Whether it’s with your office crew, friends, or family, White Elephant gifts are all about fun! Here are some creative picks that are sure to steal the spotlight:
My hand-painted ornaments – They’re one-of-a-kind, a little bit artsy, and small enough to keep the game exciting.
A copy of my book, Decoding the Flow – For the creator or dreamer who wins, it’s a perfect way to spark some inspiration (and it’s a great conversation starter!).
Gift cards – Pair it with a personal note, and you’ll have a standout gift that keeps on giving.
Framed Art Prints – Add some flair to the party with a Drica Lobo framed art print! It’s unique, vibrant, and way more exciting than the usual gift swaps. Perfect for stealing the spotlight (and maybe a few envious glances ).
