacca ski mask would be a favorite among skiers and bank robbers alike. You're going to have to be careful who gets their hands on this ski mask. If a bank robber does, we can already picture the headlines: "HILARIOUS WOOKIEE BANK ROBBER CAUGHT, $1.5 MILLION STILL MISSING." Worse yet is the statement from the Chief of Police: "We have agreed to let him go if he gives up one crucial piece of information: where did he get that mask? It's, like, really funny, lol. He is so funny, and he's going to let me borrow the mask when I go skiing with my in-laws. They are going to love it."
For the Home
Cat DJ Scratching Deck Rocking BBQ Spatula Face Coaster Set
Death Star Planetarium Clone Cutting Board Packers Tailgate Set
Another great option for white Elephant gift exchanges are gifts for the home. There are a lot of wonderful pieces in this collage, but we both know that nothing even compares to the cat scratching deck. This ingenious gift turns your cat into a DJ every time they scratch. However, if the cat starts asking for a sound cloud, we recommend you take away the scratching deck immediately. Regardless, If a lot of people have cats in your gift exchange, this one is a must.
Accessories
Broncos Moccasin Broncos Slippers Batman Patterned Sunglasses DC Comics Sunglasses Wonder Woman Sunglasses
Orange Crush Socks Buddy The Elf Socks Batman Cape Socks Groot and Rocket Wallet
Another wise choice for your gift exchange might be one of these accessories. Our Batman socks come complete with a cape on each calf, meaning that their owner will feel like a superhero anytime they take off their shoes. Are you witnessing a mugging, but you're without your Batsuit? Not a problem, strip down to your batman socks and you will be successfully undercover, we think.
Games
The Walking Dead Trivial Pursuit Game of Thrones Puzzle A Christmas Story Game Harry Potter Puzzle
Star Wars Eye Found It Small Blaze Dart Gun
Games and puzzles are always a good option for gift exchanges. Do you know a Harry Potter fan? Of course you do! The odds of you not knowing a Harry Potter fan are worse than the odds of successfully breaking into Gringotts Wizarding bank. (In case you don’t remember, those odds are pretty terrible.) The point is, this Harry Potter puzzle will undoubtedly be a strong contender with any crowd.
When it comes to gift exchanges, it really comes down to reading the crowd. Between your knowledge of who your buying for, and our wide variety of gifts, we are absolutely positive that there is the perfect gift for any gift exchange somewhere in this guide. Pick the right gift, and you'll be watching people chase your gift all the way around the room. What do you thnk? Did you find what you were looking for?
