I need some ideas for a white elephant gift for under $25. So far all I can really think of is a small wine rack.

^ Everybody brings a gift to a party. You draw numbers. Number 1 picks a gift and opens it. Number 2 can then pick a new gift, or take the gift number 1 chose....repeat down the line. The higher the number the better because you can choose what you want.

The higher the number the better because you can choose what you want. I googled and got this.. Traditionally, a "White Elephant" is something lying around the house that you don't want (some horridly ugly item that someone gave you as a gift or some other item unwanted for some reason). I am of the belief that in most parts of the country, if you tell someone to bring a White Elephant gift it will almost certainly be a gag gift and not something genuinely useful or desirable.
