9 White Elephant Gifts People Will Actually Fight Over

Every year, the prospect of the dreaded white elephant gift exchange brings to mind that episode of The Office wherein Michael Scott brings an iPod (haha what’s an iPod, am I right?) and chaos ensues. Even without an iPod in the mix, there’s always one gift everyone tries to diabolically scheme away from supposed loved ones. Seriously, how is this a holiday game? It’s designed for people who like to watch the world burn. But since there’s a 95% chance you’re going to attend a white elephant gift exchange this year—a number we arrived at in a completely scientific and not-made-up manner—we rounded up nine gifts to bring. We know gift giving is “not a competition” but bring one of these and you’ll totally win.
