One of the best parts of the holiday season? Gift-giving, of course. While there are plenty of reasons to splurge on discounted designer duds and jewelry to give your nearest and dearest, sometimes nothing is quite as fun as an old-fashioned White Elephant gift exchange. You know the drill: There’s often a strict budget, and your goal is likely to find an item that delivers the LOLs, such as a prank gift.
Truthfully, this isn’t about getting meaningful, significant gifts — it’s about scoring something that will make someone in your life chuckle! Whether you’re having a small family holiday gathering, a socially-distanced office party or just want to make your friend’s day with a tiny token of your appreciation, we’ve got you covered. There are 21 gift ideas below — some are hilarious, some are ridiculous and some are actually useful. Check them out and get to shopping — we can pretty much guarantee that any of these will be a hit!
This Genius Throw Blanket
A blanket is always a welcome present — but what about a blanket that’s also a burrito? Yes, this cheeky throw — available in a wide range of sizes — is based on the look of a nice, crisp tortilla. Not only is it a funny addition to any sofa or bedspread, it’s made from incredibly soft and warm fleece. That’s a wrap!

While there’s nothing wrong with ordering in on the reg and only being able to scramble an egg, how about you help them upgrade their eating routine with this waffle maker? It does so much more than heat up waffle batter — it helps make homemade paninis, other sandwiches and so much more. It’s a lighthearted way of telling your pal they need to step it up!

This Shower Accessory
Again, gifts truly don’t need to be practical — in fact, they can be completely pointless and still bring a much-needed smile to someone’s face. Case in point: This “shower margarita machine.” This is a joke gift box designed to look real — but alas, shower margarita machines don’t exist (to our knowledge, at least). Cheers!
