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. That's right — we're your one-stop shop for the absurd, the unusual and the totally delightful. Read on and prepare for a serious celebration of the random.
Now, let’s get this White Elephant gift party started.

What lights up and will instantly turn you into the opposite of the Grinch?

Horse head masks were a big hit at last year’s Brit + Co holiday party (the two pictured here were actually purchased by me… and I ended up taking them home at the end of our white elephant exchange). They also make for a great couples Halloween costume.

Horse Head Squirrel Feeder
More horse heads! What?! If you haven’t seen this ridiculous thing going viral, it’s time to get in the know. It’s a squirrel feeder shaped like a horse head, so it looks like the squirrel is a mini-horse when he’s snacking. Amazing.
