A white elephant gift exchange isn't an exchange where you expect the great and the fabulous, it's more of one where you get "re-gifted" items and the bad, the good, and the ugly. At an elephant exchange everyone brings in on gift that is already wrapped and puts it in the middle. Then everyone draws a number in which the order of the gift unwrapping will go. (the higher the number the better)
When it is your turn to pick you can choose to unwrap another gift from the table or take one that someone has already unwrapped that you have been eye balling.
TIPS: Wrap ugly and bad presents in really decorative paper and pretty bows and the good presents in the ugly kind of paper.
