The White Elephant Gift Exchange Meme

A white elephant gift exchange is a party game where amusing and impractical gifts are exchanged during festivities. The goal of a white elephant gift exchange is to entertain party-goers rather than to gain a genuinely valuable or highly sought-after item.

The term white elephant refers to an extravagant, impractical gift that cannot be easily disposed of.
-Wikipedia

Rules:

1. Comment.


2. In your comment, list a few gifts your character brought to this white elephant gift exchange. Link to pictures if you got them.


3. Respond to people. Pick a gift: congrats, your character is the lucky person who got whatever-it-is the top leveler brought to the party. Or, maybe reverse it and hit them with a gift of your own: congrats, top leveler, you got whatever's in the box.


4. tl;dr go exchange likely terrible gifts

Tybalt | October Daye

[bardolator]

1) A new, single-volume, Complete Works of Shakespeare, bound in leather. [ Because he is that extra bitch. ]

2) A Rum Tum Tugger body pillow case.

3) Lime-green fuzzy handcuffs from Spencer's. [ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]

[ The young woman looks at the case, frowning a little as she searches for the right words. ]

Um... OK, I'm not sure how to say this without being awkward... But, uhm, I've known a few Caitians, and I think they might think this is kind of culturally insensitive.

[ The works of Andrew Lloyd Webber aren't that big in the 23rd century. ]

[swordarm]

1 - Sword of Zoltan.
2 - Brave Sword.
3 - Wo Dao.
4 - Dagger.
5 - Fur doublet from Faerghus.

[He did not understand the assignment.]

Pearl Eyed Jimmy | OC

[chizzler]

- A Pythagorean cup
- Ivory poker dice
- What looks to be at least a replica of the Voynich manuscript. Opening it up and passing the first two pages reveals it's a box. In that box is another box, and in that box is a puzzle box. Solving the puzzle box gets you: a single halfpenny. Apparently the theme this year was 'wasted time'.

Yelena Belova | MCU

[ohioan]

[ooc: UTD on Hawkeye!]

1. a slinky dog

2. a hamburger phone

3. Malibu Barbie

Kokichi Ouma | Danganronpa v3

[lieindespair]

1. A stack of old software CDs, mostly AOL online trials and outdated Photoshop discs.

2. An oversized Three Wolf Moon shirt

3. A gaudy plastic goblet bedazzled with pink plastic craft gems that has "𝒮𝓁𝓊𝓉" written on it

4. A set of 5 scratch-off tickets with 2/4 losing spaces already scratched off

5. A box of just dickey collars. About 20 in total.

Loki takes a long moment to stare at the plastic abomination he's received, utterly deadpan as the gems sparkle in the holiday lights.

"I love this," he says at last, completely sincerely. "It's horrid, and I'm keeping it forever."

Someone has a new favorite cup.

Deadlock 💀 ABC Warriors

[anarchyrules]

It’s a box that contains the worst fear of whoever opened it.

raven | guilty gear

[paaaanzer]

1. A single raven's feather.

2. A jar of sauerkraut. Unlabelled.

3. A strange coin.

4. knife

Date Masamune | Sengoku Basara

[vengaboy]

1. A jug of premium sake, big enough to share.

2. A lacquered, multi-tiered bento box. Every single tray contains zunda-mochi.

3. A dried, hollowed gourd for drinking. It smells like it contained alcohol very recently. So does Masamune...

[itmeanstruth]

“Okay, this is really neat… oh! Is this zunda mochi?! I haven’t had this in ages!” Minoru unwrapped the bento box, and was even more excited as he spotted the desserts inside.

He’d grown up with family vacations back to Yamagata prefecture, a stone’s throw from Miyagi Prefecture where this particular treat was common.

Melissa Foddebrat | Beware the Villainess!

[shatteredstoryline]

1. A stolen item from an imperial armory which includes blessed weapons in the shape of daggers, swords, various flintlock guns, magic goblets/staffs/orbs. Pick one of your liking, and that's the gift.

2. A box of expensive looking dessert snacks.

3. A stone that looks like it used to be set in an engagement ring

4. An IOU slip for one fancy restaurant meal OR spar/sword fight

[The more 'sensible' gifts (like the dessert snacks, which are addressed to her) are regifted items. Whoops.]

