Ideas you haven't already gotten - a nice bottle of wine and chocolates? A pair of cozy slippers, maybe a "relax" basket with bubble bath/bath salts, a scented candle, and an eye mask, or a Christmas decoration for the home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-elephant-gifts#post-2925578 Tue, 23 Nov 2021 11:27:34 +0000 josina 2925578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually give things I'd be happy to get back (and often will do so). </p> <p>Our limit is under $20 but here are some things I've given:<br /> A Contigo mug w/ fancy hot chocolate and/or m&amp;ms<br /> A Stocking cap for winter - CC, Luv your Melon, or Carhart<br /> A nice throw blanket<br /> A fun party game - I want to get Incohearant this year!<br /> His/Hers nice socks (assuming most people are couples) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-elephant-gifts#post-2925577 Tue, 23 Nov 2021 10:52:58 +0000 caitcat 2925577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tend to stick with consumable stuff, like sets of spices, hot sauces, honeys, tea/coffee/chai, popcorn, infused oil olives, etc. </p> <p>For a mixed-age group white elephant with extended family this year though, we're giving a small set of the tegu magnetic wooden blocks. My kids love playing with them, and I've found my husband absentmindedly building with them once the kids have gone to bed...so I figure it might appeal to multiple audiences. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-elephant-gifts#post-2925576 Tue, 23 Nov 2021 09:09:32 +0000 catgirl 2925576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So hard not knowing your crowd.

But here are some we have purchased or received that were hits and are $40 or under:</p> <p>Echo dot<br /> Yeti or similar water bottle or mug, typically would dump some candy in it.<br /> Catan or Ticket to Ride<br /> Peanut Butter Sampler from Uncommon goods<br /> City Bonfire S'mores Night Pack (or buy just the fire pit thing and put your own kit together)<br /> TOZO T6 True Wireless Earbuds Bluetooth Headphones<br /> Specialty hot sauce set<br /> Bliss Plush Throw from Nordstrom<br /> Bluetooth Karaoke Microphone<br /> Outdoor Inflatable Lounger<br /> Waterproof Bluetooth speaker </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-elephant-gifts#post-2925575 Tue, 23 Nov 2021 08:10:09 +0000 LadyDi 2925575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is your favorite white elephant gift?
