How to Host a Fun White Elephant Gift Exchange
It’s really easy to host a White Elephant Exchange at your Holiday Party or family event. What makes the game so fun is discovering what funny white elephant gifts guests bring and the surprise as you open them up.
Let your guest know their goal is to find the gift everyone will fight to win. However don’t put too much pressure on your family members or friends, it’s supposed to be fun.
This holiday game is sure to have everyone laughing and enjoying themselves. Plus it lets everyone go home with a fun gag gift.
Your really going to be shocked by the most randomly hilarious presents your guests find to share.
How to Play a White Elephant Gift Exchange
It’s really easy to play the white elephant game with a group of people.
Invite Friends – Send out an invite or Evite to ask Friends to come to the party
Set a Price Limit – Decide on how much everyone should spend on their white elephant gift to make sure all the gifts are even For instance $10, $20, $30. It’s supposed to just be a fun game for your Holiday party so it does not need to be expensive.
Ask All Your Guest to Bring a Gift – Ask everyone to bring a wrapped gift anonymously and place it on a table at the party wrapped.
Guests Draw a Number from a Hat – Have guests each draw a number to determine the order to pick the gifts.
Start Picking Your Gifts – Going in the order of your numbers the first player will choose a wrapped gift from the table.
The next person can either take a wrapped present or take a gift from someone who has already unwrapped a gift.
This is the best part deciding to take a gift that you know what you’ll get or taking a chance on an unwrapped new gift.
If your gift was taken you can then pick a wrapped gift off the table or from another guest but not back from the person who took your gift.
I would suggest implementing some white elephant gift rules like the three-swap rule where a gift can only be picked 3 times. This will keep your guests from fighting over the same gift the whole game.
Continue until everyone has opened a gift. This is the one game you’ll want to have the last turn because the last player has the best white elephant selection of gifts.
The next step now that you know how to play is to find the best White elephant gift ideas. The list below is split up with gifts for kids first and then gifts for adults.
