White Elephant, Yankee Swap or Secret Santa gifts (a.k.a. Kris Kringle in some circles) is utterly dedicated to the cause of fun, and it is a simple way for family members, a group of friends, or co-workers to exchange gifts at Christmas.
Everyone knows that gift giving does not have to obey any rules. White elephant gifts are always off the wall, even if they may not have an entirely functional purpose. Everyone also knows that gifts that are intriguing and hilarious are hard to find. However, you are in luck. This list counts down 66 of the funniest white elephant gifts the internet has to offer. What do you have in mind for the next Yankee swap?
Big Head Squirrel Feeder – $$
The first item on our list is this funny squirrel feeder. When squirrels use this feeder, they look as though they have a ginormous head. Hang this in a location where it can be seen using the holes provided and have a laugh. This gift is perfect for bird watchers and wild animal enthusiasts.
Inflatable Unicorn Horn for Cats – $
This is one of the most amusing gifts you can get for any cat lover. This inflatable unicorn horn is made of high-quality vinyl and has a 4-point elastic strap to ensure it stays on your pet. Watch your cat with this horn for hours of entertainment.
Farting Coin Bank – $$
This is the perfect white elephant fun for Sassy Santa. This small coin back is shaped like someone pulling their pants down. Every time a coin is inserted, the user hears what sounds exactly like a fart. This item comes with batteries and makes for an interesting way to save all those different coins.
Yodeling Christmas Pickle – $$
Since the holidays are coming up fast, this item is perfect for anyone’s tree. This ornament is motion activated, causing this pickle to yodel to any unsuspecting passerby. The sensors range is three feet, making it almost impossible to pass by without starting the yodeling. Don’t worry, though. There is an on and off switch.
Bag of Unicorn Farts – $$
This is a simple gift that will guarantee giggles every time someone sees it. All it contains is cotton candy, but the name alone gives it a spot on this list. The cotton candy is reported to have an amazing flavor, and the best part it: 10% of all profits from this company goes to charity. Make someone laugh and help support a cause all in one go!
Word Search Shower Curtain – $$
This is actually a useful gift, as shower curtains are always nice to have on hand. The thing about this one that makes it on this list is the word search that comes on it. Give someone the ability to solve the word search as they wash in the shower! It will look very amusing when guests come over and see a completed word search in the shower.
Bacon Toothpaste – $
Just when you thought that bacon flavored items couldn’t get more diverse, you find this: bacon flavored toothpaste. The description of this item states that this will ‘leave breath meaty instead of minty.’ That line is enough to set it on this list.
Coonhound Christmas Pillow Case – $
This is one of the more amusing pillow cases online. It is Christmas themed, making it perfect for the holiday season coming up soon. Displayed on both sides of the pillow case is the words ‘Feliz Naughty Dog’. After Christmas is over, what do you do with this?
Naughty Pig Salt and Pepper Shakers – $$
This item is a little off the wall… With these salt and pepper shakers, you will either hear silent snickers from those who look at them or make some folks a little uncomfortable. Just remember, know your audience before giving these to someone as a gift.
Emergency Underpants – $
These are kind of funny… and kind of wrong. These underpants are presented in a retro tin and made of 100% polyester. Hopefully, these will never come in handy, but at least they will be on hand in case of… problems.
Blah Button – $
This may be one of the funniest items on this list. This is perfect for anyone who endures long, boring conversations. The button, when pressed, cycles through 12 different unique blah phrases, each one in different vocal tones and styles. Remember not to use this one on your boss!
Telescopic Spoon – $
This seems like a far-reaching spoon. It is made of stainless steel and is reputed to be good quality and extremely durable. However, one of the main questions is this: why do you need a spoon that extends so far? With this in mind, it would make a great white elephant gift for anyone you know.
Jesus Bobblehead – $$
This one is pretty amusing. It features religious icon, Jesus, like a bobble head. You can easily give this gift to anyone, as it can sit on dashboards, desktops, nightstands, and any other place that has a flat surface.
Dog Butt Magnets – $$
Imagine this scene: Someone wakes up after a nap and heads to their fridge for a snack or a drink. As they reach for the handle, they look up and see five different dog butts face them. This set of magnets includes five different dog butt refrigerator magnets and one magnet shaped like a fire hydrant. Anyone who receives this gift will thank you everytime they see their fridge door.
