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:

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...

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

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

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.

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.
