MamaC picks a great white elephant gift idea

I can imagine how much fun conversation will be started when this gift is unwrapped during the white elephant gift exchange.

In my family someone would shout out “GO POTTY GO!” And the banter would go crazy…

If this white elephant gift was opened in the online white elephant party someone would probably find a Youtube video about potty training and share it in the comment wall of the game.

I hope that this gift idea will give you a creative direction for your next group party.

(This gift is from the $15 AlbinoPhant Gift Marketplace)

My white elephant gift idea center

My name is Sarah Christensen and I am passionate about white elephant gifts and parties. I am also a professional recreationalist who has spent the past 27-years finding ways to engage groups in fun activities.

They call me MamaC – I have earned the “mama” part by raising 5 children of my own and shepherding hundreds of  youth in many recreational venues.

White elephant gift passion

Over the years I have developed a passion for sharing unique gifts, like those found in a white elephant gift exchange party. I have found that the best gifts stir-up fun conversation and get people engaged in the complete process – from shopping for just the right item to figuring out the best way to make the delivery.

On the pages of this site you will discover some white elephant gift ideas that will make your friends and family chuckle, cringe or even cheerfully re-gift.  No matter what the outcome, everyone will know that you took  time to think of them and put a little fun in their life. I will also attempt to start a conversation about each of the gifts that I share. Your special gift should become part of the conversion not just be unwrapped and forgotten. Every great white elephant gift becomes the center of attention during the party game, at least for a moment. Make sure that yours has everyone talking and “stealing”. I will help you discover the best gifts in my white elephant idea center.

Online White Elephant Gift Sharing

My family and I created the AlbinoPhant online white elephant party to provide a way to share great white elephant gifts from any distance. We have played this game online for the past several years, and now we offer it for others to enjoy. The unique feature of this activity is that real gifts are delivered following the party. It is not a wimpy virtual gift application, but really mimics the actual white elephant gift exchange.

The AlbinoPhant experience includes several white elephant shopping markets that allow you to select fun and unique gifts to share with your friends and family. It is my job to select the gifts that are stocked in the marketplace, and because I see every gift, I thought that I would share with you some of my favorite white elephant gift ideas.

I will post my selections on this AlbinoPhant Blog regularly with the hope that they might inspire you to have some fun with your gift giving experience…

Can Ecommerce and white elephant gift shopping combine?

“…the future will be owned by those companies that harness technology to the make the consumer shopping experience easy, efficient and fun.”

These are the words of Todd Hale, senior vice president, Consumer & Shopper Insights, as he reported on the Nielsen Retail 2015 forecast.

The future looks very bright for any consumer retailing that is tied to technology,  and even better when the shopping experience becomes personally engaging.

The big winners in the next 5-years will be mass Super-centers and the E-Commerce providers.  Other retail sales channels will lose share because of the growing success of these two sources of consumer product distribution.

We like the word FUN discussed by Mr. Hale, especially when it is associated with E-Commerce.

The ease of shopping and the purchasing efficiency of online retailing creates many leadership opportunities.  Now, all that is missing is some FUN at your local Amazon.com or Overstock.com site…

How about a game?

Engaging game activities will enhance the future fortunes of gift retailers.  Games equal fun… they always have!

But why target gift retailing as the source of FUN-based selling?  Because gift giving is associated with  personal engagement between people, and so are games.  Gifts are outward expressions of an inner commitment to make someone else happy and games are happiness generators.

The  E-Commerce gift store that finds a way to efficiently market white elephant gifts, with a tie to something fun and supportive, will be a big winner in the race for the consumer pocketbook in the future.

Then if you add in a white elephant exchange party game and a way to connect even the most distant friends, we will have a shopping experience like none other.
