The White Elephant gift exchange thread

[trickyputt]

Its a little bit early but post your crazy, white elephant gifts here and see if you can improve your lie.

[David in FL]

I don't understand....

[Ernest Jones]

I think he's proposing a trading session for all our unwanted gifts (improving your lie?) after the holidays.

Maybe he wants to know what our WE gifts are, if you and yours do that. If so here goes. I typically go with a poop theme but this year changing it up. Last year I gave a bar of soap "truck stop turd", brown turd shaped soap with yellow chunks in it representing corn. My sister picked it. This year I bought a spoof candle. It's like a 7 day candle, you know those religious things with saints and stuff on them. I got it on Etsy it has Star Trek era Shatner on it dressed like a Catholic cardinal. It was between that and Starry Night painting someone did with the death star on it, had some other Star Wars stuff, called it Starry Wars Night. We always have some random guests show up at Xmas. A few don't get the WE thing and bring serious stuff. I always hope those folks get the real funky gifts.

Ahhh, I see. I had to look up White Elephant Gift Exchange, never heard (or should that be herd?) of that.

My in laws do a WE with serious gifts every year. I don't think its only for gags.

We tried that with the relatives one year and it went horribly.

[Dave2512]

Yeah it can be tough with serious gifts because typically there is a price limit to keep it even. Here WE is gag gifts and secret Santa is the serious exchange. When we did the SS it became a gift card exchange because it was tough to find anything worthwhile in the price limit.

I can offer a voodoo doll, a duck with flap pockets that sits on your armrest to hold remote controls, and a Franchione bobblehead doll (a Bama Coach).
