* What is a White Elephant Gift Exchange?
A White Elephant gift exchange (also called a Yankee Swap or Dirty Santa) is a fun, lighthearted gift exchange game often played at holiday gatherings, parties, or club events. 🎁
Here’s how it typically works:
Everyone brings a wrapped gift — usually something inexpensive, funny, or quirky.
Gifts are placed together, and participants draw numbers to determine the order of choosing.
The first person picks a gift and opens it.
The next person can either choose a new wrapped gift or “steal” an already opened one.
If your gift gets stolen, you pick another unopened one.
The game continues until everyone has had a turn — often with a limit on how many times a gift can be stolen (usually two or three times).
It’s all about fun, laughter, and a bit of playful competition — not the actual value of the gifts.
