View on AmazonTop 97 White Elephant Gifts
At a White Elephant party, some gifts get stolen three times and some sit in the corner all night. The good ones usually get a laugh when they are opened but are also something people would genuinely want to take home, and that is what we went for here. You will find some funny ones, some games, and a few that are simply useful.

View on AmazonHow we picked these White Elephant gifts
We ranked these by how likely they are to get stolen. Everything is rated 4.5 stars or higher, and we paid close attention to reviews that mentioned a party or said everyone wanted it. Games and outdoor sets do especially well because the whole room can picture using them, while the gag gifts only made it on if they are funny in person and not just in the product photo.
White Elephant gifts for a $20, $30, or $50 limit
Whether your family calls it Dirty Santa, Yankee Swap, or something else entirely, the limit is usually $20 to $30, so use the price buttons above to filter. The useless box, the toilet golf game, and the desktop punching bag are all great under $30, and if your group goes up to $50, the cornhole set and the electronic dartboard are usually the hit of the night.
