What is a decent, low-key white elephant gift?

I may be forced into a work Christmas event and I'm supposed to bring something. I understand the basic principles behind a white elephant exchange and all, but am trying to think of something that is as unnoticeable as possible. I don't want the receiver to walk away feeling ripped off, but at the same time I want minimal attention towards the item and myself. Last year someone apparently brought a set of porcelain bunny-shaped cookie jars, which would probably be a decent starting point for what I'm trying to find. Nothing humorous.
 
i bought my secret santa, never spoke to him before coworker a children's lights-and-sound plastic AK 47, from eBay.

go big or go home, i say.
 
nothing humorous? i think you are missing the point.

just go to goodwill and get something random.
 
Edible underwear gets a good laugh. Walgreens has some funny electronics/appliances. Bottles of alcohol do well.

I've gotten stupid but interesting things at the 99 cent store that were gobbled up.
 
I've done a 10 dollar starbucks card, inside a box that was wrapped in duct tape and then wrapped in wrapping paper. This box was in another 2 boxes wrapped the same way.

You are wrecking white elephant gift...:colbert:
 
Mandatory 'Fleshlight' comment....

I usually it up www.stupid.com for random gifts: 'Hillary Clinton Nut~crackers' or 'Santa Farting Butt Pillows' are always good for a laugh. But you said you don't want to be noticed...

For the office... Try www.thinkgeek.com and go for something like one of those hard rubber cable organizers.
