Good to know

What's the difference between a gag gift and a White Elephant gift?

A gag gift exists purely for the laugh and is usually given to one person; a White Elephant gift enters a stealing game, so it helps if it's funny and something people would keep.

How much should a gag gift cost?

Under $25 almost always. The joke is the value — spending more starts to read as an actual gift and confuses the bit.
