26 White Elephant Gifts People Will Actually Want

Everyone can use some help strengthening their relationships, whether that's with family or friends. This card game does just that, offering question prompts that will launch you into deep conversations. It's a great way to spend wintery days indoors.

Bombas delivers everything you want in a grippy house slipper. The Slipper Bootie offers luxurious cushioning and warmth, thanks to an extra-thick footbed and fluffy sherpa lining. Chunky yarn and an oversized ribbed cuff look festive and cute to boot. Better yet, for every purchase, Bombas donates an item to those in need.

Chances are that everyone at the party is already thinking about their New Year's resolutions, and many people will have fitness on their brains. Give one lucky recipient a head start with this Bluetooth headband headphone. It's wireless, machine-washable and hypoallergenic. It'll also keep sweat and hair out of their face as they work toward their goals.

Let someone be the life of the party with a wireless Bluetooth karaoke microphone. Karaoke is a great way to liven up any white-elephant gathering -- and with this portable mic, your recipient can relive the experience anywhere.

Sometimes the best gifts are the most useful items. This 16-inch laptop sleeve fits the bill: Not only will it keep the recipient's laptop safe as they're toting their tech from the coffee shop to the office, but it will also add a cheerful splash of color to their 9-to-5 routine.

Chances are good that there's an iced coffee connoisseur in the group. To satisfy their craving, they can instantly lower the temperature of their drinks with this HyperChiller. CNET's David Watsky gave it a glowing review because it works in a matter of minutes. It quickly chills warm wine, too.

Everyone uses their smartphone to catch up on the news and connect with friends and family, but it can be annoying to clutch a device with one hand for a long stretch of time. This grip allows for a more comfortable scrolling experience. With a 1-inch elastic strap, kickstand and magnetic mount, your giftee can easily take selfies and stream content hands-free.

Coloring books are still fun for adults. We all lead busy lives, but sometimes it's nice to relax with some art therapy. This coloring book has intricate designs of international cities, including Amsterdam, New York, Paris and Tokyo. With each stroke, they'll feel like the next Picasso -- but without the effort.

Sometimes it's hard to figure out what to get someone. That's why an Amazon gift card is perfect -- you don't need to. Just load the card and give it away.

This is a fun, flexible gift: Give a candle designed to smell like your local baseball stadium (yes, there's a hint of grass and cotton candy in there) or the state where you live. You can also get festive and seasonal with a "Snow Day" or "Buddy's Breakfast" candle. The options are endless.

If you're going to get someone chocolate, why not try something different? Step up your chocolate game with Seattle Chocolate's truffles instead. These impressive confections aren't too sweet, and many of them have tasty flavored centers. A personal favorite is Blackberry Creme -- every bite is like a party in your mouth.

The JBL Go 3's durable design and surprisingly decent sound make it one of the top micro Bluetooth speakers out there. Available in multiple colors, it has an IP67 water-resistance rating that means it can be dunked in water and is dust-proof. Battery life is rated at up to 5 hours.
