Funny White Elephant Gifts Under $30 That Actually Get Stolen

White elephant only has one real rule: the gift that gets stolen the most wins. Candles, mugs and gift cards get opened, nodded at and forgotten. A shirt that makes the whole room groan gets fought over for the rest of the night. Every pick below is a soft unisex tee for under $30 in standard sizes, and every one is built to get stolen.

How to win a white elephant gift exchange

• Go funny, not useful. Useful gifts get kept quietly. Funny gifts get stolen loudly.
• Pick something people want to wear out. A shirt that gets a reaction at the party gets a second life at the bar.
• Read the room. Office party? Stay a little safer. Friends' party? Go all the way.
• Stay on budget. Most swaps cap at $25-30, and that's where these sit.
