We did your white elephant shopping for you

White elephant gift exchanges are the perfect blend of hilarity, surprise — and that awkward moment when you realize the gift you brought to the holiday party might accidentally end up back in your own hands, if you don’t play your cards right. But if you bring a gift that everyone wants, there’s no chance of that happening. And that’s why we’ve scoured the internet to bring you the gifts that are sure to steal the spotlight (and maybe a few laughs) at your next gathering.

Gone are the days of boring kitchen gadgets and re-gifted candles — this year, we’re embracing the unexpected and celebrating the weird, from tortilla-themed blankets that wrap you in a warm, carb-filled hug to plush figurines of your favorite celebs — or even Chia Pet versions.
