White elephant gifts

Yes, I'm totally a Debbie Downer because I would rather put resources into the kids than waste time and money on a stupid adult gift exchange game.

Yea, that was kind of the point I was making

Truckstop gift basket...drop 5$/worth of quarters into the vending machines you would find a truck stop. Cologne, condoms, tampons, pain killers...etc

After reading this post, I have the sneaking suspicion that you may star in the movie "Hobo with a Shotgun". That last sentence made my head hurt.

$50 buys a Amazon Fire Tab, but if your family is as miserable as LCs I guess it doesn't fit. Christmas sweaters for that family.

I guess I don't see what was wrong with LC's post in this thread. I guess I have understood the idea of a"white elephant" gift as something that is tacky, serves little to no purpose other than to collect dust, a gag type gift etc.

The items suggested in the OP didn't scream "white elephant" to me. Those would be fine suggestions in a gift exchange however, with the element of being able to swap similar to a white elephant exchange.

I didn't read the thread, but go get a 50$ gift card and either don't put any money on it or use all the money off it before giving it away.
