Regular 68 Dublin, CA | Subject: RE: White Elephant Gifts Best thing given would have to be a specimen cup with some manual razors in it. LOL Best thing received was a fake lottery scratcher ticket, which I "WON" $50,000. I was only 10 years old or so and took it pretty hard after running around the house celebrating and telling everyone what I was going to buy with all that cash, then having my parents tell me to read the back of the ticket so I knew where to get my winnings. Low and behold it said something along the lines of "Collect your prize from the Easter bunny on Mars." Good times... hahaha |

I personally think it can be pretty hilarious to get a kids hopes up and then see them crash down. It also prepares them for life. |

Alpharetta, Georgia | Subject: RE: White Elephant Gifts Anything from the "adult" store, if it is a naughty-type of exchange. I've seen adult toys, tassles, blow up items, lube, panties, dirty dice, dirty games, dirty books, handcuffs, etc. Non-naughty funny stuff: Heineken holiday 5-pack Ridiculous-themed calendar (Justin Beiber or something) Children's book with funny theme (like "My first potty" or the like) Fake lottery tickets Toilet paper or embarrassing toiletry items (Prep-H, Summers Eve, etc.) One of the weirdest gifts that ended up back-firing a few years ago was... a box of dog food. Definitely a "WTF" present, but it ended up being spilled on the floor and there were 3 dogs at the party. One of them was aggressive around food. The little one (mine) was attacked in the process. Whoops. |

Master 1678 Olney, MD | Subject: RE: White Elephant Gifts We contributed a Beta fish (complete with bowl, rocks, food, and water cleanser) and an adult toy (some rubber duckie thing meant to be used in the shower/bath) to our annual White Elephant exchange this year. My husband was on gift duty this year and that's what he came up with. Last year we wound up with some singing ta-tas. |

Extreme Veteran 872 Tx | Subject: RE: White Elephant Gifts Wanna keep it clean? Go with the "bump it" or the "clapper". Wanna gross em out? Step 1- Get some of that fake grass they put in easter baskets and put it in a box. Step 2- Open a Baby Ruth candy bar and place it on top of the fake grass. Step 3- Wrap. Wa-la! Edible poop! |

Pro 4824 Houston | Subject: RE: White Elephant Gifts At my husbands Christmas party several years ago one of the white elephant gifts was a bottle of Crown! As you can imagine everyone kept stealing it and it made it almost all the way around the room. In the end we all found out it was a crown bottle full of apple juice! The guy that brought it was laughing his butt off seeing everyone clamor for it. |

Step 1- Get some of that fake grass they put in easter baskets and put it in a box. Step 2- Open a Baby Ruth candy bar and place it on top of the fake grass. Step 3- Wrap. Wa-la! Edible poop! Amateur. Go to X-mart. Buy a Baby Ruth, 2 boxes of GrapeNuts and a kitty litter box. Fill the cat box with grapenuts. Water down the candy bar and roll it in the cereal and then leave it in the box, staged somewhere not completely away from where all the guests will be. At some point during your party, 'absentmindedly' pick it up and take a bite. (If you DO have a cat, you had better keep an eye on it the entire time!) -eric |

Royal(PITA) 14270 West Chester, Ohio | Subject: RE: White Elephant Gifts A group of Homeschool Mom's I used to be part of had an annual party with a white elephant exchange. there was one "gift" that happened by accident prior to my joining the group but it was recycled annually as a joke. Seems one of the ladies accidentally forgot her item so she rummaged around her purse and car. She had an empty tylenol bottle and a few other odds and ends. If you got that in the exchange whoever gifted it did get something else for you....but that was a gift that was recycled annually after the initial gifting. |

Pro 4292 Evanston, | Subject: RE: White Elephant Gifts I had some friends in Boston who had a tradition that had been going on for YEARS, ever since the evening that what showed up in one of the pretty boxes was a prom dress. A size 16, puffy-sleeved prom dress---fushia. That was just the beginning. Every year after that, the prom dress recipient would find SOME way to get it back to the following year's party. Stuffed in a glass jar THEN wrapped, perhaps -- anything to make it hard to guess which package it was. One year, we had a New Guy who happened to be a handsome young fella who was, well, a tad fond of himself. So we ALL conspired to make sure he got the box with the prom dress. After his initial chagrin, he out-classed us all and PUT IT ON, and strutted around the party wearing it. Amazing how a young man who looks at the mirror while lifting weights has the same shoulder width as a women's 16. Fun times! |

Veteran 197 | Subject: RE: White Elephant Gifts we just had our bike shop christmas party last night and the white elephant is always a highlight. The gift i got was amazing, one of the guys did a complete amateur style photo shoot in everything from tighty whities and cowboy boots to dresses while sprawled out in front of a burning fire place. It probably got the most laughs. Other gifts where, shake weight, bile saddles with adult toy mounted to it, dvd copy of a certain internet viral video that was so bad that simply its name should be NSFW. many other funny funny gifts. |
