If you’ve ever played White Elephant, you know it’s not your typical gift exchange. Instead of thoughtfully picking a present for someone specific, the goal is to bring a gift that’s universally appealing, a little surprising, maybe even a bit funny or luxe—and absolutely steal-worthy.
During the game, everyone draws numbers, picks gifts, unwraps them one by one, and, of course, steals the ones they want most. The best White Elephant gifts strike that sweet spot between practical, unique, and delightfully extra.
This year, if you want to bring the gift that everyone keeps trying to swap for, we’ve rounded up the perfect line-up—all between $50 and $100, all fabulous, and all guaranteed to spark a friendly holiday tug-of-war.
