It’s been an unpredictable year — but let’s finish it off with some good surprises.

White Elephant gift exchanges, Secret Santa parties or Yankee swaps, as they’re known in some families, are a great opportunity to do some re-gifting, unique gag-gift shopping and to share some holiday spirit with your closest friends and family.

The premise is simple: Get a group together and each bring a small wrapped gift to the exchange. How you switch and swap varies from tradition to tradition, but in the end, everyone ends up with a mystery gift to open.

Secret Santa is similar, with a bit more preparation. After drawing names and setting a spending limit, bring your gift to the party and present it to your secret recipient, revealing yourself to be the best gift-giver ever.

Those who have been participating in the gifting game know the types of things usually found in the White Elephant pile — and likely have enough fuzzy socks and coffee table books to last until Christmas 2050. Easy to gift for a surprise recipient, sure. Creative, maybe not.

Give the gifts your friends and family will actually want — nay, fight over — with our recommendations for every budget. It’s the thought that counts, but isn’t it better if they actually like it?
