Wait, They Actually Fought Over These White Elephant Gifts?!

For 30 years, people at this workplace have been wrapping and rewrapping the same framed Elvis headshot. The rule? Whoever ends up with it has to sign the back and keep it in their office for a year. People try to disguise it in crazy ways, but the Elvis just keeps coming back.

One guy shows up with a cast iron skillet for the $25 limit. His wife thought it was lame, but little did she know - it became the most fought-over gift. Months later, the lucky winner bragged about how much they actually use it! Practical but loveable.

This book called "P is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Book Ever" somehow became a white elephant sensation. People seriously fought over it. One person was like, “It’s on Amazon, guys!” but nope, the battle was real.

Someone got a birthday gift of a cat-shaped gravy boat that literally looks like the cat is vomiting. Immature? Yes. But also hilarious! The gift was a total hot commodity at the next white elephant party as no one wanted to be stuck with it… except the generous owner.

At a family white elephant, a framed painting of a cat dressed in Victorian clothes sparked a battle among 30 people. Who knew a fancy kitty could cause so much drama?

One group did a “stuff from your house” gift swap. Last year's prized gems? A broken cuckoo clock and an old bowling ball in a vintage suitcase. Plus a chia zombie hand. You never know what the crowd will go wild for!

Imagine a white elephant full of people aged 45-85. The candy gift from a retro candy store had everyone swooning - Gold Rush sacks, Whoppers, Pez, Sweethearts - lots of nostalgic sugar dreams. Instant classic!

Someone actually gifted a cemetery plot in a ghost town. For about $10. That’s one heck of a conversation starter, or the ultimate last-move surprise. Talk about a 'dead'-on gift.

A tiny Frah-gee-lay lamp became the best desk accessory ever. Winner kept it on their office desk just to make everyone else jealous. Classic move.

An old lady brings a fancy thong from Victoria’s Secret and people (yes women AND men) fought hard over it. The kicker? Nobody knew it was hers because, well, she’s an old lady. Sneaky and hilarious.

Dad brings a Dr. Demento Christmas CD filled with hilarious holiday tunes. Every time someone snagged it, it just got stolen right back in the next round. This guy knew how to pick a gift!

Botanical-themed Lego sets win every time. Who knew fake plants made of blocks could make people go wild?

A remote weather station that told temps, pressure, wind, AND had alarms? Surprisingly awesome, and it became a favorite. Sometimes tech is the sneaky smartest gift!

Salt shakers shaped like pandas hugging on a leaf-shaped dish? Adorable and fought over. Who needs fancy when you’ve got panda love?

Imagine a firefighter calendar, but every face is swapped with family members. It was hilarious and a total hit. Proof that goofy homemade gifts can cause epic fights too.

A thrift-store Jesus shirt with a hilarious caption became the white elephant winner trophy. Drunken laughter and proud family eyes all around. Sometimes, $3 is all you need to win hearts.

In a white elephant where gifts were stolen before opening, a heavy, rectangular package got all the love. The surprise inside? A big old jar of pickles. Everyone wanted it just by the size and weight alone!

One dude’s houseplants were the prized pets of the office white elephant for three straight years. Everyone tried to claim them, and the guy grew his plant army from the swag. Green thumbs win!

Chopsticks that sparkle and light up? Instant party power. Clearly, the force was strong with this one.

Turns out, stuff you actually use but don’t wanna buy for yourself is pure gold. Knife sharpeners traded like trading cards, towel warmers caused friendly battles, and good flashlights were the unsung heroes. Practicality, but make it festive.

One year, a black high-heel-shaped tape dispenser became the crown jewel. A dude ended up with it and proudly showed it off on his desk day after day. Classy and classy-er.

One VP arrived with a cooler full of frozen, line-caught Alaskan salmon. When’s the last time your white elephant had something that fresh and fishy? Welcome to Boston, y’all.

A crockpot bundled with a blank recipe book was the gift everyone wanted to steal. Practicality meets party fun - guess people love cooking almost as much as stealing from friends!

Step in these unicorn slippers and *POW* lights flash like you’re some magical creature stepping into a disco. Instant party footwear hit.

A group of 21-year-olds made the party wild with a marshmallow Nerf gun and a bag of marshmallows. Sweet, sticky, and surprisingly competitive.
