White Elephant Gift Ideas
Sure to be Stolen

Home » White Elephant Gift Ideas

I have been to 2 types of White Elephant parties: one where you bring a standard gift within a specified price limit, and one where you're supposed to dig something out of your own closet that you never use and don't want. I like that kind best-- the "gifts" are funny and sometimes someone's trash really is another's treasure.

But if you're going to a party where you're supposed to buy something that most people would actually want, here are the Most Frequently Stolen Gifts (that's a good thing).

They can all be found somewhere close like the grocery store, Target, or even the gas station.

  1. Lottery tickets presented in an inexpensive picture frame.

  2. Movie tickets with big movie-style boxes of candy.

  3. A Funny Game like Twister, "Would You Rather", Ouija board or Magic 8 Ball.

  4. Wine with easy wine opener (Costco has a nice one for $20).

  5. Anything "As Seen on TV" like the Clapper or Chia Pets. You can find them at Target or Walgreen's.

  6. Gift cards are popular but sometimes you're not "allowed" to give a giftcard unless it's accompanied by something else. So give a Victoria's Secret card with a pair of underwear.

    TIP: Disguise the gift cards by putting them in huge gift bags with a bunch of tissue paper.

  7. My favorite is toilet paper. I read about someone bringing a huge Costco package of it to a white elephant party. I couldn't bring myself to do it but you know, I'd probably steal that!
