The notorious Yankee Swap: one of the most fun parts of the holiday season. Otherwise known as a white elephant gift exchange or a Dirty Santa, this holiday tradition consists of vying for a way to walk out with the best present.
While the rules for this game can vary the underlying principle remains the same. Essentially, everyone brings a gift to give away. One by one people take turns picking a random gift and opening it. If you’re happy with your gift you keep it; if you’re unhappy you have the option to swap with a gift someone else has already opened. As you can imagine, hilarity and fun times abound as your friends and family seek out a gift that speaks to them.
Regardless of your traditional rules, we found the six most entertaining gifts to bring to your upcoming festivities. Everyone will want to steal the gift you brought with these presents.
