Brit + Co never plays around when it comes to holiday parties (or any parties for that matter). But around these parts, ain't no party like a white elephant party, because a white elephant or Secret Santa party is prime time for ridiculous gifts. From kitschy necklaces to cowhide wrapping paper, we've found the ultimate buys for gift swap domination.
