Funny White Elephant Gifts Under 25

Misc.

If you've been to a white elephant party, then you know the drill: when you arrive, everyone places their wrapped gifts in the middle, and each guest pulls a number. Going in order, someone picks a gift. After the first person, each additional guest can either steal someone else's gift, or choose to unwrap another item from the middle. In the end, even if you don't end up with what you want, it's a gift exchange that is fun for everyone.

The White Elephant gift exchange has been around for decades. Known as Yankee Swap, Pollyanna, Secret Santa, and a dozen other names, the goal is to come to the party with an amazing gift and also entertain guests during your annual holiday party (you can also try some of these Christmas party games). But the quest to find a White Elephant gift that will appeal to everyone at the exchange can be a challenge, especially adding a budget for this game. That's where we come in: We found the best white elephant gifts — all under $25 — that your family, friends, and co-workers would love to unwrap ... or even to steal for themselves. There are funny, practical, unique, and total gag options here, so there's definitely something for everyone.
