When the holiday season rolls around, it’s easy to turn into a scrooge at the thought of overspending on presents. Even if you’re a girl on a collegiette budget, gift-giving doesn’t always have to be expensive! A white elephant exchange is like a regular holiday swap, but with a fun game and quirky, inexpensive gifts. People give gifts nobody really wants or needs—but that’s the fun of it! Check out some of the most hilarious and bizarre gift ideas for your friends’ white elephant exchange.

Even though a note-taking app will do the same thing with less effort, we actually want this.
2. Magic Emotiball

Remember your old Magic 8 Ball? Ask this emotiball a question and you can get any emotion from, “Bleh probs not” to, “Yes, obvi.”
