13 Best Gifts From White Elephants That Are Enough
While Secret Santa makes you know a thing or two about the recipient of the gift, the beauty of the White Elephant gift is the promise of opportunity. And for those of us who love to follow the line of what is a “suitable” gift, the White Elephant is our time to shine.
But maneuvering is a subtle art: you need to find obscene but not offensive gifts; unusual items that do not cause inconvenience to people. If you’re worried about crossing those boundaries, don’t worry. The following gags will definitely not be the most coveted item at the White Elephant Party, but they are sure to generate the most controversial reactions. After all, the real attraction of gifts is the opportunity to showcase your sense of humor and ingenuity. Isn’t that the whole point of the holidays – in your ego?
(Quick disclaimer: If you are exchanging gifts between family and coworkers rather than longtime friends, make sure you trust your ability to read in the room. A gag gift is not worth making people genuinely uncomfortable.)
