2012 white elephant gift ideas <$25.00

[The_Dude8]

Go to Walmart or wherever they do the kids photos. Get a couple of photos of you playing with a ball, riding a toy horse, etc....all while giving a sexy pouty face to the camera.

Buy a cheap frame.....wrap it........win.

Yes, someone at my company did this a few years ago. F-in classic.

Do the Gangnam Style dance while wearing this horse head mask:

OP is a bit dense. And by "a bit" I mean very

and what fun is this game if all that trash is going right in the garbage

freudian slippers:

or an ugly sweater would work. ideally if it's something crappy, you want it to be the gift that reappears every year.

 

[HumblePie]

If you are serious about getting something decent, there is plenty. Giftcards work, hand tool sets, A box of K-cups, or something more tailored to the interests of those being there. Personally I rather see several gifts at a white elephant scenario where people are fighting ferociously over them. It's much funnier and funner as a game that way.

one year, someone made a cube of cheezy 80's CD's (vanilla ice, milli vanilla, rick astley, cant remember the other ones, tone loc??) by gluing the cd's together in a cube...

was one of the most popular gifts that night...LOL

guess with amazon MP3 downloads , itunes, this probably won't be as fun anymore...

 

[BurnItDwn]

Didn't gag gifts stop being cool like ... 10 years ago? People still do this?

 

[DCal430]

We do a twist on the white elephant has to be 100 minimum and needs to be a nice gift that people would want.

My first choice this year

 

[AFurryReptile]

I picked up a remote-controlled RC helicopter for $25 from Fry's last year. That went over well for white elephant.

Isn't that called a secret santa with a $100 minimum spend?

 

[The_Dude8]

mind as well drop by the goodwill stores and pick up some used items instead of going the ebay route. :0

mind as well get his/her vibrator or a fleshlight.

and you sir need to smell my farts to even suggest of throwing out a good can of baked beans! shame on you.

 

[Imp]

As Seen On TV stuff. Especially the ones with Vince's face on it. Then wrap it in Vince's mugshot or a story about his hooker beatings.

I might do the TV stuff, not sure about Vince.

 

[OutHouse]

My first choice this year

lol ok that has potential.

 

[Jeffg010]

The funniest gag gift I ever seen was when this guy open up his gift and it was ladies purse. That dude got ragged on for the next 3 months.

 

[Jeffg010]

Also we had a running joke when something like this came back each year

 

[bononos]

Gifts are typically inexpensive, humorous items or used items from home.

To non-US english speakers, white elephant has another meaning instead of the secret santa gift exchange custom.
