64, 96, or 120-count box of Crayola Crayons with a built-in sharpener. Many of us remember being jealous of that one kid back in school who had the big box of crayons with the built-in sharpener. Now, anyone old or young will love getting a box of their own. Coloring is a great way to relieve stress, so include a coloring book as well!

A Life cereal box filled with lemons. If you are looking for something silly, we recommend taking the life cereal out of the box and filling it with lemons so that it is a play on “when life gives you lemons”. Depending on the recipient’s outlook on life, they can make some lemonade, grab some tequila, or find someone with a papercut.

A hippopotamus. We love the “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” song and think that one would be a perfect white elephant gift. Ceramic hippo figurines and planters, along with plush toys, are readily available on Amazon.

A white elephant. While we were shopping for the ceramic hippo on Amazon, we actually found a ceramic elephant figurine that was colored white! Elephants are a symbol of good luck, so the recipient will definitely enjoy some good vibes – along with plenty of laughs.
