What to bring, what to bring?
If you're not sure what a White Elephant gift is (and neither am I), it was explained to me that you just bring something from your home and people swap and rotate and trump the gifts.
I don't really get it, I guess I could bring a 1/2 empty liter bottle of Tanqueray.
What would you guys bring to a charade like this? My office environment sucks pretty bad. My team and I make jokes and give each other shite to keep it light hearted but there's alot of depression in the building and we've been losing people left and right since the company fricked people over big time with insurance changes with 4 days notice. Was pretty shady.
I'm realizing I likely still have a 1/8 oz. of weed I never used that's a couple years old but it's been sealed up tight in a vacuum sealed bag. I'm just curious how people would react to something like that.

white elephant is trashy as shite, so you might want to get drunk as frick

Went to one in my 20's. Everyone wanted the coffeemaker and the 12-pack of unused golf balls.
Just bring something decent that people may like, and that you would like to either get rid of or upgrade.

not sure why execs always want to do this kind of shite...does anyone ever really want to go to a party at your boss' house?...
what the hell could possibly make someone think that everyone wants to go to a boss' house when away from work?....

I thought it was odd/gag gifts not stuff from your home.

I don't know. The only thing I've ever done remotely close to this was when I worked at a bar and we went to a Mexican restaurant and got their big room and everyone brought a fifth of liqour and we did the trade/swap to get your favorite booze thing and we ended up just drinking the booze and getting obliterated.

As to a potential gift, something stupid, just go to a Goodwill and find something old dead people bought in the 60's or 70's and their kids dumped it there. Think small disco ball light or Chia Pet.
As to behavior, be a light social drinker, no more than one an hour. You never know where fate will take you and the others there over the next twenty years. You can't ever erase a bad night and it might haunt you for a long time.

Find that perfect white elephant gift. Get it gift wrapped or wrap the gift yourself, and bring it to the party stealthily.
If you're having trouble coming up with a gift that is both off-the-wall and appropriate, consider these gift ideas: LINK
Hideous jewelry
Perfume or lotion with an unpleasant scent.
Cheap, ugly statues or other decorative knick-knacks.
An obnoxious T-shirt, sweater, tie, or bow-tie.
Workout videos, particularly those with Richard Simmons.
A framed picture of your Leader, but only if the boss has a good sense of humor.

Batteries with a note reading, "toy not included."

Everybody draws a number. Gifts are wrapped beforehand. When it's your turn, you pick a new gift to open or steal something that has already been opened. It's usually a mixed bag of a few cool items and mostly awful crap that people had laying around their house.
Examples of gifts I've ended up with over the years:
dancing dirk nowitzki doll
Wooden trout key ring that hangs by the door

Porno mag, lotion, and kleenex. Label it "jerk off starter kit"

Not a problem. I barely drink these days as it is.
and I DGAF about what they think. I don't plan to be there in another 120 days anyway. 20 days would be preferable to me.
