How to bring a gift people steal
- Buy for the whole room. Anyone could end up with it, so pick something most people would be happy to take home.
- Funny is good. Useless isn't. A game or gadget people laugh at and then actually use tends to get stolen more than a pure gag.
- Wrap it well. Until it's opened, the wrapping is all anyone has to go on.
- Stay near the limit. Gifts get compared side by side, so sticking close to the agreed amount keeps the game fair.

How does a white elephant gift exchange work?
Everyone brings one wrapped gift and draws a number. On your turn, you either open a new gift or steal one that's already been opened. Most groups cap how many times a gift can be stolen, and don't let you steal a gift straight back.
What is a good white elephant gift?
Something most people would be happy to take home, with a bit of fun to it: a party game, a clever gadget, a popular tumbler or a cozy throw. We'd skip pure gag gifts.
Does GiftList run white elephant exchanges?
No. GiftList does not host white elephant swaps. You play in person or on a video call, and our free gift exchange rules generator helps you agree the rules before you start.
