During the Christmas season, there are often lots of parties to attend and tons of Christmas presents to purchase. Among the festivities are white elephant gift exchanges, which are fun — and at times, competitive — gift swaps to play with a group of people. The rules are pretty straightforward. Each person brings one wrapped gift to contribute to the pile, and numbers or names are drawn at random to determine the order in which people open presents. Players unwrap gifts one-by-one, and you can either choose to open an unwrapped goodie from the pile, or steal an already-opened present from someone else. Once all the gifts are opened and no one wishes to steal a gift from anyone else, the game is officially over.

Whether you play with your besties, fam, or coworkers, white elephant gifts are typically quirky and fun. They are usually also inexpensive gifts, as a budget is often set so all picks are within the same price range. Cute stocking stuffers like keychains and claw hair clips are always a good idea, as are novelty gifts like a Stranger Things special edition Lite Brite (but of course, that’s not the only gift idea for Stranger Things superfans). So kick off the group text and organize a white elephant swap with your squad, because below, we have a list of clever and affordable white elephant gift ideas that everyone will be reaching for.
