Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, there's a good chance you've taken part in a White Elephant gift exchange. Also known as a Yankee Swap or Dirty Santa gift exchange, White Elephant parties are a great way to give fun and inexpensive gifts to friends, family members, or co-workers.
While White Elephant parties are all about having fun and making sure everyone leaves with a great gift, no one wants to bring the present that no one wants. The best White Elephant gifts tend to be items that'll appeal to everyone invited (especially since you don't know who your recipient will be!). Of course, finding a White Elephant gift that anyone would love is tough, especially when you're trying to work within a budget and shopping at the last minute. So for this guide, we asked WD staffers to share their favorite affordable gifts under $25 to get you started.
From funny funny Christmas gifts to actually useful gifts for $20 or less, here's hoping your selection ends up being the most coveted gift of the night!
