When he knew that there was going to be a white elephant gift swap party, the first thing that SkibidiGyat OhioRizzler thought of to bring was a blue parking sign so that one of his teammates could start "pushing p". However, as he considered the logistics of buying and somehow wrapping a tall sign, one of his teammates came over and asked, "Hey PizzaCircus, what gift you getting for the party?"
"A blue parking sign."
"... Can't you ever do anything normally?"
"Oh, that's not normal? ...I mean, what should I get instead?"
"I don't know, something that a regular person would use regularly?"
"Ok, I'll try that out. Thanks."
"Yeah. Sure."
As his teammate walked away, SkibidiGyat thought about what a regular person would use normally. He was pretty sure that that didn't include himself, as he was seen as pretty eccentric by even his weirdest teammates. Suddenly, he had an idea. He was going to get... a slice of pizza.

Carter Goad is a sucker for holiday treats. Any kind of food related item in the gift exchange would be of highest priority. Christmas cookies in particular. You really can't go wrong with any of them. Lemon, chocolate dusted in powdered sugar, pineapple, oatmeal raisin, and of course gingerbread cookies. Though if no one brought any cookies (because let's be honest, the locker room isn't full of bakers), other food related items would suffice.
For Carter's white elephant gift, he would bring a framed and signed copy of his Gemini award winning article "Do Penalties Really Matter?". Nothing like some shameless self promotion while also reminding your teammates to up that intelligence stat to avoid those game altering penalties. We are not targeting any teammates or anything of course (it's not like we have four players at or below 60 intelligence or anything...) but if it happened to fall into a certain player's hands, I think that'd be okay.

If the ranch pizza man were to decide to come home for the holiday the first thing he would steal is some pizza. Isn't that obvious? The ranchman is very smart and he would bring bottles of ranch for everyone that is in his family, He would then likely cover them in these bottles of ranch and dance with them while they all ate some pizza. Now, that was a joke because the ranchman would never do that. The ranchman would take them all on a very fancy dinner that was paid for by him after he got his first sponsorship payday. He would proceed to kindly give away his bottles of ranch, and then he would give his white elephant gift to hudz. His holiday gift is a BUCKET of ranch that he has squirted 1,000 bottles of ranch into. He will also give away a BUCKET of choccy milk for the next raid that they plan on doing together on that one lame baseball league.

Thor Dangerson pulls up to the Yellow Knife Christmas party gift in hand. He wrapped it himself in a bit of really old newspaper he had in a shelf of old things in his garage. Newspaper, remember those? Newspaper was almost archaic after thought, so Thor Dangerson wrapped his white elephant gift in it. He thought it would make it more antique, more of an artifact from the 20th century. Thor Dangerson had picked a gift with two of his teammates in mind. Thor had found an artifact that was from a century before an old quill pen, and a bottle of black ink to accompany it. Dangerson figured this gift would tantalize either Zenzeroni Xystarch II, or Emerson Bigguns. Both were incredibly talented writers and philosophers. Gentlemen and scholars such as those two would most certainly clamor for the gift that Dangerson had acquired. Wrapping it in the old newspaper was just the cherry on top. Ready for the white elephant gift exchange, Dangerson smiled to himself not everything has to be witty, sometimes just thoughtful is much better.

Being from the far future, Triceracop is typically unused to the amenities that exist in the year 2060 but with the Chicago Butchers throwing a fantastic White Elephant, the man has to at least try to do participate. He would bring something that would fall within the $50 limit in the year 3060 - a pair of ExperiPhones. Used in the future to enjoy music in a similar way to current people use headphones, they allow a user to completely experience the music in a way that suffuses every human sense. People have described it as standing in the center of a hurricane of sound and fury, and a pretty great time.
As far as what to steal, since arriving in the year 2060, Triceracop has become quite enamored with Taco Bell, and when a certain evil wide receiver happened to bring a case of Hard Mountain Dew Baja Blast to the exchange, the dinosaur knew he had to leave with it. Sadly, his quest was foiled by Amanda Hugandkiss, but that is the way of White Elephant.

Ace has always been a fan of vintage clothing, specifically vintage sports apparel. Now that he's making money, he spends countless hours scrolling through eBay looking for vintage apparel featuring his favorite teams and legendary players. Approaching the holiday season, Ace started to search for the perfect piece of Sailfish memorabilia to add to the team White Elephant gift exchange. After his transformation to running back in the DSFL, Ace did his research on the best running backs in league history and after being drafted by the Sailfish, his favorite player eventually became John Huntsman, the leader in rushing touchdowns for the Sarasota Sailfish, a record he hopes to surpass one day. On eBay, Ace was able to find a game worn jersey, signed by the legendary running back coupled with a PSA 10 Autographed Rookie Card. At the end of the day, Ace went home with his own gift, after all, he did a buy the jersey in his size.

I did need to figure out what a white elephant exchange was, but Lloyd Bannings, the star quarterback for the Orange County Otters decided to bring in a Steam Deck for the White Elephant Exchange, to treat someone else on the team especially since he's been underperforming this season so far already throwing 13 interceptions this year. What I would be looking to steal during the exchange would be a watch, the last one I had broke this season after the game against cape town since he threw the game away with the 3 backbreaking interceptions against them.
The team had a great time during the party this year, just taking a few hours out of the busy schedule to relax and had a nice night bowling at the local alley before getting back to the grind to try to punch out ticket into the playoffs this year and hopefully to a championship.
