I love Dirty Santa gift exchanges! And what makes them fun are when the gifts are GOOD. And I don’t mean good as in expensive, but good as in unique, funny (but not gag-gift) and useful even if they are a bit quirky. The whole fun in the game is when people want to steal and swap gifts because there’s something in the pile they actually like!
So here are more than 20 things I’ve found on Amazon that would make great White Elephant / Dirty Santa gifts – each under $10! I’m going to go in descending price order so check about halfway down if you’re looking for $5 or less gifts!
