"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
There's something about a Dirty Santa gift swap that can get the blood pumping. The rules for this holiday gift-giving game (also known as White Elephant or a Yankee Swap) are simple: Set a dollar limit (or don't, because who said you had to follow the rules), bring the coolest gift, swap presents all around, and end up with the most lusted-after item. Plain and simple.
Here's the catch—finding the right present for these kinds of things isn't easy. First, who is your audience? Is it your buttoned-up colleagues or your closest friends? Are they tech-y? Or are you dealing with a bunch of movie nerds?
Only you know the vibe, so the final decision is yours. But to help you out, we rounded up our 41 favorite Dirty Santa gifts. From joke buys to legit home decor, this is what we'd get for everyone's favorite holiday game.
