how would you like this

December 21, 2007 by Rachel

for a white elephant gift:

1/2 liter of Sprite
1 bag of ACT II microwavable KettleCorn
1 DVD of Ocean’s Thirteen

Oh, wait the DVD is actually a rental from Red Box and there’s a note on the DVD: “Please return by 9 pm Sunday.”

Last night was our annual White Elephant Gift Party with our church small group. And my husband takes great delight in wrapping up the bizarre and random.

If you think his please-return-me-or-else DVD was clever, check out his Merry Mountain Dewsicles that he gave last year.

As ridiculous as they seem, Nate’s gifts have been the most stolen items both years. Oh, the power of pop (and humor).

Oh Nate! So clever! I can see why it’s so popular. I have a White Elephant party at work today and I wrapped up expired product…that should be hit, don’t you think? i should have called Nate for some inspiration! shanel

Oh so sad to miss out on Nate’s gifts this year! That Nate, always the funny man.

Well, you neglected to tell us that you gave our old Halloween pumpkin away, complete with a soup recipe.Also, I am very proud of my Merry Mountain Dewsicles, which even though it doesn’t pass a spell check, I still think it is a better name than most other holiday food products available. So none of you can use that idea without credit given to me.And sorry Shanel, but I cannot tell what “expired product” refers to. A container of old asprin? Last year’s Aveda shampoo?

Nate, I’m sorry for the confusion, expired product here from work. expired stylet kits and sheaths. Does that explain it? shanel

Shanel–I can see now why you have chosen the term “expired product” to describe your gift, and now I see I should have been content with that summary alone.The more you are specific, the greater my confusion.

We loved Nate’s creative idea! We wish that we lived closer so that we could see them first-hand!
Have a Merry Christmas!

Nate, I thought you would be interested to know that I ended up with my own expired product in the end and now I am anonymously interofficing them to someone else! shanel

After our white elephant party I returned home and suddenly realized that I SHOULD have brought our Goldfish which seems to have an abnormal life span. And Jim who is to kind, can’t bear to flush it down the toilet. Next year, Nate I vow to try to be as clever as you.
