White Elephant

Everyone who’s been to a white elephant party knows that although the gifts aren’t always intrinsically valuable, the funniness/goofiness/oddness of the gifts makes the experience of the exchange valuable, and often times people find value in things other people don’t. Mind you some gifts at these kinds of exchanges are still quite dumb, or useless. 

It really goes back to the phrase “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”, and “value is in the eye of the beholder”. Preferences are different between different people, and I believe this game challenges what value can be to a certain extent.

People are unique obviously and so are their senses of humor, and their creativity for gifts, and not only does that come out at Christmas as people shop for loved ones it also comes out at white elephant parties. White elephant parties mean you can show your own personality in the gift you give, and enjoy seeing how it’s received.
