My workplace is doing a White Elephant Christmas gift exchange I'm not participating. 🙄 Good...

We used to have those, and they were fun. Now we pool the money and use it to buy gifts for needy children.

I never participate in those things at work, grab bag, secret Santa etc... no need for adults to stress out about buying gifts for each other. I'm all for a holiday party, but leave the gift giving for the kids.

My job is also doing the same thing. I don't plan on participating. These days, everyone will give each other gift cards.

It's like a $5 gift and you get one back too. Just find some trash you were going to throw out and don't be a misery guts.

@DearAmbellina2113 Usually gifts can only be traded 3 times so that stops the perpetual swapping for the best gifts.

What's a white elephant gift exchange, I never heard of it

DearAmbellina2113 · 41-45, F

@AthenaArena you buy a gift for someone and they have the option of either keeping it, or "trading" with someone else for a better gift. It's kind of mean if you ask me, because it usually ends up being ONE gift that is "better" than the others so that's the gift everyone is trying to trade for.
