Every year one side of my family has the whole white elephant party. Its not hard to get a gift that you didn't buy last year, that anyone who gets it will have some use for. Well there is this one person who brings the same gift every year.. well they bring a flashlight. Its not the exact same flashlight, but its still a flashlight. I go into the game as if I wasn't getting anything so that whatever I get its a bonus, but last year was the 2nd year in a row someone got the flashlight. I am sure there are a lot of other gifts worse than a flashlight, has anyone ever got anything that was just down right awful?

This person doesn't happen to always eat crawfish with rubber gloves because his fingers are sensitive, huh? If so, we're related to the same fricking pussy.

In order to get good answers you need to say the price range. People may remember bad gifts that are high price range white elephants.

But many people might not remember low price range white elephants, where the truly poor gifts lie.

A white elephant. Clearly, it was endangered and shouldn't have been paraded about at a party, plus it was shitting everywhere. It also broke all the stools while trying to balance on them.

I went to one of those parties and ended up with a pair of Velcro aerator shoes.

Some shitty gel candle in a wine glass with a palm tree and a plastic saints helmet stuck in the gel. Ridiculous "gift" that I of course got stuck with.

This is kind of the inverse of that. I bought a t shirt from dirty coast (that could be exchanged for one a different size) for the white elephant game a couple of years ago. My cousin's 12 year old son wound up with it and threw a hissy fit. I wanted to tell him to stop acting like a brat, but I restrained myself.

White elephant parties should be left for groups where you don't know the people very well. We switched from pull names to whit elephant in our family (large family). Buying those gifts was always the hardest thing to do. Plus you'd end up women and men together and some guy would end up with a purse or some shite. We finally just gave up and said were all old enough to forgo presents. We only buy for your god-child or something good special like that.

But the worst was with a group of friends. As a joke someone bought a shake weight and Justin Bieber trading cards. Triggered a whole new game where your white elephant gift must have As Seen On TV on the box. So you went into it knowing you were getting crap, but it was funny.

I brought a hamster in a ball to a white elephant once. I just wrapped a card saying you got a hamster and then rolled the little guy over. Nobody stole the gift from him and he was genuinely mad at me for bringing a hamster. I usually bring sea monkeys though.

My Mom has been known to bring frozen food wrapped up. I dont know whether that classifies as an awesome gift or a worst gift. She'll wrap a styrofoam ice chest with frozen food in it.
Every other year or so her gift will be 3 stuffed deboned chickens from Hebert's Specialty Meats. You want to see a redneck family lose their shite and start cursing at each other, put delicious gift food in the mix and the "frick you's" will start flying out. It doesnt help that we all start drinking at about 10 am and then play our White Elephant game at like 4pm.

On a side note, Ive played White Elephant with my other side of the family and a few years ago we have this old "distant aunt" that gets up half drunk to walk to the middle of the present circle and losing her balance with her 3" heels she falls to the ground. This was like watching a trainwreck in slow motion as she wobbled from one shoe to the next, step by step. Well, she finally bites it and falls to the ground, but the kicker is that she tries to fricking kung fu ninja roll and accidentally lets out the loudest frickin fart Ive ever heard. I swear I thought she blew a hole in her damn white jeans. Also, forgot to mention that she is a fat frick. Apparently, the rest of the family were running to her aid trying to help her up and my brother and I just busted out laughing. We couldnt stop, 10 mins later we look at each other and are both just crying with laughter. We had to walk outside and couldnt finish the game. Ive never seen her again. Good times. We actually play White Elephant with this side of the family Saturday, so hopefully something else great happens.
