m the pile and opens it. The person with #2 then takes their turn. They can steal the #1's gift or open a new one. Then it's #3's turn and they can steal any gift available or open a new gift. Gifts can only be stolen 3 times. A gift can't be stolen after that. Hopefully you get the idea.
In my work white elephant gift exchange I drew #1, so I couldn't steal anything and had to open a present. This is what I opened.
My only hope was that someone would steal it from me and I could have a shot at a different gift, but nobody stole it from me and I was stuck with a Lint Lizard.
So you're probably wondering why the title of my post says "Best work white elephant gift EVER!" Well, a few days after the gift exchange I was at Wal-Mart and noticed that they sold the Lint Lizard, so the next day I returned the Lint Lizard to Wal-Mart and got $11 and some change in store credit. The gift card was then used to buy some cold medicine for my wife who was sick at the time. In my mind though that $11 and some change was mine to get whatever I wanted. Here's what I picked up from eBay a few days later for $10.06 shipped.
