White Elephant Gift Ideas Under $25 That Actually Get Laughs

A great white elephant gift does two things: it gets a big laugh when it's opened, and then people actually try to steal it. The worst gifts are the ones that are only funny for five seconds. Here are our picks that hit both, all for $25 or less.

1. The Tin Foil Hat Beanie

Our Tin Foil Hat Beanie is a shiny silver beanie that looks just like the real thing, except it's warm and wearable. Someone will put it on immediately. Guaranteed.

2. A funny BBQ or kitchen apron

Aprons are the sneaky-perfect white elephant gift: hilarious when unwrapped, genuinely useful afterward. Pick something cheeky from our funny BBQ aprons or our sassy women's aprons like I've Got A Big Ass Grill.

3. A funny car decal

Vinyl car decals are cheap, small and easy to wrap. Funny windshield banners and window stickers are a great "who's going to be brave enough to put this on their car" gift. Browse car decals.

4. The Green Alien Head Beanie

For the office alien enthusiast, the Green Alien Head Beanie pairs perfectly with the tin foil hat if you want to go all in.

5. A motivational wall decal (ironically or not)

Inspirational quotes are a fun swap gift, especially in an office. Check out our gym and motivational wall decals.

White elephant tips

  • Stick to the price limit. Everything above is $25 or under.
  • Know your crowd. Keep the rude aprons for friends, not the work party.
  • Order early in December since many of our items are made to order.
