White Elephant Gift

At our Valentine’s Party, we asked each couple to bring a white elephant gift. This glass block “decor” was the present Rob and I brought. It was meant to be a total joke, but ended up being the hot item of the night! So hot, in fact, I have made some more since the party for friends who were there and wanted one for their own home! 
I hesitated posting about this (you never know who is going to be offended or what “idea” of yours will end up getting trashed on some random message board!) but then I thought, “What the heck!” We had a good laugh, and hopefully (most of you) will too!
To make it, get some vinyl letters, a glass block (the small one I used is $5 or so at Home Depot in the window section) and some ribbon. Clean the glass block, apply your vinyl, then tie up with a bow! 
And I have to give my Brother in-law, Jason, total credit for this quote! He is the clever one in the family!
If you need some vinyl, you can check out my etsy shoppe.

    Emily says:

    It doesn't offend me, but it's kind of sad that all these women think it's funny and don't mind being referred to in an offensive way. Women need to be more honored than that and my husband would never allow something that degraged me like that in our house.

    I agree with Emily…. It doesn't offend me but I wouldn't want that message in my house. Wouldn't want my kids seeing/learning that type of disrespect or language. Other ways to have a laugh. I agree: my husband wouldn't want that type of degradation in our house….

    Link over from TCB and as a fellow Mormon girl, I can't believe that people are offended.

    ARE YOU SERIOUS??

    I love it. All the naysayers can go suck it…..

    (how'd that look on a glass block??)

    foodmathquilts says:

    Funny idea for a gag gift – also, you mentioned vinyl letters. I wouldn't display this in my house, but I'd laugh at the party, then just remove the "quote" letters when I got home.

  73. 73
    The Strader Family says:

    That is so funny! I cannot wait to be invited to a White Elephant party now. I agree with foodmathquilts. I would laugh at the party but not display it. What a great idea to just remove the quote letters.

    Baye says:

    Thanks for posting this. I love it. To those who suggested that any of us would want to have this out for the small ones to read, they really are missing the point. Obviously, we all know that it has its time and place. Lighten up! It's a joke for adults and teens who are bright enough to understand that it IS a joke.

    Thanks. I love it!!!

    I so wish I had seen this prior to the White Elephant part I went to a couple of weeks ago I totally would have made one. Great play on words.
