Every year, the prospect of the dreaded white elephant gift exchange brings to mind that episode of The Office wherein Michael Scott brings an iPod (haha what’s an iPod, am I right?) and chaos ensues. Even without an iPod in the mix, there’s always one gift everyone tries to diabolically scheme away from supposed loved ones. Seriously, how is this a holiday game? It’s designed for people who like to watch the world burn. But since there’s a 95% chance you’re going to attend a white elephant gift exchange this year—a number we arrived at in a completely scientific and not-made-up manner—we rounded up nine gifts to bring. We know gift giving is “not a competition” but bring one of these and you’ll totally win.
