ATOT help me think of a good white elephant gift.

[ICRS]

Here are some requirements.

It must be a unisex gift.
It must be over $100, closer to $150 is prefered.
It must be easy to return.
It must be a gift that is desired by most.

Help me decided ATOT.

Had to google White elephant gift. I knew about the concept bet never knew it had a name. The points you list are counter to the whole concept it would seem. The entire idea is it's a party game in which the fun is in the exchange not in the gifts themselves. They are meant to be junky gifts no one would really want that much.

Yes I know our version isn't as traditional, but I don't think our secret santa is traditional either. For us the actual gift is most important.

Just go pick up a gift at the Goodwill.

Guitar Hero World Tour with 2 guitars? I guess that's very console specific. Damn $100 is just too much where you can buy the wrong thing and it would really suck. I was gonna say a nice Fenix flashlight but even then those run like $60 only. How about an iPod or nice earphones? Shures? Ultimate Ears Super Fi 5s?

Ok, I don't know. The most I've done for White Elephant or Secret Santa was $25.

Great reviews, and I've used it in my dorm for 2 years now. It lives up to them. Awesome TV Tuner.

Just include the receipt in an envelope with the gift if they want to return it.

Our family and friends were discussing a "white elephant gift" this year at Thanksgiving. However, we were going to regift or give items we bought and either never or lightly used or didn't need anymore. As long as the gift was still in good shape and usable.

We usually do a lottery for for the order for the selecting of the gifts and people then take a gift out of the pile wrapped without knowing what's in the gift. Then, the fun starts. Once everyone opens the gifts, the first person who won the first pick of the gifts, gets to trade gifts with any ones gift he wants, hehe! Then it goes down the line. Of course, not all people trade and like their gifts. And once you trade or pass, you get to keep your choice. So then the last person to draw, gets stuck with a gift they most likely don't want at all! MUHAHAHA! :gift::shocked:

LOL! Yea, just forage in the Goodwill dumpsters for some free gifts. Want an old stained chair or a broken TV anyone? :gift:

Sounds painful. I think that a Fleshlight would be a better way to play with yourself.

OP: Get a blow-up sheep.

And what you're doing is exactly the opposite of a white elephant gift, so don't call it that.

 

[Leros]

Buy a white elephant statue.

 

[fustercluck]

Had to come in this thread to see what the hell it was about

 

[DrPizza]

How about one of those chair massager things?

 

[Ns1]

150 lottery tickets

White elephant sounds racist to me.

those rules do not fit a white elephant gift, you have no idea what you are talking about. The last white elephant gift I got was a 5'10" tall clothes manikin from JC Penny's.

 

[sjwaste]

Assuming this isn't a troll thread, just go to Nordstrom and have one of their personal shoppers suggest something. If the gift is that important, let them handle it.

 

[shortylickens]

I dunno.

Is that anything like the white rabbit?

The true definition of a whit eelephant gift is something YOU WERE GIVEN as a gift that sucks

Basically you regift a bad gift.

Now if you are doing a gift exchange that is some thing completely different.
