#1. 101 Pooping Puppies Puzzle

Some of the best White Elephant gifts are those that are both totally practical and completely silly at the same time. This puzzle is a perfect example. Who doesn’t love a good puzzle, especially during the holiday winter months? And 1000 piece is a nice challenge without being overly difficult. It just so happens that at the end of all your hard work, you’ll have a field full of a hundred - wait no a hundred and one - pooping puppies.

#2. Table Top Mini Bowling Game

First of all, anything miniature is adorable. Second, games are awesome. So combining both into a tape-top game you can have on your desk to play during those really long and boring Zoom calls? That’s a perfect White Elephant gift for your company holiday party. Just click “mute” and no one will even hear how much fun you’re having.

#3. Saucemoto Dip Clip for your Car

So you’re cruising down Route 22, enjoying your munchies from your favorite fast food chain when the worst happens: traffic ahead, you slam on your breaks and suddenly you have 3 oz of BBQ sauce on your new shirt. No more! With the Saucemoto Dip Clip, you can secure your favorite condiments for you and your passengers to enjoy.

#4. Yodeling Pickle

It’s a pickle that yodels. I mean, what else is there to say? Sure to bring a ton of laughs at your next Christmas party.

#5. Lightsaber Chopsticks

Sure, since Disney bought Star Wars it’s even more omni-present than it was the prior few decades. But is that really a bad thing? Sometimes you just want to enjoy some tasty asian noodles or sushi while also celebrating one of the greatest Sci-Fi franchises of all time. These are sure to be stolen a few times during your gift-swap.

#6. Circular Saw Pizza Cutter

Some people just can’t get enough tools, so why not bring a new one into the kitchen? Modeled to look like a circular saw, this pizza wheel will chop right through your next pizza, whether home-made on your fancy pizza stone or thrown in the oven from the freezer.

#7. 4-in-1 Wireless Karaoke Microphone

This one is great for an office holiday party, especially if you’re a hybrid team that still goes into the office. Why? Because whoever wins it can leave it in the office and it can be Karaoke night ANY night (or morning, or lunch…). This all-in-one Karaoke device that can sync to your phone or other device is sure to be a hit at your gift exchange.

#8. 16-Color Toilet Night Light

If you really want to lean into the SILLY gifts, this toilet night light is perfect! Motion-activated, this is the perfect way to illuminate your way when you’re on that middle-of-the-night bathroom break. You can even customize the color to set just the right mood.

#9. AvoSeedo Avocado Tree Growing Kit

This is certainly a wacky gift, but you know some people will love it! Who doesn’t enjoy a good avocado, and growing plants from scratch is such a fun activity. It’s also a nice way to bring some greenery to your desk.

#10. 101 So Bad, They’re Good Dad Jokes

Do you wish your boss started every meeting with a joke so bad that you can’t help but laugh (or at least groan and roll your eyes in reluctant approval)? Well you better hope they win your gift at your next office Christmas party, because this book is chock full of those kind of “Dad Jokes”.

#11. Giant Bread Pillow

This thing is so absurd you can’t help but laugh looking at it. But it’s also a practical item, offering lumbar support or a fun plush toy to kids.

#13. Bacon Bandages

Have a couple accident prone friends? Then maybe this is the perfect item to throw into your next White Elephant. Protect wounds from the elements while also sporting bacon. What else is there to say?

#14. Toilet Coffee Mug

Mugs are a classic White Elephant gift option (it’s even in our top 3 gift themes in our 2022 Trends Report!) and the toilet mug is the pinnacle of the category. It’s kinda gross, very silly but at the end of the day allows you to swig down 10oz of coffee in the morning. Isn’t that what’s really important?

#15. Pet Butler Serving Vest (Prank Box)

OK, so this isn’t actually a Pet Butler Vest (although we sure wish it was!). It’s a “Prank Box”: an empty box that makes the recipient think that’s the real gift, but then you put something different inside which is the actual gift. It’s a great way to get a laugh without giving something totally silly and impractical.
