Whether you’re looking for something popular, funny, useful, or trying to stick to a budget, I’ve included White Elephant gifts for everyone!

This post is all about the best white elephant gifts.

1. Electric Wine Bottle Opener

This is a gift I’ve actually had stolen from me in a gift exchange. Trust me, everyone fights over these! Electric wine bottle openers are the perfect gift for just about anyone who drinks wine.

This one is only $20 but it looks way more expensive than that!

2. Catch Phrase: Uncensored

A naughtier twist on a classic party game. Everyone loves catch phrase so this uncensored version would be a perfect white elephant gift.

The clues can be a little bit raunchy so this would be a fun gift to bring to a friends white elephant exchange rather than family (unless your family is into those kinds of things).

3. Compact Ice Cream Maker

This compact ice cream maker is such a fun idea for a white elephant gift! You can make fresh ice cream, gelato, sorbet, or frozen yogurt with just the push of a button. Plus it’s only $20!

4. Death Wish Coffee

Everyone can use a cup of double-strength coffee once in awhile, especially in these times.

If you know you’ll be around caffeine lovers, this would be the perfect gift to bring to the party.

5. Craft Cocktail Recipe Book

This craft cocktail recipe book is the perfect white elephant gift idea if everyone at the party is of drinking age. Everyone will appreciate new cocktail recipe ideas!

6. Indoor Herb Garden

This indoor herb garden has everything you need to grow 9 different herbs on your windowsill. I would definitely be fighting to get this gift!

7. Bob Ross Heat Changing Mug

I’m pretty sure everyone on earth loves Bob Ross. This mug would be perfect to pair with the mug warmer I linked further down in this article.

9. What Do You Meme Game

I’m so obsessed with this card game. It’s the perfect game to play with a group of friends and it would make an awesome white elephant gift.

Just a warning, some of the cards are a little NSFW so make sure you’re not giving it to your grandma (unless she’s a very cool grandma).

10. Aeropress Coffee Maker

I absolutely love my Aeropress and I use it every single morning. You get a perfect cup of coffee in just a few minutes. It seriously tastes like fancy coffeehouse coffee!

This will definitely be the white elephant gift everyone fights over.

Yeti makes incredible coffee mugs but did you know they make wine tumblers too? These will keep your wine chilled for hours and they’re pretty much indestructible.

Pretty much everyone drinks coffee or tea so this gift will be a total crowd pleaser. This mug warmer keeps your beverages hot or cold forever so you can sip at your own pace.
