Needs to be rules on those - Some WE are designed to be the terrible gifts.


Yeah, there needs to be rules. We used to do something where it had to be something from your home that you already owned.

If you just tell people "white elephant" then in their head they may just hear "shitty gift."

It sounds like the people who gave a chicken and chips understood the assignment where everyone else didn't. A "white elephant" gift, by definition, is a shitty gift no one wants.

If your office wants people to exchange desirable or practical gifts then don't have a "White Elephant" Gift party

as an adult who could give two shits about another adult giving me a gift, being forced to participate in some dumbass gift giving endeavor at the office would end one of two ways. You get a gift from my truck or office b/c i won't remember to get one or care to get one, or I go buy someothign stupid like a rotisserie chicken to let you know how stupid it is to go buy gifts for other adults.

Last White Elephant Party I attended was with my trivia team who had multiple women suspected of being virgins over 30.

I bought the only dildo in Lake Charles that could be had for $20.
