WATCH: Unwrap these must-have holiday gifts for the home
White elephant gifts are meant to be funny or impractical, but they can also be useful and -- most importantly -- cheap!
Another great part about shopping for a white elephant gift is the fact that they don't have to be personalized since you won't know who's going to receive it. And while shopping for a gift that can please a crowd can be tricky, but we have plenty of suggestions that will go over well regardless of the recipient.
