The Best White Elephant Gifts
- Infinity Cube Fidget Toy
- Game of Phones
- Have a Great Day Mug
- Decision Maker - Fun and Unique
- Punderdome: A Card Game for Pun Lovers
- A Wine Accessories Gift Set
- Succulent Gift Box
- Water Painting Bamboo Brush & Stand
Composed with eight tough ABS plastic blocks linked together with strong stainless steel metal rivets. It's durable and can withstand constant flipping and folding. It has a smooth surface and curved edges that are easy on the hands and light on the wrist and arms. It has also met and exceeded the ASTM International Toy Safety Standard and CSPIA. It's a handy little gift they'll love to fidget with for hours at a time!
Your smartphone already sits on the table while you're out to brunch, it lays next to you on the couch while you watch reruns and scroll through texts--you might as well give it the official party invite. Game of Phones turns your trusty cellular companion into the subject of a scavenger hunt between you and your friends. Just gather your friends and their smart phones (sorry, flip phone, you're not invited), draw a prompt card, and see who can use their phones the fastest to create an emoji masterpiece, show off the last photo you took, or find the weirdest Google Image result for your name. Collect the most points to win. Only the fastest and funniest will survive.
This is a perfect gift for white elephant parties, and it's one they're sure to fight over. The funny design on the mug reads "Have a nice day", a nice enough message! But, tilt it up to drink and you'll see a hand flipping the bird at whoever is standing or sitting in front of you. It's hilarious, and perfect for meetings or just strolling through the office.
Unsure of what to do? - just ask the Decision Maker. The pendulum will swing and stop and the "right" answer. Possible answers on this model are: Yes, No, Always, No Way, and Maybe. The text is deeply and crisply lasered into the wood. Great fun and a beautiful and unique item. They embedded 5 magnets into the hardwood base and there is a magnet embedded in the pendulum. The magnets cannot be seen on the base, only wood surfaces are visible. The bottom is felt lined.
One part game, one part conversation starter, you don't need to be a pun master to master Punderdome: the goal is to make bad jokes and have fun along the way. A player (the prompter for that round) draws two prompt cards from the deck, and then reads the prompts to the rest of the group, who have 90 seconds to create a single, groan-worthy pun that combines the two prompts. When time is up, pun makers share their puns with the prompter, who awards the prompt cards to the player whose pun he or she likes best. The winner then draws the next pair of prompt cards and the process repeats. Players win by obtaining 10 pairs of cards. One of the most unique gift ideas out there!

These boxes include a 4oz 100% soy candle, vegan, hand-poured in a glass container (choose your scent), a 2.5inch succulent (types will vary) in a white high-quality ceramic pot, a succulent patterned box of matches, a Greeting card as pictured and an elegantly printed gift box.
Here's the original, genuine, superior quality, authentic Buddha Board, made with only the finest high-quality materials. Simply fill the stand with water. Then dip in the bamboo brush (included) & start drawing, painting & writing. You'll create soft, beautiful images with a rich, inky Japanese look. Appreciate your creation in the moment, and then as the water evaporates and your masterpiece slowly fades away, practice the art of letting go. A gift they'll treasure!

This protective covering was Invented by a mother son duo, inspired by a Macgyvered seal that looked like a makeshift condom. Unaware of the success that would come from this hilarious, yet effective solution to resealing opened bottles of wine, they set out to create this fun novelty gift. With a bigger is better mentality (pun intended), the newly upgraded wine condom version 2.0 is the ultimate in protection and preservation.
Known for their hard shells and spicy dispositions, dinosaurs roamed the earth millions of years ago. These taco-toting beasts are back for a blast of mealtime fun.
