What makes a good white elephant gift
It should be funny on sight, useful enough that the winner keeps it, and universal enough that anyone in the room could end up with it. A pair of pickle socks checks all three. So does a mug that announces you are not the office IT person, no matter how many times you get asked.
Food socks are the safe bet
Pizza, pickles, bagels and junk food are the white elephant classics because everyone gets the joke. They fit a wide adult size range, and nobody has to guess a shirt size.
Questions
What is a good white elephant gift under $20?
Something funny that still gets used. Novelty food socks, like pickle or pizza socks, and snarky mugs are reliable picks because they get a laugh at the party and a spot in the drawer afterward.
Is shipping included?
Yes. Shipping is free on every US order, so a $14.99 pair of socks stays under the $20 limit.
How long does it take to arrive?
Each item is printed when you order it. Allow 2 to 5 business days to make it and 3 to 7 business days to ship, so order at least two weeks before the party.
