unique + useful white elephant gifts: a 2024 gift guide.
If you’re looking for the classic, gag gift type of white elephant gifts, this is not the gift guide for you. I repeat, this is NOT the gift guide for you. To me, there is no worse gift than a gag gift. These are actually unique and useful white elephant gifts under $20. Enjoy!
one: First up is this small, portable fire pit from a company called Radiate. It’s perfect for an off-the-cuff smores night. This has no embers, offers 3 hours of burn time, and fits right in your bag pre-festivities and one is only $14!
two: This little storage container/safe disguised as a soup can is funny and useful. We got this last year at a Christmas party and it was a hit! (And if you’re gifting it not for white elephant, it would be a fun way to gift cash to someone!)
three: Taylor and I play a card game all the time that only involves one deck of cards, and I think it would be hilarious to pull out this SUPER JUMBO sized deck of cards to play with (same with poker LOL).
four: A lifestraw is actually something that should be in everyones emergency kit or hiking bag. People might be puzzled when they open it, but to be able to drink water from anywhere is cool perk?
five: If you didn’t know, I am a lover of jumbo or mini things, so these jumbo farfalle pasta silicone pot holders are quirky and cute, but functional for any pasta lover.
six: This little fish lemon or lime slice juicer is cute and silly, making it a perfect white elephant gift or stocking stuffer!
seven: An Octobuddy is an adhesive mount that you put on the back of your phone which allows you to stick it ANYWHERE — on a cabinet to read a recipe, on your mirror, on your window, etc etc etc. Weird gift, but kinda cool right?
eight: This Cowboy Boot Match Striker is just so cutie to me and I feel like if I was seeing this during a white elephant game, I would want to steal it.
nine: I think and of the World’s Smallest Games are sooo funny and also you really can use them. A mini game of CLUE, anyone?
I hope you find an item here for any of your upcoming holiday parties!
