This will make a funny gift if you are playing White Elephant at a Christmas Party. What better way to get a laugh from everyone one by including a stuffed animal of the same name as part of the batch of presents for the game? No one is too old to own an adorable stuffed animal. Am I right?

If you are hosting a Christmas Party and plan on having a White Elephant Gift Exchange, be sure, to include a few “Prank Gifts” amongst the presents. “Prank Gifts” can be the most random stuff you can find/purchase anywhere or in your own home.
This type of presents should be the most random items that’ll have people dying of laughter and/or going “WTF?” Ideas for “Prank Gifts” include an avocado, wrapping up a shoebox with nothing inside of it, or putting a bunch of small boxes into a big box so the person opening has to keep opening up it up one by one to find the gift, to name a few.
Just make sure whoever opens up a prank gift gets another turn to get a real present.
