Few things stress me out more than a white elephant gift exchange. While it's easy to pretend I don't care about the outcome of the game (wherein your gift can be stolen by any given participant), deep down, I want my gift to be fought over. Fortunately, I'm coming to this holiday season prepared. Read on for my list of the best Amazon white elephant gifts, all of which are guaranteed to please any crowd. Act fast and shop now while they're still discounted for Black Friday.
Amazon White Elephant Gifts:
amazon.comBedsure GentleSoft White Throw Blanket ($12, originally $16)
I love the idea of gifting a blanket for white elephant, because it's something you know everyone already wants. This one from Bedsure is especially cozy, and it's currently on sale for Black Friday.
amazon.comOwala 24 oz. FreeSip Twist ($19, originally $30)
It doesn't matter who you are, everyone needs to stay hydrated. And in my humble opinion, Owala is still the it-girl water bottle to bring to a white elephant gift exchange — plus, there are tons of fun colorways to choose from.
amazon.comKitsch Satin Pillowcase ($15, originally $19)
A satin pillowcase is one of those little luxuries I might not buy for myself, but I'd definitely appreciate receiving as a gift. That's what makes it such a great white elephant gift (well . . . that, and the affordable price tag).
amazon.comSol De Janeiro Jet Set Travel Shower Kit ($26, originally $34)
As someone who travels often, I swear by this travel shower set. But with three of Sol De Janeiro's bestselling products (the body wash, perfume mist, and Bum Bum cream), I think anyone would love to receive this gift.
amazon.comAmazon Echo Pop ($22, originally $40)
When in doubt, I think it's safest to go the tech route. This Amazon Echo device can serve as a speaker, set reminders, and even control compatible smart home devices.
amazon.comLego Botanicals Succulents Building Set ($40, originally $50)
If budget permits, this floral building set will win anyone over. Not only are the Legos fun to build, but the finished product is pretty enough to display on its own (and it's currently on sale).
amazon.comSony WH-CH520 Wireless Headphones ($38, originally $70)
Give the gift of upgraded sound quality — I like that these Sony headphones are light and comfortable, with a long battery life (not to mention nearly 50 percent off for Black Friday).
amazon.comReacher Wood Grain Sunrise Alarm Clock ($33, originally $50)
For a more wellness-minded group, I'd gift this sunrise alarm clock. It mimics the sunrise to help its recipient gently ease out of bed in the morning, and has 26 gentle sleep sounds to help them doze off at night.
amazon.comseenlast Candle Warmer Lamp ($20, originally $30)
This candle warmer is beautiful in and of itself, but it'll also help the recipient's candles last much longer. If I were gifting this, I'd also include my favorite candle (for good measure).
amazon.comKitsch Hair Perfume, Warm Sugar ($16, originally $20)
It isn't easy finding a scent everyone will love, but I can confidently say this hair perfume will be a fan-favorite. It's sweet, but not overbearing, and the warm sugar is totally fitting for the holiday season.
amazon.comJBL Go 4 ($40, originally $50)
Another tech find I'd feel confident gifting (with a larger budget) would be this JBL portable speaker. It's waterproof, compact, and the sound quality is no joke.
amazon.comToloco Massage Gun ($38, originally $60)
I think everyone could use the gift of recovery this year. Whether it's a tough workout class or a long day at work, a handheld massage gun is something everyone would fight over.
