We are the white elephant gift headquarters on the internet… so we take online gift shopping very seriously!

Shopping online for white elephant gifts is the easiest way to find unique items to bring to the party. Part of the fun of participating in the white elephant gift exchange is the time spent trying to find a gift that will get everyone talking. Because the price point of white elephant gifts is usually less than $50 dollars and with high fuel prices, it just makes good economic sense to use the computer to do the shopping.

There is no denying that many of us work harder and put in more hours than was often the case in the past. Busy lives leave little time for activities such as shopping, particularly when it comes to clothes.

The rise of the internet and the growth in the number of online retailers means that nowadays busy people can shop online for just about everything under the sun. Whether you are looking for a furniture outlet or an online clothes shop, these days, providing you have a computer you can let your fingers do the walking. Online shopping certainly saves time but there are pros and cons when it comes to buying things this way.

Shopping online is so convenient:

Compared to traipsing round a busy shopping centre looking for a new skirt or that perfect pair of shoes, buying from an online clothes shop can be done from the comfort of your own home.

When you have worked long hours all week, the last thing you want to do is spend your weekends in the concrete jungle searching for a new pair of boots.

Purchasing online couldn’t be easier as most products are displayed with a picture, full product description, price and available sizes. All you need to do is log on to the internet, find your favorite store then identify, order and pay for your goods. Going on a shopping expedition could take a couple of hours or more out of your day, whereas it only takes a matter of minutes to purchase something online. The best thing about online shopping is its convenience; once you’ve put your order in and the site has charged your card or PayPal account, all you have to do is sit back and wait for the goods to be delivered.

The internet gives you access to any number of retail outlets, some of which may not have a branch in your part of the country. There are also some stores that operate solely online. Most online shopping is trouble free and if the things you order are not the right fit or not exactly what you ordered, you’re completely within your rights to return them thanks to the ‘distance selling regulations’.

The hit and miss aspects of shopping online:

One of the good things about physically visiting a store to purchase clothing or footwear is that you get to see the goods as they really are and you can usually try them on before you buy.

When you purchase something online there are times when the items you receive look a lot less appealing than they did online. What’s more, when you shop on the internet it can take a week or more before you receive your goods – frustrating if you need something quickly.

Whether you shop at your local shopping center or you shop online, sizes do vary and when you need a pair of boots or something similar, you can’t try them on before you buy. If you purchase something online and have to return it, you could wait another week or two before you actually get what you want. Internet shopping is a boon to busy people but you should be aware, that just like any other kind of shopping, it has its virtues and its drawbacks.

Easter is the perfect time for a Fuzzy Gift Exchange Party

Gift Exchange parties are great for sharing fun and support for your family and friends during the holidays. Easter time has always been a time to gather and enjoy some time and gifts together as a group.

We suggest that an Easter white elephant gift exchange would be a unique activity for this holiday season, and that having a fun theme makes it even more interesting. So, because Easter has it’s fuzzy little bunnies and chicks, we suggest that you consider a “Fuzzy-Gift” exchange…

You can prepare for the standard white elephant gift exchange, but for this party you will want to suggest that all the participants  bring gifts that are somehow related to “Fuzzy“.  Remind them that the more interesting the gift, the more  fun and the greater the level of banter that will come in the party. There are many fuzzy things to choose from, so you should see some great gifts opened and shared during the Easter gift exchange…

In order to give your creativity a boost we thought that we would fling-up the Slingshot Flying Duck.  This unusual white elephant gift will really get the conversation sailing around the room at your Easter party.

Plus... A slingshot fuzzy animal can propel itself across the room when it gets stolen during the gift swap party!

White elephant gift exchange – Easter style

Every holiday is an opportunity to share gifts and fun with family and friends, and Easter is no different.  This year you might change things up a bit and host an Easter Gift Exchange.

Unique and creative gift giving is the hallmark of a great party, and nothing makes a party more fun than some games… Of course we always suggest some type of white elephant gift exchange.

For your Easter party you could ask everyone to bring gifts with a Easter theme.  Maybe it could be a Bunny& Egg party, or an “Everything Fuzzy” exchange or for a religious gathering the theme could be centered on Christian gifts.

You would structure your gift exchange like any traditional white elephant gift party, with all invitees asked to bring a wrapped item. You could specify a price level and determine if regifting is OK and then notify all with an invitation.

Because we are affiliated with the Amazon markets we went in and gathered together some gifts that may help to get your creative juices flowing.

We also searched Python Printable Games for some other party game ideas for you → Easter Games

Rattle loose a great white elephant gift

For  about $15 dollars this white elephant gift will be a find great appeal in your next white elephant gift exchange. It is a combination set of wrist rattles and foot covers for babies.  Baby items are great conversation starters in these group gift party settings.

The rules of the white elephant gift exchange require that players open wrapped gifts and then allow others to make comments and possibly steal the gift away.  Traditionally the gift that gets stolen the most also receives the most comments. This rattle and foot cover systems definitely meets the conversation starter status needed for a very popular white elephant gift.

The funniest part of this gift is its name:

Foot Finder Set

This gift has worked very well in the online version of the white elephant game because the complete description is displayed on the playing page when the gift is revealed. With the additional information on the product, the players can take the conversation if several directions.  I could see one of my son’s attempting to gross everyone out with an image of an ugly toe that would need a toe-cover.

Even in a standard white elephant gift party or a Yankee Swap this set would rattle some conversation out of even the most stoic participant. .

You are going to love this party!

Banish the dull white elephant gift party

I found this white elephant gift idea in the AlbinoPhant $15 dollar marketplace the other day and I could really see this gift ratcheting up the fun in your next exchange.

When a Fat Burning video is displayed in one of our family’s online white elephant parties, someone would share an image of a overweight image, or show a video clip from “People of Wal-mart”.
