You thought finding the right Secret Santa gift was tough? Try hunting for the perfect White Elephant treasure! For those who don’t know, White Elephant is like the ultimate parody of Secret Santa: just bring in the weirdest, quirkiest piece of ridiculous nothing you can find. My personal rule is no more than $10 – cheap, hilarious and memorable.
Though it can be difficult to find the perfect gag gift, don’t fret! Urban Outfitters, Toy Joy, Uncommon Goods, even University Health Services, and I have you covered.
