25 Unique & Funny White Elephant Gifts That Will Make You Giggle

Out of gift ideas for your next work Christmas party? Here are the most unique and funny White Elephant gifts that you should check out!

One of the best parts about the holiday season is the thoughtful gifts that we give and receive. There are multiple ways to make gift-giving fun: we have the usual exchange of gifts, Secret Santa, musical gifts (like musical chairs, except that the items get passed around), and our favorite, White Elephant.

White Elephant is sometimes referred to as the competitive version of Secret Santa. It usually starts by contributing a unique (and often funny) item to a common pool of presents, and players draw numbers on what order they will go in. The first player will select a present and open it in front of everyone, and the following players can either choose to pick an unwrapped gift from the pile or steal a previous player’s gift. 

After everyone has had a turn and all the gifts have been opened, the first player has the privilege to swap his or her original gift with anyone else’s. 

White Elephant gifts are often unisex, and can (sometimes) follow a certain theme based on your group’s rules. Below, we found you some unique and funny White Elephant gifts that you can totally get for your next holiday party game so you and your friends can share a laugh. 

Let’s get started!
