White Elephant Gifts People Actually Want

Don't be the person who brings a lame gift to a White Elephant party (and the same goes for Secret Santa, Grab Bag, and so on). Don't even think about bringing a gift card, candle, or body lotion. Here are some ideas of cool gifts people in your office, your group of friends, or family will actually want.

1. Pizza Cone Maker

Amazon

What's better than pizza? Pizza in the shape of an ice cream cone!

2. 2 Pounds of Red Starbursts

Amazon

Everyone's favorite flavor of Starburst. They'll be thankful they don't have to pick around the icky yellow kind.

3. Wingman Shot Glass

Amazon

It will make taking a shot a little less painful. They'll probably even invite you to use it with them.

4. The Something Store.com

somethingstore.com

For the low price of $10, this website will send you a surprise gift. It doesn't ask you any information about yourself, so it is a total shock when you receive it. They will send you anything from a Kindle to an inflatable punching tower! It's just the luck of the draw.

5. The Hungover Cookbook

Amazon

Hangovers. Everyone gets them. Everyone hates them. This book will help the lucky receiver cook during their recovery.

6. Sriracha To-Go Bottle Key Chain

Amazon

Have you ever really wished you had hot sauce with your meal when it was unavailable? Whoever receives your gift probably has too. This convenient on-the-go bottle of sriracha goes right on your key chain!

7. Mini Ice Luge

Amazon

An essential to any college party. Ice luges can be expensive and heavy, but this do-it-yourself kit fixes that problem.

8. Why You're So Hot Book

Amazon

Boost their confidence with this personal feel-good book about why they are hot. They'll thank you for years to come,

9. Emoji Pancake Pan

Amazon

Everyone likes pancakes, and they'll love them even more when their pancakes are smiling at them.

10. iPhone Merry Charger

Amazon

Everyone is constantly breaking or losing their phone chargers. Give someone a nice surprise with this holiday charger that lights up when you use it.

May the gifts be ever in your favor!

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
