WATCH: 3 popular gift picks you can’t go wrong with
White elephant gifts are meant to be funny or impractical, but they can also be useful and -- most importantly -- cheap!
Another great part about shopping for a white elephant gift is the fact that they don't have to be personalized since you won't know who's going to receive it. And while shopping for a gift that can please a crowd can be tricky, but we have plenty of suggestions that will go over well regardless of the recipient.
Thoughtful gifts for hard-to-shop-for people: Finds for less than $50
For those who have never participated in a classic white elephant exchange, this is a group gifting activity. All participants take turns in choosing between an unopened gift or "stealing" an unwrapped gift from another participant.
There is usually a gifting amount maximum ranging from $10 to $50, ensuring everyone gets a fair chance at receiving a fun prize.
If you are taking part in a white elephant gift exchange of your own this year, you can shop our picks below, all at various price points to keep you on budget while shopping.
