Because sometimes you need a White Elephant Gift. The White Elephant Gift Exchange is easy on the budget and a fun way to celebrate with family and friends!
Why is it called White Elephant?
White elephant is defined as a possession that is useless or troublesome, especially one that is expensive to maintain or difficult to dispose of. Supposedly, the King of Siam gifted rare albino elephants to courtiers who had displeased him, that they might be ruined by the animals’ upkeep costs.
The term white elephant refers to a gift whose maintenance costs exceed its usefulness. Throw that on a napkin and cover that saying up with your drink! 🙂
Or if you are like my friends, we make up the rules as we go along!
White Elephant Gift Ideas
Liquor tower with mini liquor bottles, gum and aspirin. Best. Give. Ever!
When Life gives you Lemons! Nothing like a snappy pun!!
Sanitizer dressed up as Santa-tizer.
Reinbeer. 🙂 You can do this with any kind of beer. Even Stella!
Oh look…another Pun!
Nothing like dressing up some toilet paper. This, however, is rather clever.
And some Tic Tacs, because it’s always good to have Tic Tacs in your purse.
Not sure this is a good White Elephant Gift…but would make a fabulous stocking stuffer.
Who doesn’t like popping bubbles?
Jack and Coke…another very clever gift!
A little bit of pipe cleaner and some red tape and Voila!
Loafers! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Gift not included. My favorite! Plus, who doesn’t need some AA batteries?
A whole lotta nothing!
Leftover gift cards. I have about 38 of these, btw.
