32 White Elephant Gifts People Will Fight Over!

          For many, the most anticipated part of the holiday season isn’t the gifts they’re about to receive, but the surprise felt when uncovering the mystery of the cheerfully covered wrapping paper. Exchanging gifts in the traditional sense is always nice - you know what to expect because you know what’s on your list, but the feeling of not knowing what you’re about to uncover can be half of the fun. That’s why switching it up and exchanging white elephant gifts is such a fun way to get together during the holidays - the expectations are low, and the surprises are high! We’ve compiled a list of White Elephant Gift ideas for your next get together or holiday party, complete with family friendly good white elephant gifts to a tad more risqué funny white elephant gifts.

1) Burrito Blanket -This one makes first on our list because let’s be honest - who in your party wouldn’t want to be as comfortable as the insides of their favorite burrito?

What? In California, this is sometimes true to size.

2) Banana-Saving Hats - It’s tough to eat healthy with all the sweets around during the holidays. It’s no wonder all your bananas have been ignored and gone bad recently, and we don’t blame you.
