It’s White Elephant season, and if you’ve just been invited to one, you’re now scrambling to come up with some ideas for the assigned price point. I personally love White Elephant parties where re-gifts and silly items are included, but I’ve been invited to several where “nice” items are the goal with a set price point. I try to focus on consumables or products that are sustainable as I think those make the best White Elephant Gifts and most of us certainly don’t need more “stuff.” However, White Elephant presents a great opportunity to try some new things, or better yet bring something that invokes nostalgia with your guests. Here are some White Elephant gift ideas in various ranges that you can get on Amazon quickly and stress-free.
