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 play with my wife's family where the guys buy for the guys and girls buy for the girls.

$30 cap - In the two years I've played, I have bought a Yeti mug and a really nice,3 inch fixed blade knife as guy gifts.

I have received one of those black and white composition notebooks like you used in 3rd grade with a pack of colored pencils and a dehumidifier that was bought at a K&B in what was probably the late '80's.

Some people just don't put any effort into looking for nice gifts in the price range.

We separate the men & women, which means I have to sit through that shite twice.
