Do you need a quick last-minute gift for a White Elephant gift exchange? You’re in luck because some of the best White Elephant are tech gifts.
Just in case you’ve never heard of a White Elephant gift exchange party, we’ll fill you in: Guests each bring a wrapped gift, and the whole party sits in a circle. Each guest chooses a gift to unwrap. As each person chooses a present, they can also choose to take a gift that has already been unwrapped by someone else, eliminating the surprise element of the exchange. Some White Elephant parties are about ditching crap gifts; others are about small surprise gifts that everyone will like, and fight over. We went that route: All of these tech-themed presents are so good, so your friends will be starting fights.
Most of these gifts are between $20 and $30, but if you go over your party’s “set” budget, who are we going to tell? Here’s our guide to the best White Elephant tech gifts.
