White elephant gifts exist in a weird space. They need to be good enough that someone wants to steal them, but not so personal that they only work for one person. Funny helps, but funny-plus-useful is better. The gifts that create genuine drama at a white elephant exchange are the ones that land differently for different people — one person laughs, someone else immediately calculates whether they can steal it without looking too eager. That's the target. Not the gag gift that gets one laugh and goes in a bag, but the thing that makes three people quietly adjust their strategy.
