white elephant

“I know I'm taking a HUGE risk in asking this question but I have to take a white elephant gift a party Friday night. It needs to be tastful but funny.

Ideas?”

“The Buddah stomach clock is always obnoxious.

LOL..get a box of Record Player needles.”

“a crappy used 7 lb bowling ball

a half eaten box of chocolates

a bag of cat food

go get something totally cheesy made at a craft fair or make it yourself---like a wreath made out of purple plastic forks

a garden troll (not everyone likes Eugene's friends)

a Chia pet”

“i had to google white elephant:

The Dirty Santa gift exchange, or Yankee Swap, is a popular party game played during the Christmas season in the United States. The objective of the game is for guests of a party to each contribute one gift to the game, and ultimately each guest walks away with one gift from the game. Along the way is a random drawing to determine the order in which players get to unwrap gifts or "steal" previously opened gifts.



sounds weird to me, but i do love the other title, "dirty santa gift exhange"

now that sounds like a fun game to me.”

“Good ideas...I love the record needles but where would I get...oh...maybe some old eight track tapes!!! I do have some old albums...ok I'm thinking now....give me more ideas!!!”

“I found a ceramic pigs head at the thrift store the other day (you hang it in the kitchen) and since we have one that belonged to Mike's grandma, I bought it for the other wall in the kitchen, now we have two.
Go to the thrift store, youd be surprised what you find.”

“LOL...A slide rule”

“go get something totally cheesy made at a craft fair or make it yourself

go to any thrift store in america and get one of those brown pictures of an owl...i don't know why but i see one of those at every thrift store i go”

“I'd never heard of that, either! Nice to know Sacco wants to be molested by Santa, btw.”

“I have done the chipet before.

How about a furby?”

“give it up lyra, everybody knows you been playing the ol' dirty santa gift exchange game for years.


... now how effing perverted does that sound, eh? i love it!”

“anything chia is a great office gift”

“David Hasselhoff calendar.”

“Furbies aren't allowed at lot of workplaces any more because of security risks.

Our koi club is doing a variation on this, with tree ornaments. It's a riot.

Dang, I still have to get an ornament for that!!!”

“Pretty effing perverted! :-)”

“Isn't an office party is the Arts group at church.”

“Yankee swap is a great way to deal with a large family Christmas gathering. My girlfriends family has lots of siblings and children,so everybody buys a $20 gift, and the "pulling" of gifts gets hilarious. especially if someone ends up with an,, uhh "innapropriate" gift.”

“A box of depends.
Good for a laugh when the person opens it, watch their face as the realization sinks in that no one will swap for that.”

“We did this with gear at the Michigan contingent of TT Xmas parties. It was loads of fun.”

“what the heck kind of security risk is a Furby? Other than the fact that sooner or later it'll get thrown across the room.”

“Furbies... like all stuffed animals are a common place to hide all sorts of contraband. The State and Fed prisons will not allow stuffed animals to come in for that reason. Everything from explosives to drugs to you name it can be hidden in a stuffed critter.”

“OK...I ended up going through my old albums and found the sound track for RockyII. Is that stupid? It was between that and the tarnished silver butter dish!”
