Funny White Elephant Gift Ideas

White elephant gift exchanges (also known as Yankee swap) are a great way for family, friends, and office mates to have a bit of fun during the holidays (and spend less money doing it).

A white elephant gift is an entertaining gift that can be humorous or have little value.

The exchange can happen many different ways, either by drawing numbers for each gift or going in order, etc. Make up your own rules if you have to. This is all about having fun!

Generally, the purpose is to slightly humiliate the present's receiver (in good fun) and create laughter. You can do this by giving them something they will never want or need, giving them something they specifically said they do not want, giving them an "adult" item, or any other way you can think of.

So here is a list of some great funny ideas for Christmas, birthdays, and Valentine's day.

• Candy underwear. As if they won't use it anyway.
• A picture of yourself with your autograph. Make them feel a bit special by them being able to know that they met the great and wonderful YOU.
• A pair of very large granny underwear. Because they are only getting older and bigger by the day.
• A box of chocolates with some of the chocolates partly eaten. Because you simply couldn't give all the deliciousness away. What fun would that be?
• A chia pet. Because they are a hassle to take care of, but also a fun little thing to look at.
• A roll of toilet paper. Because it's cheap and everyone laughs at poop jokes.
• Some adult diapers. Because they are getting older and will need them soon. Also a good inside joke if you traveled together and they had you stop at a gas station to use the restroom.

If none of these sound like something you'd want to give, have a look around the store for something silly. Or, better yet, make something! White elephant gifts are about entertainment, so have fun with it. There's really no wrong present!
