White Elephant Gift Ideas Under $15

White elephant gift exchanges are just as much a part of the holiday season as mistletoe. Every year there are at least a few opportunities to come up with the craziest gift idea you can and join in a white elephant gift exchange. These white elephant gift ideas are some of our favorites and are sure to get a laugh at your holiday party.

Whether you love or hate white elephant gift exchanges, it seems like there is always at least one holiday event that includes one. I’ve had a lot of fun with them in the past, although if you want to hear the craziest white elephant gift I’ve received check out my Instagram Stories.

These white elephant gift ideas should take some of the stress out of your holiday season. I like to have at least one on hand for any surprise holiday parties that come up because we all know that the holiday season never really goes according to plan.

Farting Animals Coloring Book

I have legitimately sent this coloring book with my teenager to a white elephant gift exchange. He was super embarrassed. I thought it was hilarious.

This is a super affordable white elephant gift idea and one that is guaranteed to get people talking at your holiday party.

Clamdy Canes

Now, I’m not a big fan of candy canes anyway, but these seafood flavored Clamdy Canes are pretty much the last thing on my list of things to try this holiday season.

They would definitely be a conversation starter if nothing else.

“Bring Me a Pickle” Novelty Socks

There are some people who REALLY like pickles out there. These socks are definitely for them. I know I have at least one kid who would seriously get a kick out of these, whether it was at a white elephant gift exchange or in his holiday stocking this year.

The bottom of these socks read “If you can read this, bring me a pickle”.

These would be so much fun for a white elephant gift exchange and would likely get some use after the party is over too.

Earwax Candle Kit

This is just an empty box but it will certainly get a reaction when it is opened!

Put your real white elephant gift inside the box. Because the box is so funny, you could get away with putting anything in it that you find around the house . . . or pantry.

This is a great way to get a white elephant gift when you are on a budget. The box itself is affordable and anything goes on the inside.

Everyone loves a good dad joke. Don’t they?

This book of 101 “So Bad, They’re Good” Dad Jokes is a great fit for a holiday white elephant gift exchange (or as a gift for dad if he needs some help with his dad joke game).

Bacon Bandage

I mean, everyone loves bacon, right?

These bacon bandages should be in every first-aid kit and are a great choice for a white elephant gift idea.

It says “touch & feel” on the box, so I’m assuming these have the texture of bacon, possibly, or else there is some other reason you’d want to touch these.

Either way, great gift idea.
