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.

New or used? This makes a HUGE difference.

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.

I always buy a gift that I would want, just incase I need to steal it back.

I get a gift that only I would want. That way I can steal it of pick it and no one will care. I am a team player that goes along with the game, but basically just buy myself a gift.

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

Last year I went into the game knowing I was stealing my own gift and it worked out perfect. Same party this year, same plan, same effin guy opens mine
Couldn't do it to him again so I ended up worth the worst shitty gift at the party.

I was at a party that had the whole white elephant thing going on, but I was not participating. Someone brought a cookbook by Emeril Lagasse. This was 8-10 yrs ago, you would think most people at least heard of him.. but I remember hearing "What is this shite? Who the frick is Emeril Lagasse (but they fricked his named up)". That shite was funny.

We had a bunch of friends that used to get together and do a liquor white elephant. You would see cases of MD2020, Firefly/lemonade combo, but the same bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream gift set showed up every year .

I always bring the Crown Royal gift set with two glasses. Im pretty much the only one that drinks it so I always get it back

Our minimum is 25$ and I made it explicitly clear. Sometime still brought a snowman salt and pepper shaker valued at about $2.25. The person who picked the shakers hasn't been back since.

You can never go wrong with something like this, but you are the only one who drinks it? Do the other people not drink or just don't drink Crown?

Co worker brought this and when it was opened there was stunned silence. It was incredible.
