29 Genius Yankee / White Elephant Gift Ideas
1. Acrylic dry erase calendar
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a convenient place to jot down all of the things you need to remember to do in a week?
Tell me this wouldn’t be the perfect thing for someone’s mom command center or office desk at work!
2. Bento box
I love bento boxes because they’re so neat and compact, and handy to have at home when you need to pack lunches.
3. Portable phone charger
You will never lose when you contribute a portable phone charger to the Yankee swap pool. It’s definitely been a sought-after grab gift every time I’ve played!
4. Stanley
If you show up the white elephant party with a Stanley, just know that the game is going to get competitive and intense!
5. Stone pestle & mortar
These stone pestles are great for grinding up herbs and for guac making! It would also make a fine addition to anyone’s kitchen.

I own a couple of JBL speakers and I’m always so impressed by the amount of sound they can throw for being such compact speakers.
They also make the perfect white elephant gifts because who doesn’t want a nice speaker??
10. Watering bulbs for plant
I have given these plant watering globes as a gift many a times and I always hear good feedback about them.
Since we’re not all great at remembering to water the plants, these globes can really help out an aspiring plant mom/dad. And be a useful tool to keep their plants alive when they go on vacation.
11. Electric salt and pepper
Everyone knows grinding your own salt and pepper is too much work. So why not bring an electric salt and pepper set to the yankee swap?
Who ever goes home with it officially gains a few fanciness points.
12. Squatty potty
The reviews are in, and it is indeed true that the squatty potty makes it significantly easier to comfortably take a sh*t.
This hilarious gag gift is sure to generate lots of laughs at the family/company Christmas party, and secretly be the gift everyone wants to take home.

I personally don’t love sushi, but if I did, then I would love this swap gift. The right person would love being able to create their own California and spicy tuna rolls at home!
14. Veggie chopper
Everyone knows that cooking dinner is a process that can sometimes take us FOREVER to finally get on the table. This veggie chopper chops veggies in a jiffy and could seriously expedite the process of cooking dinner for someone!

Everyone knows that the daily coffee habit can add up especially when you’re doing the daily Dunkin’ or Starbucks run.
