50 Steal-Worthy White Elephant Gifts Everyone Will Want to Take Home — Starting at $6

Choosing the right gift for a white elephant party is part strategy, part comedy, and all fun. At the last one I went to, three different families brought the exact same tabletop s’mores maker (yes, I put it on this list), and as someone who ended up with one, I can confirm: It’s a hit with both kids and adults. 

This roundup of white elephant gift ideas includes a mix of useful, cozy, clever, and laugh-out-loud gifts that keep the swapping lively and the “steals” coming fast. All picks are under $50 and start at as little as $6.
