    my buddy gave a chin or forehead mounted rubber dong to another friend’s mom

    hilarity ensued

    mom was mortified - daughter was pissed that he did that
    I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

    We had a xmas gift swap at the clinic. One of my female residents me a pair of flannel boxer shorts. I couldn't figure out what if anything she was getting at. I didn't try to find out.

    My (now ex) wife had lent a Xmas ornament (tree topper) to a friend. A few weeks later, at a White Elephant exchange with said friend (ex was not there), his gift was opened and it was the tree topper. Which was not his to give, and had significant sentimental value to my ex. Needless to say, my friend (who is an occasional mag) was completely clueless about his faux pas. And I reclaimed the ornament and he went home from the White Elephant with no gift.

    Some of the best ones I’ve seen:

    - A live fish (in tank)

    - Two gallon jug of Ranch from the restaurant supply store

    - a baggie of legal weed at a work party for a company where all employees are drug tested regularly…

    I did a beta fish in a bag and a 6 pack of beer once. That fish lived a long time at the office...

    A friend dumped the contents of his liquor cabinet on me when he moved, including an unopened bottle of Amarula cream liqueur, which is about the most disgusting looking thing I've ever seen. I brought it to my office white elephant party and because it was the only bottle of booze, it was the most popular item there. I don't remember who wound up with it, but I hope it was less disgusting than it appeared

    Malört next time then.

    Love the AI description:

    Malört is known for its intense bitterness, with notes of grapefruit pith, menthol, lemon, chamomile, and eucalyptus. Some say it tastes like sucking dandelion juice through a straw made of car tires.

    I seen this post yesturday and wondered how did the term come about, so I googled " White Elephandt " and there are a whole bunch of hits for real white Elephants so google them yourslef yourself BUT the common meaning in NA is

    A white elephant is a possession that its owner cannot dispose of without extreme difficulty, and whose cost, particularly that of maintenance, is out of proportion to its usefulness. In modern

    I went to a regifting X-mas party and I got a VCR cassette of crackling fire which is incredbly useless iMO

    so somebody had a life sized cardboard cutout of Austin Powers with a little motion activated voice box that had 6 of his most famous sayings " yeah baby ! " which was actualy very popular so I waited and got it on the 3rd swap
