Hey Pandas, What's The Best White Elephant Exchange Gift You've Received? (Closed)

Cotton candy in a wine bottle

My friend got a boxed enema once. During the game, it was stolen three times...

An actual white elephant! Sadly not real but a knick-knak. Still on display!

I got a dancing dinosaur that played "Everyone Walk The Dinosaur." Super annoying but very cute.

I got an ‘office basketball’ game at a work party, the kind of game that you wear the net on your head and others could try to make baskets in it. I was so excited for it but it immediately got stolen. My next gift was a stuffed knitted penguin container with a clear plastic belly full of mini candy canes. I still fill it full of Christmas themed candy and set it out every year.

A bowling ball. It was a standard at the annual office party - if you received it, you had to come up with a clever way to regift the next year. If you left the company, you had to pass it on to someone still there so they could gift it. It was a treasured and well-displayed item.

I got the last gift available, which was this little, cheap Bluetooth shower speaker. Kind of shrugged and figured it might end up a regift later. Noooooope, turns out that little speaker is amazing. I use it all the time.

Toilet paper. Everyone thought it was hilarious when I announced I was thrilled to have it because I actually needed it at home.

William Shatner’s Christmas album from, like, 1970. He sings carols. Badly. It was stolen repeatedly.

I worked at this one school where they had a Christmas party for the teachers.
Yhey had this tradition of gifting a box of condoms every year as a white elephant gift. Like, literally the same box of condoms. It's been passed around for at least 15 years now.

In the UK we call it secret santa it's basically the same but we put all names in a box, you pick one and you buy a present for that person. Each person spends the same, then you put under the office tree with the person's name on, they don't know who sent it. I have seen some pretty ugly gifts that people have given, they clearly didn't like the person lol. I once got a 1000 piece jigsaw of a train, I still have no idea who hates me

I gifted my SIL, who's obsessed with apples a solid marble red apple with a golden leaf on top. Believe it or not it cost less than the requisite $10.

A notebook with matching stickers and an embroidery kit. Loved it as a teen

A book called 'very Valentine' about a girl "with a heart the size of the city of new york. Her mission? To make the perfect pair of shoes"

I wasn't entirely sure what they were one year, so I brought some ugly clown dolls. I received some cheap nail polish. Fast forward a few years, and I'm starting high school. There's this really cool girl in one of my classes, and we soon become friends. After a bit of talking we realized she was the one who had received the clowns.

I got some nice headphones that turned out to be worth quite a bit of money, I still have them and lucky I do caz I love to listen to music 24/7!

Snap Snot. Gag gift where you shove a small cork up yer nose and pull on the "snot" then let it go and it snaps you in the face. Our up-tight prudish Executive secretary opened it and I thought her face would fall off. The rest of the office fell into a side splitting laughing fit. It was great!

Not one that I have received, but one that I gave. At my international school, everybody has to take a language, either Russian, French or English. My sibling takes Russian and is very picky about us saying Russian words correctly. I made a flipbook of Russian words, translated into English with a picture of the item. My dad now owns it and will take it out to annoy my sibling whenever he wants.

I got a lanturn. That was rhe only one I received so it was the best and the worst. One time another person I know got a bottle of vegtable V8 with a note that said "eat your veggies"
