Whether you call it a “white elephant,” a “Yankee swap,” or “Dirty Santa,” the anonymous gift-giving game has become one of the best traditions of the holiday season.
A good Silly Santa gift exchange between friends, family, or coworkers always starts with a pile of wrapped presents in the middle of the room. Though the rules can vary, depending on who’s hosting the party, generally speaking the order of play is determined at random or drawn from a hat. In turn, each player can either choose a gift from the main pile or steal a gift that a previous player has opened. And the last player always has the pick of the lot.
Part of what makes Silly Santa exchanges so fun is the infinite possibilities for creative and amusing gifts, usually wrapped in elaborate disguises. Whether you’re shopping for friends, family, or coworkers, we’ve selected a range of crowd-pleasing Silly Santa gifts that hit just the right mark between naughty and nice. And when you check out with Amazon Pay, it’s always fast and easy — so you can skip past the billing and shipping forms and focus on the holiday cheer, instead of the holiday stress.
