I'm doing a white elephant gift exchange with some friends this year and the spending limit is $10.....any fun/cool/creative ideas?


 


Thanks!

I say hit up the thrift stores, baby!  There's all sorts of wacky stuff to be found there!

$10 at fred flare.  i also recommend urban outfitters--they get some wacky silly things.  last year one of us got this choice item:



her arm moves up and down for "shushing action."

I've actually never done this! It sounds like fun though. When is it? I'll be on the lookout for something odd under $10...

I love white elephant gift exchanges--


Chia pets are always a big hit for some reason.



or a Mr Potato Head.



or mr potato head massager



8 foot inflatable SANTA



a gingerbread house kit


a bottle of wine/cheap liquor


Urban Outfitters has some fun stuff.

Oh how fun!  I want to be part of a white elephant gift exchange.  If you have a dollar store near you, I would try that.  There is always weird/creepy stuff in dollar stores. 


Also I would try Spencer Gifts.  They have strange things there.  Some of their stuff is a little dirty, so I wouldn't go to the site if you are easily offended:  http://www.spencersonline.com/
