    Share some of your funniest White Elephant gift stories!

     

    I'll go 1st. Someone gift wrapped a pound of bacon with an ice pack wrapped in aluminum foil.

     

    For my dept's White Elephant this year, I plan on bundling a 4 pack of toilet paper with a bottle of Poo Pourrie, a pack of Dude Wipes, and a $10 Taco Bell gift card.

    Oh I am so stealing this for my adult Christmas party this weekend. Everyone is supposed to bring a $10 gag gift and this is perfect. Thanks for sharing.

    The people who take kids out who are clearly too young and are having meltdowns.

    Yes, this burns me up. Why drag them to the store and get mad because they can't handle it the stress.

    - stores having more than one "Black Friday sale" (especially when they take place on a random Thursday in October)

    - stores no longer having paper ads (or in some cases no digital ads either)

    Yes, the multiple Black Friday sales. I do miss getting the paper ad. I would get up early to grab the newspaper just to go through all the store ads.

    Black Friday plans?

    in 2023

    Posted

    I'll shop online for some things but I'm still a brick and mortar girl. I still go out on Black Friday for the nostalgia and to grab items that I may not have noticed I needed/wanted. Since I don't have to stay up into the wee hours standing in line to snag a deal I typically just go out mid morning.

    Ok, we always talk about the things we love about Black Friday, but what are the things we don't like? I can't stand to see people collect multiple items of a hot item and load their basket to then turn around and not purchase any of it. Why be greedy?!

    Are you spending less this year?

    Since the boys are older I’m spending less. Plus since hubby and I went big on our 20th wedding anniversary gifts for each other this year, we decided that we didn’t have to go all out for each other this Christmas.
