White Elephant Gift Ideas Under $20 That Will Get Stolen

Funny & Quirky Gifts


  • A Giant Tortilla Blanket: Who doesn't want to be a human burrito?

  • The 'Potty Putter': A mini-golf game for the bathroom. It's ridiculous, and someone will want it.

  • Bob Ross Chia Pet: Watch the happy little trees grow from Bob's head.

  • Nicolas Cage Sequin Pillow: A pillow that reveals Nic Cage's face when you swipe the sequins. A true masterpiece.

  • A Yodeling Pickle: It's exactly what it sounds like. No one needs it, but everyone will want to try it.

  • Desktop Punching Bag: For those stressful post-holiday workdays.

    • Actually Useful (But Still Funny) Gifts


  • Microwave S'mores Maker: A novelty gadget that actually works and makes delicious treats.

  • A 'The Office' Themed Item: A 'World's Best Boss' mug or a Schrute Farms beanie.

  • Funny Socks: Think 'If you can read this, bring me tacos' or socks with your pet's face on them.

  • A Quality Hot Sauce Set: For the person who likes to add a little spice to their life.

    • Hosting Tips for a Great Party


  • Set Clear Rules: Establish the price limit and the 'steal' limit (e.g., a gift can only be stolen 3 times) before you begin.

  • Wrap Gifts Deceptively: Put a small gift in a huge box, or make a soft gift feel hard. The surprise is part of the fun.

  • Encourage Creativity: Award a prize for the 'Most Bizarre' or 'Most Fought-Over' gift to inspire better participation next year.

  • Keep the Pace Up: Don't let people take too long to decide whether to open a new gift or steal. The energy should be fast and fun.
