Hysterical Answers to the Question, “What’s the Worst White Elephant Gift You’ve Ever Gotten?”
A white elephant gift exchange, Yankee swap or Dirty Santa is a party game where amusing and impractical gifts are exchanged. The goal of a white elephant gift exchange is to entertain rather than give or receive a genuinely nice gift. I’m sharing some of the most hysterical worst white elephant gift ideas that people have actually received so prepare for a jolly good time.
Food and Wine Magazine asked readers to share the absolutely worst, most horrible, embarrassing, weird, over-the-top white elephant gifts they received and people did not hold back!
Here are some of the best!
Squatty Potty…..search it and be appalled. 😮😮
Pickled bologna rope. 🤢
Frozen dead squirrel that one of my friend’s dad’s got while hunting. 🤢
A huge turnip!
A spiral notebook that had already been written in.
A “bird bath” made with a toilet plunger.
Used breast pump,. I didn’t have any kids.
A can of expired sardines. 😆
An 8-pound salami in the shape of a life-sized football.
Single roll of toilet paper and small bottle of lotion. Scarred me for life against white elephant parties. No thanks.
I couldn’t go to the party but I heard about it later. A friend received a hamster- opened a box to a small cage with a LIVE hamster- she cursed – it was a CHURCH party!! I would have thrown it across the room!! 🤣😲
