Need a great gag White Elephant gift idea

[MouseJunkie]

After far too many candles and bath soaps/lotions, I just put cash in last year. It was a hit. Shoot I fought for it back because there's rarely anything I really wanted anyway.

As a joke, I was thinking about putting in "The clapper". It's kind of a running joke in our family anyway. This is going to sound really bad, but my grandma only had one arm and we we're talking about what to get her one year and someone suggested the clapper. It was all we could do not do laugh ourselves to hysterics. Poor grandma....she laughed too. So, I guess it's okay.

That is hilarious!!

Every year someone returns the pint of Four Roses and the bottle of coctail onions they got the year before. This gift is over 20year old. We recirculated a very large ceramic dog for several years. Find a really bad gift you got last year and take it back for a regift. Always a hit.

On www.calendars.com you can get a Poo calendar. Each month has dog poo in different settings, on a railroad track, near a stream, at a mountain overlook......

OMG! I have to get my friend one of those! We have this thing, I don't even remember how it started, but when we first greet each other it is always poo-something. . .I know. . .real mature.

I also love the Shake Weight idea.

Last year I brought "Elvis in a Box" (a get up to help you look like Elvis) and it was a hit. But this year, I'm stumped. And there's always 2 or 3 Snuggies, so those are out

Thoughts??

Press on toenails??

There were brothers from MN that passed a pair of jeans back and forth for something like 30 years. Each year the "gag" was how the jeans were 'packaged". One year they were in the glove compartment of a car...that had been crushed at a salvage yard

my father's parents had a HUGE bible. the thing weighed a ton at least 40 pounds!!! My grandmother tried to give it away for years but no one wanted it because it was so big!! She also to threaten to haunt us if we got rid of it... After she passed away and her kids sold the house, no one would take the bible..The day we cleaned the house, it needed to leave so my cousin said he'd take it... but he took it and put it in my dad's car, well my dad found it and put it back car and they took it without knowing.. it ended up in my house at a birthday party and I put it in another cousin's trunk... No one would leave their car unlocked when another family member was around!!! it finally got wrapped up and given to my uncle for his 60th birthday by the 3 grandnieces.. He laughed so hard he cried!!! He kept it for a year and then he wrapped it up and gave it to his daughter on her wedding day!!!

A 5 gallon jug of corn oil. It has been the hit of the show every White Elephant I have ever been to. It is so random, people just laugh, laugh, then fight over it.

This is the best gag gift I have ever taken to a party like that: a melted snowman. Just fill a gallon jar with water and throw in a little pair of mittens and a little scarf, some button eyes, etc. Apply a label that says "Melted Snowman" or "Frosty" or something to that effect. People loved it, thought it was so creative and it was such a hit that our minister used it in a sermon!! I came into church and my melted snowman was sitting on the pulpit!

This is hysterical however we actually have a clapper and when our dog barks it turns our light off. So if you decide to buy your grandma one you might want to invest in a service dog.

An old toaster with burnt toast in the slots and an empty (but not cleaned out) jar of miracle whip.

My DH spotted a jar of "Baconaisse" at Wegman's this past spring, and thought it would make a great gag gift. Too bad, they don't sell it anymore! It was SO gross looking....with a large layer of oil floating on the top....

Instead, he bought a bottle of carrot juice. The bottle is similar in shape to a wine bottle, so he'll put it in a wine bottle bag. That sucker will get stolen left and right (the folks at this party like their wine! LOL)....It will be funny to see the reaction when they pull out carrot juice!

Whoever said the poop calendar, THANK YOU!!! My boyfriend will die laughing when I get him that. You just made my night!

Split an english walnut shell or 2 in half take the nut meat out fold up bills of any amount put inside an glue the 2 halves back together again. Give a whole bag of english walnuts, wrap in clear celophane with pretty bow.

My uncle once did this to my brother on his birthday ...brother was about 9 or 10 an did not like getting a handful of walnuts for his birthday an he gave his walnuts away......including his money. NO he did not get his money back.....it was to teach him a lesson ....NEVER give anything away till you know what you got.

Take a package of batteries and attach a tag that says "toy not included"

THanks for the idea! Can't wait!

I'm bringing a shake weight to the one we are going to.

We do a 'regular' grab bag, but someone always ends up putting some kind of crap or gag gift in it. One year my brother put a plunger. One year I put a lava lamp in it, it wasn't as popular as I thought it would be.

I saw someone suggest on another thread here a couple of weeks ago a pack of toilet paper. I'm trying to decide, I've got good gifts for 3 members of my family to put in, but I need to find something off the wall or crappy for the 4th...still thinking.

I'm kind of liking the Obama Chia Pet. I think I need to hit the dollar store tomorrow, they usually have some random things there.

That new toy Singamajigs are HYSTERICAL. They can sing together and look and sound so funny!

My DD and her friends collect these! They are hysterical!

How about a pair of dust mop slippers. I've seen them at Walgreens, Target, and Wal-mart. They have built in dust mops on the feet so you can mop the floor while you walk.
