Five Fun, Beauty-Centric White Elephant GiftsI have plenty of normal hobbies, but I also like to browse beauty products for fun. I’ve found hundreds of cute, kooky, affordable items this way, and although my own holiday wish list is just “coconut oil” in all caps, I think a lot of my Goods finds would make perfect White Elephant gifts. If you don’t know how to host a White Elephant exchange, click here to read the rules. The goal is to be more quirky than generous! With that in mind, here are five beauty gifts from Goods that would be fun to force on your friends. white-elephant-gift-ideas_tweezers_600c422 Soft Touch Tweezer with Built-In Light and Mirror Travel Case | $7.99 Why it’s useful: It’s everything you need to tweeze your eyebrows on the go: tweezers with a built-in light, and a sleek case with a mirror on it. Why it’s weird: Whenever I look at it, I think, “Thank goodness I could still tweeze my eyebrows in an underground cave!” Why it’s extra-fun at a White Elephant party: You can use this to tweeze the host’s Christmas tree, if you’re into that. white-elephant-gift-ideas_handwarmer_600c403 USB Rechargeable Hand Warmer | $13.99 Why it’s useful: It doesn’t just keep your hands from getting colder, like gloves already do. It actually warms them up! Conveniently, you recharge it via USB port. Why it’s weird: People might think you’re being strangely secretive about a tiny machine that you keep clasped between your hands or in your pocket. Why it’s extra-fun at a White Elephant party: Seven words: chestnuts roasting on a 113-degree hand warmer. white-elephant-gift-ideas_bangs_600c396 Bango Tango Blunt-Cut Clip-in Bangs | $9.99 Why it’s useful: It’s an easy way to road-test bangs. No styling necessary, and if you don’t like them, just unclip! Why it’s weird: The person who ends up with it might not have hair that color. But hey, that just makes it more of a statement! Why it’s extra-fun at a White Elephant party: There’s going to be a second where someone unwraps it and finds a slab of hair they don’t understand. white-elephant-gift-ideas_headscratcher_600c457 Pinook Stimulating and Vibrating Head Massager | $14.99 Why it’s useful: Head massages are the best. Period. Why it’s weird: It looks a little like a spider. When it vibrates, it probably looks like a shivering spider? Why it’s extra-fun at a White Elephant party: Whoever gets it can wear it like a hat and lord it over everyone else. white-elephant-gift-ideas_neckworkout_600c422 Medisonic Adjustable Neck Toner | $13.99 Why it’s useful: It’s a portable resistance stick, and you can use it to tone your neck—an area even full-body boot camps don’t really touch. Why it’s weird: It sort of looks like a kickstand for your head. But, like, a nice one. Why it’s extra-fun at a White Elephant party: You can fool people into thinking it’s a tiny bike pump, or a designer soap dispenser. The possibilities are endless. gift-cosmetics-banner_600c66 Check out more of my tips for navigating this holiday season:
