50 Best White Elephant Gifts 2024: Funny, Useful, and Steal-Worthy Ideas

White Elephant gift exchanges add fun to holiday parties, but finding the perfect gift—funny enough to entertain, useful enough to keep, and desirable enough to steal—requires strategy.

Under $20

Funny coffee mugs, desk toys, novelty kitchen gadgets, cozy socks, specialty candles, plant kits, phone accessories, and gourmet snacks hit the sweet spot.

$20-$30

Bluetooth speakers, blankets, board games, cocktail kits, tech accessories, quirky home decor, and experience gift cards become most-stolen items.

$30-$50

Quality items everyone wants: wireless chargers, streaming subscriptions, premium candles, desk organizers, fitness accessories, and gourmet food baskets.

Strategy Tips

Universal appeal beats inside jokes. Practical items get stolen more than novelty gifts. Quality presentation matters. Avoid offensive or too-personal gifts.
