On the surface, white elephant gift exchanges seem plain and simple. Everyone brings a gift, you swap them, fight for the coolest one, and (hopefully) go home with the best gift of all. But in our experience, these Dirty Santa swaps require much more effort than you might initially think. For starters, who is your audience? With this question comes a slew of others like should your gift be funny? Risqué? Totally normal? On top of that, how much do you have to spend? Over 100? Under 10? As for the final question: What in the world are you supposed to get?
