Whoever is lucky enough to end up with this plushy pillow can display their love of carbs in their home, office or anywhere else, because honestly, what place wouldn't be better with a giant loaf of bread just sitting there?

With its Art Deco-inspired mosaic tile design, this is sure to become the recipient's favorite (and most beautiful) mug in their collection. The monogramed letter adds a thoughtful, personalized touch to the gift. This is definitely more off a Secret Santa gift, but it's to pretty not to include.

Bring on the nostalgia! This handheld Pac-Man game is a fun gift anyone could enjoy. You can also stand it upright so it looks like a mini arcade game.

This best-selling wine filter wand will have your white elephant gift recipient believing in magic again. This handy, compact gadget aerates wine to remove histamines and sulfites, which, according to the brand, can help reduce headaches, congestion and hangovers after that glass of merlot.

Mario Badescu facial sprays are well-known among beauty influencers and makeup fans alike— and for good reason.

Speaking of wine, this Guzzle Buddy wine glass is sure to get a laugh from everyone— right before they try to snatch it up for themselves as the game goes on. The glass transforms any beer or wine bottle into a drinkable glass, so that you're not technically drinking from the bottle but rather having just one glass. The Guzzle Buddy also works as a decanter and stopper.

Enjoy your popcorn in three minutes or less with this popcorn popper from Ecolution. It has over 40,000 5-star reviews on Amazon, and shoppers say it works really well and lasts a long time. There are six colors to choose from.

These funny little figurines are actually super useful. Fill Angry Mama with some vinegar and water, put her in the microwave for six minutes and the steam from her head will lift grease and grime.
