White Elephant Ready.

White elephant strategy: buy something that is funny to unwrap and genuinely good to keep. The clamp-on desk punch bag gets the laugh; the retro handheld gets the steal attempt on turn three.

All picks are under $50 by design so the game stays fair, and none of them are a scented candle from a gas station.
