Under-$50 White Elephant Gifts No One Will Want to Trade

On the hunt for the best White Elephant gifts that no one will want to trade? Are you also using this as an excuse to secretly purchase extra presents for yourself? After all, it's the most wonderful time of the year and that requires major celebration. So instead of being that person who puts in a gift card or something too gimmicky and unusable (like a small appliance too niche that it can only do one thing), do your squad a solid this year by wrapping up a White Elephant gift worth fighting for.

Also known as a Yankee Swap or Dirty Santa, the rules are simple. Every participant brings a present to exchange and everyone goes around choosing a random, unopened gift from the pile. The only catch is that people can also steal any of the already-opened gifts from those who picked before them and that's what makes the game so interesting. Usually, presents aren't allowed to be stolen more than three times and soon enough, there's always a war for that one standout gift. Let that battle be around your exchange gift!
