At our white elephant exchange, the most popular gift that is stolen is lottery scratchers. Not really funny though.

$20 gift card to Adam and Eve? They could make it as fun as they want

We're going to a Festivus party tonight and our grab bag gifts are a horse head mask and a camo beer holster with a six pack of keystone. In the past popular gifts have been a bra that holds a bottle of wine (like a camelpak but with wine!), a treasure chest of mini liquor bottles and condoms, a box of goodies with an inappropriate picture of one of our friends printed on it (pillow cases, mug, tea towels, etc.), a piƱata full of weird dollar store finds, and a collection of tshirts from Goodwill.

I've been doing a white elephant gift exchange at a holiday party for a few years now and I have brought a Justin Bieber toothbrush and Justin Bieber wrapping paper...both were huge hits (comically wise) as its so obviously not what adults want. Anything One Direction would work as well!

There has been a copy of the book Sex for One going around my staff white elephant exchange for the past 8 years or so now. It's perfect for what you need!

At our party last night I brought a movie gift card inside a 6 pack of beer, DH brought earrings he got on Amazon. The earrings were pretty funny because a guy got them. I took home a rooster for the kitchen, which has become kind of a joke in our group of friends. Lots of references to the "cock" in the kitchen, "my cock" etc. Because apparently we have the maturity of high schoolers .

But seriously, some of the best gifts at our wok one last night were:
There was a wrapped present that was obviously a plunger, so everyone avoided it, but it ended up having a Home Depot gift card taped to it
There was a 'Holiday Survial Kit', first thing opened was a package of adult diapers (size small which added to the hilarity) and then a 12 pack of beer
A lengerie store gift card - especially funny since out of 43 people playing, only 10 were women...

The favorites at our party were: a jumbo tub of popcorn, a boomerang (with the tag reading "Many happy returns"), a bacon bowl, and a bottle of bourbon.

@wrkbrk: right? I'm debating between being totally ridiculous or an option that isn't a complete waste of money.

DH got a giant tub of cheese poofs from Sams. It was a big hit a few years ago so he did it again this year. I got a calendar that had different pictures of bacon for each month. Also a hit Last year I did a ziplock bag with 4 AA batteries with a note that said gift not included. But these are all for a party with friends where we do a $5 limit, so they may not fit
