White Elephant Gift Ideas for Your Office

For your office party's White Elephant Gift exchange, you can't go wrong with one of these....

The Chia Pet

A traditional favorite. You can’t go wrong with a plant that looks like a pet. In this case, you don’t have to feed the plant. Not exactly anyway. You just seed it and water it. It is, after all, the “gift that grows.” And now, there’s Chia Scooby-Doo, Chia Daffy Duck, and Chia Garfield.

The “Hilly Billy Bubble Bath”

Get some beans. Put them in a small jar. Attach instructions that say: “Cook and eat two hours before taking your bath.” And there you have it, a Hill Billy Bubble Bath.

Worst Movie Gift Pack

Go to the Internet Movie Database and find the list of the 100 Worst Movies Ever – according to IMDb voters. Pick one or two and wrap them up as a Gift Pack. You’ve got some real winners to choose from like “SuperBabies – Baby Geniuses 2” or (even better) “Santa With Muscles.” You may need to plan ahead, though, since I doubt too many stores actively carry these films.

Star Trek 40th Anniversary Phaser Replica

Where would American culture be without Star Trek? And what better way to celebrate Trek’s 40th anniversary than by contributing a 40th anniversary phaser replica to the white elephant gift exchange in your office?

Star Wars Force FX Lightsabers

Come on. Admit it! Haven’t you fantasized about wielding a lighstaber in the thick of battle? No? Errr….I thought everyone had that fantasy. Well, I’m sure someone in your office has. Star Wars Force FX Lightsabers have become quite popular recently. Why not contribute one to the office white elephant gift pile?

Space Age Ant Habitat

Cool! Ants that can breathe and eat gel! And a habitat that glows. We’re talking hours of fun here. You can’t go wrong with this white elephant gift idea.
