Nowadays Cannabis Infused Beverage starting at $40<\/a>:<\/strong> Bringing a bottle of booze is a white elephant classic; my husband’s work team almost exclusively exchanges bottles of liquor as a safe bet for enthusiasm. I think you can do better, though, and bring a THC spirit instead. This spirit is light and a little fruity, sitting somewhere in between the flavor profile of a floral gin and a sweet sake. My friends and I tried it mixed into a pomegranate cocktail instead of tequila, which was fantastic, and we also loved it with seltzer as a THC twist on a gin and tonic. It’s delicious alone, too. I’d skip this for a work party or any group that might not be green-friendly, though.<\/p>\n Booze in general:<\/strong> This is always a safe pick! You could also bring a bottle of nonalcoholic wine<\/a> if you wanted an option that everyone can have.<\/p>\n Here’s what was the least fought over at the white elephant parties I attended last year, or the most inappropriate ideas our team has heard of:<\/p>\n If you’re headed to your first white elephant gift exchange, here’s a quick explainer on what’s about to happen.<\/p>\n Everyone will bring a wrapped gift (often under a certain price, like $25) and place it into a pile or central spot. Then, each person will draw a number that indicates their place in the gift-choosing order. When your number is called, you can either choose and unwrap a gift from the pile, or steal one that has already been unwrapped by someone. Most exchanges will have a limit of how often a gift can be stolen\u2014usually around three times\u2014so if you have the best gift in your hands when it’s time for someone else to choose, there’s no guarantee you’ll get to keep it. If your gift is stolen, you can either unwrap a new one or steal a different gift (no take-backs, sorry).<\/p>\n These rules can vary based on the host and their house rules, so make sure to ask what the rules are at the start of the game.
