"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

White Elephant (sometimes called Yankee Swap or Dirty Santa) is a holiday gift exchange where players draw numbers, choose a gift or “steal” a gift from a previous recipient. This game is a great way to involve people of all ages and genders at your holiday party—and have a little cheeky fun in the process. Typically, there’s also a set price point; for this guide, we’re rounding up White Elephant gifts under $100 to give you plenty of different options.

While some folks like to give gag gifts for this irreverent exchange, we prefer to choose items that people will actually use all year—and want to steal from others during the party (after all, that’s part of the fun). When it comes to the very best White Elephant holiday gifts, you should think about the vibe and crowd: Are you doing the exchange with your all-female book club, or will you be at your work holiday party? If it’s the latter, choose a gift that most people would enjoy (think: a cool desk calendar, wineglasses or an ultra-soft blanket).

From fun gadgets to festive decorations to beautiful objets d’art, here are the best White Elephant gifts under $100.
