Not all White Elephant party gifts have to be gag gifts

(953 MNC)

Still looking for that last-minute gift idea for the family or office White Elephant Party? Listen up.

There are some great ideas on a wish list from Indy100.com that your gift recipient will actually like. From a functioning Bananaphone to the hilarious-looking burrito blanket, you can remove the usual gag gifts that fit under the $40 ceiling, and instead get something fun and useful. Better to provide an actual thoughtful gift as opposed to something silly that will only provide entertainment for the party itself.

The term White Elephant, by the way, supposedly has its roots with the King of Siam — now Thailand — who would gift real white pachyderms to guests who displeased him so they would be financially ruined with the expensive upkeep of the animals.
