So... tomorrow as part of work's holiday festivities is a White Elephant gift exchange. Which I'm pretty sure I don't understand.
Go out and buy something that you think nobody's going to want so that everybody can take home more stuff they don't need.
It feels... a little offencive, even. Like buying food that nobody likes and making them eat it when they're full and there are people outside going hungry.

One of the most popular items at this year's WE exchange at my work this year: lotto tickets. Somebody bought about 15 $1 entries for the next MegaMillions drawing and put the printed ticket in a tiny holiday tin. It got "stolen" several times and the final recipient won $6.

Another popular gift here: the Big-Box-Of-Crap-From-My-Office-I-Don't-Want-Anymore. These are significantly less sought after, but always good for a laugh.
