The best funny white elephant gifts get a laugh when they’re opened and a second laugh when somebody steals them. Here are nine RyLoree picks for office swaps, friends with questionable taste, and anyone who thinks a yodeling pickle sounds like a reasonable purchase.
Quick pick: Bring the yodeling pickle for a mixed crowd, chicken leg socks for work, or toilet golf for friends who appreciate bathroom humor.
Office-safe crowd-pleasers
1. Chicken Leg Socks
For the coworker who says they never skip leg day. The chicken feet make the joke before anyone has to read the gift tag. See chicken leg socks on RyLoree.
2. Mushroom Kitchen Funnel
A mushroom-shaped funnel for the person who always spills half the olive oil trying to refill the bottle. It’ll get a laugh and might actually stay in the kitchen. See mushroom kitchen funnel on RyLoree.
3. Finger Chopsticks
These slip onto your fingers so you can eat chips without dusting your keyboard in nacho cheese. A strong contender for a desk gift exchange. See finger chopsticks on RyLoree.
Bathroom humor for friends
4. Toilet Golf
It’s a miniature putting green for the person who already treats every bathroom break like a full round. The obvious pick for the golfer in your group. See toilet golf on RyLoree.
5. Urinal Shot Glasses
Two miniature ceramic urinals, because apparently regular shot glasses weren’t making guests uncomfortable enough. Save these for an adult swap where you know the crowd. See urinal shot glasses on RyLoree.
6. Emergency Underpants
A backup pair for life’s least dignified surprises. Wrap them in a jewelry box if you want to build completely unreasonable expectations. See emergency underpants on RyLoree.
The “who brought this?” gifts
7. Yodeling Pickle
Press the button and the pickle yodels. If you need one gift for a mixed crowd, this is my pick: everyone gets the joke, and somebody’s going to press it again. See yodeling pickle on RyLoree.
8. Baguette Body Pillow
A giant loaf of bread you can cuddle. It’s the one to bring if your goal is to make somebody carry a full-length baguette out to their car. See baguette body pillow on RyLoree.
9. Cat Butt Coasters
Three woven coasters that let cat people put their coffee exactly where a real cat would never allow it. Silly enough for the swap, useful enough to keep. See cat butt coasters on RyLoree.
How to pick for your swap
Check the spending cap before you buy. For work, pick something that doesn’t require explaining your sense of humor to HR. For friends, think about who’s in the room and what they’d actually try to steal. If you’re torn, bring the pickle.
