We had one at my old job that was "real" gifts instead of gag gifts. It was a service industry job so most of us brought liquor, but a few people brought other nice things. This one guy brought a nice expensive gift and he happened to be the last person to open a gift. The gift he opened was a used stuffed animal.. like a dog toy. I guess the giver thought the game was gag gifts? But I remember the recipient being pissed he spent $50 on a gift and got nothing.

i went to one where the gifts had to be something you already owned, so noone would have to buy anything. I gave a set of Netter's anatomy flash cards, and that gift has be regiven every year since.

the best white elephant gift I ever got was a Tesla concert t shirt

that same year, someone gave a pair of crotchless panyhose

Most flashlights people have are junk.
A nice, high quality flashlight is (or should be) appreciated.

Serious question:

I thought gag gifts were part of the White Elephant thing? I know our office one is hilarious. Last year someone wrapped a brick up to make it look like a great present and wrote “Lucky Brick” on it. The lady who got it was sooooo pissed

I made out with an Iron Man Snuggie

One year our boss felt bad that he didn't remember to get anything so he wrote "2 free PTO days off of work" on a piece of paper and wrapped it.

That sucker was the prize of the day.

I thought what I spied to be a nice tall bottle of liquor sitting under the tree. Everyone who had gone before me had gotten some really nice gifts and now it was my turn.

I strolled up and grabbed the present I had been eyeing since I sat down.

It was a nutcracker

Its not high quality. I got it one year & its the kind you have to crank when the battery is low & one day I was just messing around with it and the handle broke.. So it was not able to be charged.

Sounds familiar.

Question: Is this an extended family annual thing y'all do, or with friends?

If family, is there always one member (the same person) that tries to change the rules EVERY year before we start playing?

Ours has turned into an alcohol gift set exchange. The chicks end up with the froo-froo martini ones, and the guys with the Bourbon ones. Wine seems to go both ways.
