Re: White Elephant Ideas
I had some co-workers find a half eaten box of candy in the parking lot of my office about 6 months ago and wrapped it and put a note on it telling me how much they appreciate all I do blah blah blah. Well it has been in my freezer since then and will be my white elephant gift this year  .

Snowman Poop: Put some mini marshmallows in a zip-lock baggy with the following note, "This party is fun, but here's the scoop. I was a cheap gift giver so all you get is snowman's poop!" (Could also use chocolate covered peanuts or raisins and rename it "Reindeer Poop". )
A Box of chocolates, with one or two pieces missing-- and include a photo inside the box-- of the gift giver putting a piece of the candy in their mouth.  |
That is a winner!!! Hilarious!

Millionaire Seeds
Money Tree Starter Kit
Plant seeds with dollar sign up, in fertile soil.
If you plant the seed wrong, the tree will grow upside down.
For best results, shout "I WANT TO BE A MILLIONAIRE" while watering. |

Re: White Elephant Ideas
Little off the subject, but this thread reminded me of it.
Last year my DIL couldn't find a box to wrap something, so she used a Lipton's Onion Soup Mix box. I kept the box to put something for her in it this year - - see how long we can keep the box in the family!
Little fun things like that add to the family memories!

That is so cute?
Did you ever hear the fruitcake story that Sherri and Eddie tell?
What you said kind of reminds me of that-a little.

I think it's fun. This year I'm doing the pickle ornament for the first time for my grown-up kids - - thought that would bring a little excitement Chrismtas morning!
