White Elephant

Ok ladies I need some ideas.  DH's family decided to do white elephant this year instead of buying gifts for everyone.  The gifts are supposed to be work $50, no alcohol as his little brother is under age and his father's girlfriend is a recovering alcoholic.  This is tough for me as I am one only 2 girl that will be there.  I was thinking maybe $50 worth of scratch off lottery tickets or something.  Any ideas?

Re: White Elephant

  • J's family does an exchange & its almost always gift certificates to popular stores or a good restaurant.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Lottery tickets sound nice... but  I thought white elephants were supposed to be gag gifts or crap you have around the house you are trying to get rid of?

    I got a Justin Bieber cd for our white elephant, muahaha.

  • I'm with Britt on this one. Maybe you could give them some weird gift you've received over the years plus a gift card for $25 or something. Maybe I don't get what White Elephant is though.
  • Ya I've always thought a white elephant was more of a gag gift.  That's a lot to spend on that. 
    I'd probably do something small for a gag and then doing something else you know they'd like.
  • I think they're just calling it white elephant.  Instead of buying a gift for everyone we're just buying one.  Instead of picking names we're just buying a generic gift and everyone chooses one. So not true white elephant.
