A present intended for a lighthearted gift exchange, typically humorous, unusual, or impractical, falls under this category. These exchanges often have a specified spending limit and involve a playful element of stealing or swapping gifts among participants. For instance, a gag gift, a regifted item, or an oddly specific kitchen gadget could serve this purpose.
Such exchanges foster camaraderie and create a fun, memorable experience during holidays or social gatherings. The relatively low cost limit makes participation accessible to everyone, while the unexpected nature of the presents adds an element of surprise and amusement. This tradition has evolved from the historical concept of a “white elephant” a valuable but burdensome gift into a modern celebration of playful absurdity.
