White Elephant Ideas
 
What is the craziest, funniest white elephant gift that you have ever seen or received?

This party is for teens, but all ideas are welcome...

For those of you who don't know what a white elephant gift is, it is something that is from around the house, it costs no money, but imagination is always a plus!

Millionaire Seeds. :D

Make them yourself by painting green dollar signs on dry white (great northern) beans.

Throw them in a ziploc bag with this written on a label and attached to the bag.

Millionaire Seeds
Money Tree Starter Kit

Plant seeds with dollar sign up, in fertile soil.
If you plant the seed wrong, the tree will grow upside down.

For best results, shout "I WANT TO BE A MILLIONAIRE" while watering.

No fabulous ideas but this is how you unload the gift from 5 yrs ago hidden in the basement.
A vase, picture frame, still unwrapped DVD you've never viewed, that itchy scarf a relative sent you----------not that I have any of these tucked away--------:ursofunny


Re-gifting at its finest! :nah

What about this one? (FOUND ONLINE)
My brother (the joker in the family), took a close up 8X10 picture of his face and then he autographed it. It was framed and was a big hit. The next year, that picture came back on a t-shirt!

Ideas found online:

Set of batteries with a tag reading "toy not included."

Home-Made Electric Dishwasher and Dryer: Duct tape an extension cord to a dish cloth and hand towel.

Hillbilly Briefcase: Sew the legs closed on a large pair of men’s underwear. Cut two "handles" out of cardboard and glue them inside the band of the underwear.

Snowman Poop: Put some mini marshmallows in a zip-lock baggy with the following note, "This party is fun, but here's the scoop. I was a cheap gift giver so all you get is snowman's poop!" (Could also use chocolate covered peanuts or raisins and rename it "Reindeer Poop". )

A Box of chocolates, with one or two pieces missing-- and include a photo inside the box-- of the gift giver putting a piece of the candy in their mouth. :D

This must be why I have this little bag of beans. I saved them because it is so funny. Now I remember! It was a White Elephant gift! :toofunny

Place White Lima beans in a small zip lock bag. Attach these instructions:

Magic Weight Loss Beans

Instructions:

1. Remove beans from bag.

2. Throw them on the floor.

3. Bend down and pick up each bean.

4. Repeat hourly as needed.
