Anyone have any "White Elephant" gift ideas for this year.

Last year I took a picture of myself in a Santa Hat and scarf, making a ridiculous face. I blew up the picture, framed it, signed it and gave THAT away.

I was thinking about driving out to the city dump and seeing if they have a car that barely runs for REALLY cheap, and give someone the keys. Might be too much $$ though.

Any ideas?

2. One year a friend farted in a Mason jar and gave that out as

her present.
Yes, I have a couple of really tacky friends.

11. She got herself ready for the event:

beer, baked beans and pickled eggs for two days straight, then the present was collected. She wrapped it w/ a Bic lighter, in case the recipient was feelin' froggy.

4. I saw a Jesus action figure yesterday.

I've also given an Elvis (Las Vegas) ornament and Pillsbury Doughboy salt and pepper shakers. Once we received a flyswatter clock from a white elephant party. It's hanging proudly in our home office.
