We are having a White Elephant Gift Exchange, which means you have to bring a gift (wrapped) that is kinda funny or weird. It shouldn't be junk but it also shouldn't be anything nice that you had to go out and buy. Most good white elephant gifts are found in people's basement or garage for some reason... That's also where we found my little brother.
