The White Elephant Christmas Gift exchange game can be very entertaining at most Christmas parties.  Whether it's for your sorority, youth group, college group, neighborhood party, family or a group of friends, it's sure to be quite amusing.  This article offers several gift suggestions for the White Elephant Christmas (or "Dirty Santa") gift exchange game.

White Elephant Christmas Gag Gift Idea #1:  Memento T-Shirt

Grab an old white t-shirt, a sharpie marker and right something like "I went to a Christmas party and this is all I got."  It's funny and cheap. 

White Elephant Christmas Gag Gift Idea #2:  Old Used Toy

One excellent idea for a white elephant Christmas gift idea is to go to a thrift store and pick out an old used toy.  It could be a hit for guests who are parents.  One clever idea is to get on eBay and buy a toy that was popular when you were a kid, but they don't sell them now.  (One idea is a pogo ball.)

White Elephant Christmas Gag Gift Idea #3:  An Assortment of "Cream of" Soups with Recipe Ideas

For this gift, purchase about 10 cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soups.  Put it in a nice box and add some recipe ideas.  If you need some recipes, read "5 Great Casserole Recipes for Potlucks."  You also might try "5 More Great Casseroles for Potlucks."

White Elephant Christmas Gag Gift Idea #4: A Collection of Used Gift Bags

White Elephant Christmas Gag Gift Idea #10: A Half Empty Bottle of Mouthwash

This is a funny cheap gift!

White Elephant Christmas Gag Gift Idea #11: Firefly Cage

White Elephant Christmas Gag Gift Idea #12: Silly Socks

Buy a pair or two of cute socks.  You can find them at Old Navy, Walmart and other stores.  You can find them with butterflies, frogs, etc.

This will probably be the gift that everyone tries to steal and fight over!  Wrap it in ugly wrapping paper, like a big brown paper bag, sealed together with duct tape.

Go through the kitchen section of your local Wal-Mart or Target and pick out whatever gadget you think would be the most unusual.  This could be a very practical gift for someone!
