The 10 Best White Elephant Gifts. Ever.
If nothing else, the giving of a white elephant gift is the ultimate test of one’s creativity, practicality and sense of humor. Or, it’s just a great way to find out if someone actually hates you judging by how terrible their gift to you may be. Personally, I think white elephant gifts need to be at least somewhat useful but above all, they should make someone smile. Whether that smile is out of joy or hilarity (or embarrassment) is entirely up to you.
And so we commence this totally epic list of white elephant gifts guaranteed to tickle your teammates, co-workers, friends, family, therapist, whoever.
It may be ugly but it's your best friend when it gets nippy. Plus, who are you trying to impress while you're splayed out on the couch, plowing through seasons 1-5 of Parks and Recreation? That cat on your lap?
