What White Elephant gifts get stolen the most?
Broadly useful things with instant demo appeal: portable speakers, viral water bottles, glowing lights, instant cameras. If half the room can picture using it tomorrow, it moves.
How much should the best White Elephant gift cost?
Exactly the group's cap. A gift that obviously blows past the budget makes everyone else's look small — steal-worthy is about appeal, not price.
