White elephant Christmas gifts are a wonderful and cheap way to exchange gifts during the holidays. White elephant Christmas gifts may be given at office parties, to friends and family or even to loved ones. While not everyone will appreciate a white elephant Christmas gift, many in fact do, because it is unique and not the same socks and underwear one expects at Christmas.

We've put together some white elephant Christmas gift ideas so that you can give the gift of laughter this holiday season. White elephant Christmas gifts give the holiday season a humorous flavor, so taste what we have in store.

White Elephant

If you happen to be wealthy and have wealthy friend or loved one who literally has everything, then why not buy them a white elephant. You may go to the trouble to import this albino elephant from Africa or India or just import a regular elephant and give it a paint job. Nothing says "unique" and Christmas time like receiving a pale pachyderm packed to perfection.

Velvet Elvis

No white elephant Christmas gift will get a bigger groan that a painting of Elvis Presley on velvet. Perhaps you can even include a CD of Elvis singing "Viva Las Vegas" along with the painting. Nothing says "fine art" like velvet.

Dogs Playing Poker Painting

To continue with the fine art theme, the "Dogs Playing Poker" painting is a classic. You can still buy these online or find them at fine thrift shops everywhere. Nothing says, "you're special" like dogs playing poker.

Hula Girl Lamp

At the top of the tasteless and tackiness scale is the hula girl lamp. This can be found at many thrift or antique stores still. Pick a friend or loved one who is into modern home decorating styles and present them with this white elephant Christmas gift during the holidays. It's sure to get a hoot.

Popeils Pocket Fisherman

Still available online and through eBay, the Popeils Pocket Fisherman is a classic white elephant Christmas gift that is sure to get a grin. Throw in a few Ginsui Knives and a Veg-O-Matic and you'll be in retro heaven, my friend.

Not matter what white elephant Christmas gifts you intend to pass out this holiday season, be sure that you pick a most appreciative recipient for the gift. Not everyone appreciates white elephant Christmas gifts so picking the person is as important as picking the gift.
