Looking for a hilarious twist this holiday season? Check out our top picks for funny white elephant gifts that are guaranteed to bring on the laughter!

Everyone loves a funny white elephant gift, and thankfully the season of gift exchange ideas is upon us! It’s a tradition for us to throw an annual game night holiday party. And we’ve started adding a white elephant gift exchange to the mix!Before we get started with the funny gift ideas, here’s how to a host a white elephant gift exchange…

How to Host a White Elephant Gift Exchange

There’s really no right or wrong way to play a white elephant gift game. You might have also heard it called “dirty santa game” or “yankee swap”.

They’re essentially all very similar gift exchange games, and the rules can be as strict or as loose as you want them to be! Guests can bring any type of gift: family-friendly gifts, regifted gifts, funny gag gifts, or even old items from home. They’re typically lowered gifts under $20.

White Elephant Game rules —

• Everyone brings a wrapped gift and places it in the center of the room where everyone can see
• Players draw a random number to know when it’s their turn to pull a gift from the pile
• The person who draws the number one will be the first to select a gift from the pile. Then, person number two will choose, and so on.
• Person number two and every one after can either choose a gift from the pile or choose to steal an already opened gift
• Each gift can only be stolen 3 times. On the third steal, it’s officially claimed and can’t be in rotation any longer.
• You can also only steal from a single person 3 times before they’re exempt from being stolen from
• The game continues until all the players have had a turn, the player that drew the number one now gets a chance to steal a gift back from someone else as long as the gift hasn’t already been stolen 3 times.

Of course, there should always be an honorary best white elephant gift trophy for whoever brings the best Christmas gifts!
