The criteria with which to judge gifts in a holiday gift swap is markedly different from what you’ll find anywhere else in the season.
Gone are the niceties that inspire gifts of cashmere scarves and expensive candles for Aunt Susan, and in are the 2018 calendars of awkward family photos and an activity book in the theme of Nicolas Cage for Susan from Accounting. It’s actually kind of a nice break.
Gift swaps reward the niche, novel, and irreverent, with bonus points going to those who can check the boxes of funny and useful. So, below, we rounded up 20 gifts that are perfectly primed for this occasion, and, admittedly, perhaps none other.
Scroll on for 20 gifts we think are perfect for White Elephant, Yankee Swap, Nasty Christmas or what have you.
