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.

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'.

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

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...

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.]

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

[creepyoldguy]

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

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

[tetrahedonist]

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

[tetrahedonist]

You want it? T'is the season, you can have it all. [Bill paused.] Is the rule that you have to give me something back? I wouldn't want to annoy some Fae by not accepting an exchange.

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

[coldsong]

"Ice Planet Barbarians?" Loki enjoys books of all kinds, but this one seems to be throwing him for a loop, which does not improve as he reads the synopsis on the back.

"...someone wrote a romance novel about Jotunheim." Wow, what the fuck?

[innerbeauty]

Nobody should ever eat these. [ The scandalized expression on her face implies kicked puppies, babies thrown out of strollers and off of mountainsides, and spoiled milk. Curdled ice cream. Pulverized Christmas cookies. You know, world-ending tragedies. ] They’re for collecting.

[coldsong]

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.

[innerbeauty]

Doesn't it sound interesting? [ Mantis cradles Loki's awful Furby thing as she looks pleased with herself. ] I am halfway finished reading it. Skip the third chapter, though.

[coldsong]

[Interesting? That's one word for it. He knows he's never shown her his Jotun form, but with Mantis, that doesn't necessarily mean she's unaware of what it looks like. And the fact that he's a Frost Giant is an open secret at this point. Which begs the question of whether this gift is some sort of deliberate message or just a thing that caught her eye.

He's nonplussed, but not displeased.] You gave it to me before you finished with it? That's quite the sacrifice. Unless you'd like for us to finish it together...?

[He is also pleased she likes the Furby. It was the ugliest thing he could find for her to love. One just has to hope it isn't cursed.]

[innerbeauty]

[ Hope it's not cursed? Why, so you decrease some of its value? Perish the thought! Besides, Mantis adores him either way; every inch of him is so offensive to any sense imaginable, it makes her eyes water.

...with joy!

On her own gift's prescience, though, there may be a toss-up on whether or not she meant it to be a direct commentary on Loki's heritage.

She nods. The Furby stares up from its nest directly into Loki's soul. ]

I would like that, I think. [ Wait. She doesn't have to second guess, to hedge her bets. No need to turn belly-up and hope that she pleases anyone anymore. ] No, I know that I would enjoy hearing you read it.

[ There she goes, toying with the Furby's mohawk of fur. Awful. Abominable. Adorable. ]

Even putting into account all the mistakes the author made about space travel.

[lieindespair]

Kokichi looks completely proud of himself for having found someone with terrible taste. Funny enough, he can totally see him drinking out of it.

"I don't think it's machine washable, so you'll have to clean it by hand. Just be careful not to accidentally swallow any of the gems, okay?"