Bill Cipher | Gravity Falls | OTA

[tetrahedonist]

OH I'M ACTUALLY GOOD AT THIS. EVERYONE HATES MY GIFTS. I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT MY TIME HAS COME.

[In Bill's little treasure heap are a taxidermied dog with a wax human mask, the top half of a purloined tombstone with a birth date (1741) and a blank death space (----), several small resin dice with glass(?) eyes inside, a deck of cards where every court figure is illustrated grief-stricken or beheaded (or both), a nest made of human hair & full of jellybeans, and a birthday card that says simply 'please forgive me'.]

I MEAN I THINK THIS STUFF IS GREAT. BUT MAYBE GIFT CARDS ARE BETTER.

[creepyoldguy]

Holy Moly, that's an frickin' awesome haul!

[The demon wanted all of it, specifically to give some of it to Lydia.]

may parker | mcu | ota

[benjaminbutton]

1. A heat-changing mug blazoned with Bob Ross' face.
2. A half-grown hedgehog Chia Pet, alongside some Italian Christmas cookies.
3. A canvas tote bag filled with promotional pens from used car dealerships.
4. The candle.
5. Panettone.

[talkedtolights]

[ Oh. A mug with the face of that guy that paints. That's... interesting. Well, at least Joyce'll definitely use the mug for morning coffee. ]

Thank you, May. How thoughtful.

[ There's an air of jest in her tone, but the sincerity is still there too.

May has her choice of batteries (toy not included), a multipack of plastic reusable swirly straws, a green scarf with pom poms on the ends, a jigsaw puzzle of multicolored cupcakes, or a mini first-aid kit. ]

Loki / MCU / OTA

[coldsong]

1. This clock.

2. A hairless furby.

3. Fuck/Marry/Kill card game.

4. Whatever this is. No explanation will be forthcoming.

[bloodysacrifice]

He doesn't say anything and just sets this extra large LEGO figurine down next to the alligator and shrugs.

[Squints at it]

I don't know what this is, but I don't trust it.

mantis | mcu | ota

[innerbeauty]

A can of chili, a diamond painting kit (bling out a lovely portrait of David Hasselhoff), two mushroom nightlights, Ice Planet Barbarians, and a Dixie cup containing 15 teeth. Are they human? Who knows?

[tetrahedonist]

Bill points at the cup of teeth, in the manner of a person trying hard to disguise eagerness. "Are you gonna finish those?"

Kate Bishop | Hawkeye

[arrows_away]

[OTA; voice testing. Series spoilers okay.]

1. A Costco sized box of mac and cheese

2. A coupon for a free slice of pizza at Vinnie's pizzeria in Manhattan.

3. A purple scarf

Minato Hinageshi | Ride Your Wave

[new_wave]

1. A pour-over coffeemaker

2. A battery-powered portable stove with frying pan.

3. A betta fish mini-tank

4. A snorkel and diving mask

5. A pretty cool beach towel

Castiel |Supernatural | ota

[trenchcoatbaby]

Castiel thinks it's a strange kind of party to have, but he's come prepared for it.

[cuttingremark]

1) A small mouse that can breath fire

2) A cat necklace. Seems innocent, but the wearer will find every cat in a 1 mile radius instantly attracted to them.

3) A plain black umbrella. When opened a torrential downpour drenches the person underneath.

4) A very slick black wallet. Whenever opened it yodels very VERY loudly.

5) The nicest bottle of wine you've ever seen. It tastes like lime gogurt. Everything you drink for the next 24 hours now tastes like lime gogurt.

"...aw!" Whatever Steve was expecting out of a White Elephant exchange with Loki, a mouse wasn't it. "He's...he's cute!"

Lucky thing he's never had a problem with rodents. He's quite gentle with the mouse, holding it in both hands and looking half charmed, half worried. The hell is he going to do with a pet mouse? Until it actually spouts flame, he has no idea it's anything other than an ordinary domestic mouse, but--

...wait a second. Hold up.

"Loki?" he asks slowly, squinting at the creature in his hands. "Did you turn someone into a mouse? Is this someone I know?"