Weener Kleener Soap – $
This one is hilarious by name alone, let alone application. The name says it all. This is definitely designed for those dirty-minded individuals, but no one can help but laugh when they hear this products name. This is perfect for bachelors of any age.
Ranch Floss – $
This item is similar to the previous bacon toothpaste. It acts just like regular floss but has an impressive ranch flavor instead of the typical mint most of us like. Break the mold and get this for one of your friends… preferably the one who likes ranch on his pizza.
Canned Unicorn Meat – $$
Now this is one of the funniest white elephant exchange item found online. Imagine the look on someone’s face when they unwrap this gem. Now the only real question is this: is it actually edible? And if you actually decide it is, will you poop rainbows?
Pizza Scented Cologne – $$
Do you know anyone who absolutely loves perfume or pizza? This item combines the two and creates a scented solution that smells like pizza. Give this to the people you love this holiday season and watch their looks of confusion.
Jar of Nothing – $$
Remember that time you asked someone what they wanted as a gift, and they responded with ‘nothing’? Well, luckily this white elephant gift is available for them. This jar of nothing will stand out amongst everything else they may get. After all, it is what they wanted.
Fake Poo Soap – $$
There it is… something shaped like poo. This soap actually smells good according to most customers, even if it really does look utterly disgusting. Pair it with something nice, like maybe a roll of toilet paper, and give this to a friend. Don’t forget to record their reaction for the internet!
Roman Helmet Hat – $$
This helmet looks pretty good, especially when you look carefully and notice that it is hand knitted. This knitted hat is warm and kind of cool looking, but how many places will you be able to wear this at and blend in? This is a great white elephant gift for gamers and cosplayers alike.
Mooning Gnome – $$
Gnomes are widely considered a cool white elephant gift on their own. They are cute, but really only fit in their own theme. This particular ‘species’ of Gnome takes that even farther. This cute little garden gnome can easily be gifted to the green thumb you know, making a unique addition to their garden.
Gigantic Beach Ball – $$
Now this is a real deal. This massive beach ball is definitely huge. The diameter of this ball measures 12 feet, making it the largest beach ball most of us have ever seen. Give this gift with caution, though, as blowing it up indoors may not be such a good idea.
False Teeth Soap – $
Now this one is kind of interesting. This product is made of classic soap, but so artfully done that it looks like a set of dentures. With its shape and texture, it can be a bit difficult to use in the beginning, but once you wear it down a bit, it will work just like any bar of soap.
Ray Gun Sculpture – $$$
The ray gun sculpture is really cool and would make a great gift for art enthusiasts. However, if you are not into art, then this piece can be a fascinating, if useless, a centerpiece for a table… or on a bookshelf… and maybe an unusual white elephant gift for someone you know.
Magnetic Putty – $$
This one is a creative white elephant gift and it is kind of cool. This magnetic putty is made with micron-sized iron shavings, making it… magnetic. Putty is fun to play with, but this is even more interesting to play with. Give this putty to someone who is deserving of a white elephant gift this year.
Math Formula Tie – $$
Math is not always someone’s favorite subject, so unless you teach math or work as an engineer, this tie may not find its way into your top ten work tie list. However, some would really get a kick out of this smart white elephant gift.
Shark Socks – $$
As we know, attire is everything. Imagine yourself slipping on a pair of smart slacks to go with your favorite shirt, and then slipping on your favorite pair of…. shark socks? While these socks may not go with your favorite outfit, they definitely give it an added bite.
Yoga Joes – $$
You may remember playing with traditional green army men when you were a kid. Now take that concept and apply it to yoga. Instead of army men hold guns and rocket launchers, these servicemen are demonstrating favorite yoga positions.
Wooden Bow Tie – $$
Not too many people out there wear bow ties in the present day. Add in the fact that this particular bow tie is made from walnut wood, and you have a perfect example of something that doesn’t have a broad range of uses. All you have to do is give this to someone you know, like maybe a professor or instructor, and you have a prime example of a white elephant gift.
Bottle Stopper – $
The name listed seems innocent enough, but the product is far more humorous. This bottle stopper involves a hard plastic… a piece that fits inside the bottle, keeping the contents of the bottle from escaping. Not quite your grandmother’s bottle stopper.
