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

A White Elephant gift exchange can go so many ways. First, you have to find the perfect present to delight your friends, horrify your family, and prank your colleagues. Then, there's the actual gift-stealing chaos and the excitement of what you'll ultimately go home with. If that makes you skeptical, trust that it's FUN.

For those who haven't had the pleasure, White Elephant is a holiday game in which everyone brings a gift—usually with a designated price limit. The gifts are usually a little bit off-color, though not always.

But it's not another game of Secret Santa. Instead, White Elephant kicks off with someone picking a present at random.

From there, everyone has the option to steal a gift that's already been opened or pick a new one. Whether or not you're able to steal gifts back is a very important distinction to make before the situation turns competitive and you end up with a bunch of Grinches on your hands.

Ready to steal your way to a happy holiday season? We curated a list of the 57 best White Elephant gifts you can shop right now that are affordable, fun, and unique.

No game-killing iPods a la Michael Scott in The Office included.
