More acceptable favorites are usually good quality tea, coffee, or chocolate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-white-elephant-gift#post-2656219 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 21:54:26 +0000 LibbyLou 2656219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours was "animal" theme but I got ceramic owl measuring spoons from Etsy that I love to this day. And an owl bottle opener that is way nicer than what I own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-white-elephant-gift#post-2656217 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 21:48:26 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2656217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite gift for stuff like this is something small from the bins in Sephora. You can get something luxurious in a small size. Not just the bins but they're a good start. I also saw a really nice Josie Maran set there just today for $24! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-white-elephant-gift#post-2656211 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 21:41:14 +0000 DesertDreams88 2656211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like all the above ideas, as well as a chocolates gift basket, and recipes-in-a-jar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-white-elephant-gift#post-2656193 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 20:38:52 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2656193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're doing this with friends this year. I got a seasonal gift: tea towels, hand towels (Christmas/winter themed), hot chocolate, and two reindeer mugs. I initially had picked up a seasonal soap dispenser. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-white-elephant-gift#post-2656192 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 20:34:39 +0000 autumnleaves 2656192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friends do this and we are always stealing scarves and jewelry. Usually there are a few gift cards that are popular too. Some of my friends love Christmas decor as gifts too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-white-elephant-gift#post-2656190 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 20:31:00 +0000 LCTBQE 2656190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a beautiful cookbook that's pretty user-friendly, maybe Jerusalem or Smitten Kitchen? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-white-elephant-gift#post-2656189 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 20:27:07 +0000 erinbaderin 2656189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peaches1038: It might have been my first thought because I'm thinking about going tomorrow to buy it.... :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-white-elephant-gift#post-2656187 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 20:22:58 +0000 peaches1038 2656187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: I want that scarf for myself!! Great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-white-elephant-gift#post-2656185 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 20:17:18 +0000 erinbaderin 2656185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those are all great gifts - your office is a lot more creative than mine! My first thought was one of these scarves, they're over budget at full price but Gap has sales constantly: <a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1025507&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=243097032" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1025507&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=243097032</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-white-elephant-gift#post-2656180 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 20:05:05 +0000 peaches1038 2656180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So our clinic does a white elephant party every year for the holidays. The limit is $25 and it's 95% women ranging from early 30s to mid 60s. The last 3 gifts I gave were a succulent plant, a bottle of wine and a honey sampler from a local farm. Gift cards are allowed but discouraged.<br /> What's your favorite white elephant gift to give or receive? </p>
