Some White Elephant parties can be funny or silly, and you’d need to bring a hilarious white elephant gift. But this is the list for you if you want ideas for classy or tasteful white elephant gifts!
I’ve been to many white elephant parties through the years, and these are some of the most classy, nice, and useful white elephant gifts I’ve seen people fight repeatedly.
Because as you may know, some White Elephant parties can be funny or silly, and you’d need to bring a hilarious white elephant gift. But this is the list for you if you want ideas for classy or tasteful white elephant gifts!
Let’s be honest for a minute.
No one wants to be that person who, when someone opens up your gift that gives that happy little “oh neat!” face. Then they place the item clearly on their lap making sure everyone can see it so that, hopefully, one person will trade with them.
These are the gifts no one wants to go home with. Gifts that they feel “stuck” with.
No. We all want that amazing gift that everyone ooh’s and ahhh’s over. That everyone’s eyes get all big for.
That gift that everyone fights for.
These are so classy and tasteful that I would actually fight over them too.
30 CLASSY, NICE & USEFUL WHITE ELEPHANT GIFTS

2. GEL NAIL POLISH KIT WITH UV LIGHT (buy on Amazon here) Such an unusual gift idea that includes everything you’d need for doing gel nails at home. Lots of polish too.

13. AIRZOOKA (buy on Amazon) Do you want to “blow” your friends away? Or just want to call down the stairs loudly to your kids? Yeah. This is perfection. Everyone fought over this one at last year’s party.

17. AIRPLANE FOOT HAMMOCK (buy on Amazon | Walmart) This one is so unique and cool, I want it! I want it!
18. AMAZON GIFT CARDS – Everyone always loves gift cards. Consider wrapping the gift card up in multiple boxes so that it looks huge and the person has to open a bunch of boxes to get it.

22. COLOR CHANGING UMBRELLA (buy on Amazon) As the rain falls on the printed white droplets, they change different colors of the rainbow. Can you say awesome?