The Bikini Scarf – $$
Scarves are perfect for the winter. They keep you warm and protected. This particular one is listed here as a white elephant gift because the bottom edges of this scarf show both sides of a bikini top. This scarf may be inappropriate to wear during some occasions.
Thumb Wrestling Ring – $
Remember how thumb wrestling was a thing when you were younger? Well, find one of your old thumb wrestling buddies and give them this plastic wrestling ring. You two can thumb wrestle for hours while feeling even more official than you did back in the day.
Remote Control Flying F*ck – $$
Everyone has had that moment: something happens, and you can’t bring yourself to give a flying f***. For the person in your life that has those moments often, now there is no need for them to express themselves verbally. This remote control product has helicopter blades and moves just like one, but it definitely isn’t a helicopter.
Silk Suitjamas – $$
Yes, you read that correctly. There is nothing like keeping your suit on, even when it comes to bed time… right? These silk pajamas are designed to look just like your everyday work suit. These are a perfect gift for the oblivious workaholic in your life.
Titanic Ice Tray – $
Everyone enjoys ice in drinks. However, sometimes the theme of the ice trays can be a little bizarre. This ice tray molds frozen water to look like the Titanic. This white elephant gift is ideal for those who like having the Titanic sink in their very own drink.
Fire Extinguisher Lighter – $
This stuff has a hint of amusing irony in it. This butane lighter is refillable for easy reuse. It is also very amusing watching someone light their cigarette or cigar with a fire extinguisher.
Carstache – $$
The car stache is one of the most useless but funny items ever, and here is why: This giant mustache attaches to your car, fitting right above the license plate. It attaches there with two rubber pieces and stays securely in place as you drive around. Who wouldn’t want one?
Unicorn Mask – $$
This mask is actually really creepy. It may work for Halloween, but overall, not many would want to wear this out in public. Imagine giving this mask to someone for a gift… definitely, a white elephant gift if there ever was one.
Sexy Apron – $
The sexy apron is not meant for anyone under the age of 18. This apron has two plush breasts on top of a risque female figure. This design is really creative, but not something to wear during the family barbecue.
Ice Cream Door Stop – $$
Surprisingly, this plastic door stop actually looks incredibly realistic. Any ice cream lover would love (or hate) to have this door stop. Who wouldn’t want to have a dropped ice cream cone holding your door open during the summer?
Unicorn Hand Puppet Set – $$
Unicorns are very popular when it comes to white elephant gifts, it seems. This is literally exactly what it seems: a hand puppet. It comes with four feet and head, each to be positioned on the hand just right to make it look like a full unicorn. This set also comes with rainbow ‘unicorn poo’ candy and a sticker!
Tampon Flasks – $$
Some flask ideas are unique and crafty. Others, like this one here, are not really all that thought out. How do you say you would look if you were caught drinking out of a tampon? Ah, the looks you would receive.
Sushi Socks – $$
Socks can be some of the most random things to give during gift giving occasions. Usually, the patterns are funky, cool, or creative. Some simply… are not. These sushi socks are definitely unique but don’t expect them to go with anything you own.
Cracked Screen Sticker – $
These stickers really look like a realistic break on your phone’s screen. It is an interesting item for pranking, but many give these as a gift, as well. It is another good example of a white elephant gift.
Bubble Wrap Keychain – $$
Keychains can be a neat little gift to receive. However, sometimes the keychain is a little much, as this bubble wrap keychain. It is labeled as a stress reliever, but it also comes equipped with sounds like a click, a doorbell, and many others.
Dusting Slippers – $$
These slippers are the perfect gift for that lazy friend who can’t seem to sweep their own floor. Giving these as a gift can be a practical choice, but for other aspects of gift giving, some may be surprised. After all, who wouldn’t want to get these as a gift?
Desk Vaccum – $$
This is a functioning tiny little vacuum that is designed for nothing more than cleaning your office. This is a perfect white elephant gift for someone who works at a desk or someone who likes munching while working on a computer. Those crumbs can be a real menace, you know?
Pet Rock – $$
Most people remember the pet rock craze back in the ’80’s. Well, now you can give that special someone in your life their very own pet rock! This particular set comes with a pet rock, a bed for your new pet, as well as a walking leash.
