The best White Elephant gifts you can shop at Walmart for under $50

Briley Kenney

Those looking to inject a little fun into their usual holiday routine often play a game of White Elephant with friends or family. Also called a White Elephant Gift Exchange, it’s a simple game where each player contributes a gift to a common pool and everyone takes turns opening them. Players draw numbers to determine what order they’ll get to choose a gift. The first player picks a gift, and the rest follow, but the twist is that anyone can “steal” a gift from others.

It’s a lot of fun to play, but it also means you’ll have to bring an interesting gift to the event, and hopefully, everyone else does too! It begs the question, what kind of gifts are perfect for a game of White Elephant? Everything from funny to quirky and weird works! But to make things a little easier, we put together this list of the best White Elephants gifts, all of which you can shop at your local Walmart. Don’t forget, there are plenty of Walmart Black Friday deals to shop too, many of which would make for a great game of White Elephant!

If you were able to take advantage of Nintendo Switch deals to purchase the popular console, the next step is to take a look at video game deals for titles that will draw your interest. Nintendo Switch game deals cover all genres, so whatever type of gamer that you are, there's something for the console that will match your preferences. However, if you're a Pokémon fan, you shouldn't miss Walmart's $10 discount for Pokémon Shining Pearl, which brings the game's price down to $50 from its original price of $60.

A remake of the classic Pokémon Pearl, released in 2006 for the Nintendo DS, Pokémon Shining Pearl reimagines the adventure for the Nintendo Switch with updated gameplay, improved visuals, and an expanded endgame. It's currently ranked in Digital Trends' best Pokémon games as one of the best Pokémon game remakes, as it faithfully translated the original game that takes place in the Sinnoh region. The grass-type Turtwig, the fire-type Chimchar, and the water-type Piplup return as your choices for the game's starter Pokémon, as you embark on a journey to become the champion of the Pokémon League, and to encounter and catch the legendary Pokémon Palkia.
