Creative Adult White Elephant Gift
Last year for our couple’s Valentine’s Day party, my husband and I asked each couple to bring a white elephant gift. I always LOVE seeing the random items people come up with, and this gift exchange was no exception!
The gift Rob and I brought was this a funny framed quote that my brother in law made up. He is definitely the clever one in the family! Take a look:
This creative white elephant gift idea was meant to be a total joke, but ended up being the hot item of the night! In fact, it was stolen several times throughout the night.
It was so popular, I have been asked to make several more of these since the party for friends who were there and wanted one for their own home! Because it was so popular, I decided to create a minimalist print of the quote so you can take it to your next party.

Will this be available on your esty shop again anytime soon???
love it…..lets add some hot “red” lights inside the glass block!!!!
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.
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!!!
That is too too funny. As in seriously laughing out loud here. Thanks for sharing!
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.
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.
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??)
OH my that is soo funny! Great white elephant or gag gift for sure:)

I love a play on words, this is funny! Lezlee
I think it's hilarious! And to those who didn't like it in the previous comments, why does the "ho" have to be referring to the woman in the house?
This is HYSTERICAL!!! I also think I just found a cute gift to give to my future hubby! ;^) LOVING it!
Wicked funny! I just may have to make one…
That is awesome, how funny! Thanks for sharing!
The bottom line is hilarious….but the over all idea is really great. Thanks for sharing.

Very funny. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for sharing with Made it Monday! Jules
Haha. I think it is funny. I had never heard that one before. I wouldn't probably put it in my home, but I would totally wrap it up as a gag gift or white elephant gift for sure!! And hey, it's your blog. You can post whatever you want!

not offended in the least…. hi-larious!
TOO CUTE! I love it! What a neat play on a word. I totally see why it would be a hot item 'gag' gift idea and great for a couples party.
I think its funny. I sent a link to my hubby. He was like uhm okay. I laughed. I'm not buying one. But I laughed. Seriously, tho people really need to lighten up. I love your blog!
I love it!!
That is super funny!
That's hilarious! I'm making one for my living room window! Love it!
hahahhhahahahha. I think it's hilarious. I remember him saying that one time, and totally forgot about it. glad you posted it!
Just thought I'd mention that my 13 yo daughter follows your blog. Not exactly the sort of thing I like her to see.
Are you kidding me? That is INCREDIBLE!! First real laugh I've had in bloggerland! Thanks!
I freakin' love this and of course I had to order one from your Etsy Shop….Thank you!

Steph, I freaking love the white elephant gift. I'm even more sad that I didn't make it that night. I will totally have to make that!
Not offended at all! I think this is great and so funny. I might have to make one for something.
Haaaaa. Love it!
I think that is so funny. Not my type, but its just a joke. I know my family & friends would have thought it was hilarious.
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….
I love it, we all need a good laugh!
xo

Yep, FUNNEE!! A good laugh and thanks for having the hutzpah (sp?) to share it. Sheesh, some folks should lighten up!
I'm so glad that you didn't worry too much about offending anyone and posted this. It's so funny!! It definately brightened my day!
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.
Sad you jump to the conclusion that the “ho” is a female and the “me” is a male. LOL
Hilarious!!! I love it and so glad you posted it, I'll bet it was hotly contested who walked away with it.
Love it. Very funny!
That is hysterical! I need to remember that for our family Dirty Santa. Have a great week!
That is so funny!
oh MAN that's funny!!!!
I love this and already forwarded it to several people!
I BUSTED out laughing when I saw this! that is THE FUNNIEST thing I have seen in a really long time.
That is so funny! I love it!
That is HILARIOUS! I love it. I may just suggest this as an Enrichment craft…or not. But I will definitely keep this in mind for future gag gifts! Thanks!
Funny!! And Cute!!!
I'm totally offended….JUST KIDDING!!! I think this is HILARIOUS!!! I'm gonna feature this on my sidebar…great job!
