🐘 About White Elephant

Extravagant but impractical stuff — that's what we call White Elephant. The phrase roots back into a Thai king's gladdening the courtiers who displeased him with… Rare albino elephants whose upkeep costs fell outside any budget.

Over time, the mocking favor evolved into a swap party tradition. Upheld by businesses, families, and friends exchanging less-than-desirable gifts!

Keep it funny, weird, and nice. Check out giftscoach White Elephant gift ideas above!

🎁 How to play the game

Agree on the maximum budget and present type with other participants. Pile the wrapped treats up and get ready to fight for the lucky package! The first player chooses a gift from the pool and opens it for everyone to see. Each guy following can either unwrap the next package or nick the previous giftee's present.

Consider these twists: make gift robbing possible only once per turn, have each gift heisted only once, or finish after three swaps to make it quick. The game is over when somebody refuses to steal a gift.
