When it comes to shopping for White Elephant gifts, it can be tough to find useful items-especially when you don't know which person will receive your gift.

You can choose certain themes to abide by or opt for the most randomly hilarious presents you can find (and let's be honest-sometimes, those are the best White Elephant gifts). This continues until either all the gifts are gone, or friendships have been forever soiled by questionable gift-stealing. The next person can either pick a new mystery gift or steal from someone else (stealing rules vary). The person chosen first picks a gift and unwraps it. Each person wraps a gift, places it on a table, and then draws a number. The White Elephant gift rules are pretty simple. The term “White Elephant” has a long (and pretty boring) history we won't go over, but just know the game calls for gifting something of little value, which some might find to be kind of obnoxious and burdensome.

Thankfully, there are occasions like the “White Elephant” gift exchange (also known as a “Yankee Swap,' “Dirty Santa,” or whatever other terms just mean “gifting your friends weird stuff they probably don’t need, but will definitely find hilarious”). For the rest of us last-minute men, well, it's a source of unending anxiety. FOR MOST y ear-long shoppers, the holidays bring unalloyed joy.