Full Body Spandex Suit – $$
A full body spandex suit is useful for… something? I honestly don’t know what you would need this item for, but someone somewhere has found a reason for this. This item as a white elephant gift has to be one of the most interesting concepts ever.
Bacon Shaped Bandages – $
Now, I know that there is someone out there who would love to have this particular bandage design. However, I also know quite a few others who would give you a funny look and wonder “What am I going to do with this?” At least they will be on hand if they run out of their usual bandages.
$100 Bill Toilet Paper – $
This toilet roll will actually work as a confidence builder since not everyone can wipe with $100 bills. On the other hand, however, anyone who uses that bathroom will wonder why that particular type of toilet paper is available. But, hey! It’s three-ply.
Waffle Scented Necklace – $$
Give this gift to the foodie you know. When they wear this necklace, they can smell exactly like a waffle with butter and maple syrup. Everyone should have something like this… right?
Carrot Pillow – $$
Everyone should own one of these unique pillows. After a long, hard day at work, there is nothing like taking your shoes off and curling up with a stuffed carrot. That even sounds like heaven!
The Unicorn Onesie – $$
This is really another example of a unique white elephant gift for Christmas. Imagine giving this to someone. They are a unicorn one piece suit, complete with the feet. It is soft, warm, and kind of cute to look at. So what if you are in your 30’s?
Bacon and Eggs Christmas Ornament – $$
There are quite a few people who give ornaments to others for Christmas as a sign of creating memories. However, this particular ornament pulls away from the traditional style of decorations. Everyone wants bacon and eggs on their tree!
Temporary Watch Tattoos – $$
Temporary tattoos are really popular, especially for kids. They come in a large variety, like dragonflies, dragons, skulls, hummingbirds, and… watches? While temporary tattoos can be cool, some are really just useless and not very fun.
Egg Rug – $$
Rugs make a beautiful addition to any room. They can also add a little flair to a dull area. However, some of them are not meant to be in any space where people are going to be seeing on a semi-regular basis. This egg rug is kind of cute, but you probably wouldn’t want this as a welcome mat.
Shadow Puppets – $$
Shadow puppets can be really cool. Yet, if you receive these as a gift, you may be wondering to yourself when you will have the time to throw that shadow play for yourself and others. You will also be wondering when you decided that was something you wanted to do.
Life Size Inflatable Elephant – $$$
Imagine receiving this life-sized elephant as a gift. What would you do? I would probably wonder not only what I should do with it, but also begin contemplating where to put it. Who knows, though. It may come in handy for the next children’s birthday party!
Pizza Bed Set – $$$
Foodies everywhere would love receiving this bed set as a gift for any occasion. It comes with everything you will ever need for your bed, even red pepper and parmesan pillow cases. Let’s just hope that it doesn’t smell like a pizza, as well.
Star Wars Jelly Bean Dispenser – $$
Jelly beans are really amazing. Everyone has a favorite flavor, and Star Wars is one of the most popular sagas known. This jelly bean dispenser is kind of a hard to place item, so unless you have a Star Wars theme through your house, it may not fit. You can always give one to someone else, though!
Boob Mug – $$
This is one of those items you have to wonder about. This is not something I would want around my cupboards, and I know some people who would feel a little nervous seeing this on a countertop. Yet, you can bet that it will also earn some chuckles.
Bacon Flavored Exploding Candy – $
Why is everything coming in a bacon flavor nowadays? Not only can you get bacon toothpaste and bacon shaped bandages, but now you can even have your candy taste like the bacon you are addicted to. This is a white elephant gift if you don’t like bacon.
Mac and Cheese Earrings – $
Everyone wants a set of earrings that feature America’s favorite food, macaroni, and cheese. These earrings look very elegant until you look closely. Then, you may start flashbacking to your childhood, or maybe college.
Light Up Pasties – $$
This is the white elephant gift you should never give. If you have received this gift at a gift exchange, at least you have a story to tell your friends after a few martinis. However, it has to be noted that this gift can get a lot of giggles, just be aware of who you give this item to.
Now we have finally reached the end of this list. This list of 66 white elephant gifts contains some of the most fun options available on the market. Hopefully, you found a gift for everyone you know, whether they are into the hopelessly funny or the possibly inappropriate.
