Gifts that begin with the letter J

Jeopardy Deluxe Edition board game. $20

Barnes & Noble, Kohl’s, and Walmart all carry it. Easy to find online.

Sigh. I’m getting way too into this. Last suggestion, I SWEAR.

Airplane sized bottles (1 of each) of Jim Beam, Johnny Walker, Jameson’s, Jack Daniels, a nice glass or a jigger, and some Jolt Cola.

Yeah. I’ll go away now. :smiley:

A jerboa.

If you’re considering games, I’d recommend Jaipur.

A football card set of the Jacksonville Jaguars

A Jam Jar full of Juicy Pear Jelly Bellys

Jack Daniel’s.

$25 worth of assorted Jelly Bellies would be the hottest gift in the room!

jam
Jammies
Juice

Juiceros should be around $25 now. Can’t get much whitey elephantier than that.

$25 worth of Jack In The Box tacos

Joke books (probably should make sure you don’t get any too risqué)

Juniata College t-shirts (available for $19.99 each)

Jar full of lottery scratch off tickets

Pardon me while I rant.

This is NOT a white elephant gift exchange; it is a “white elephant” STYLE gift exchange. The last white elephant I went to, we were told white elephant, but no one mentioned they didn’t want real white elephants. It was very embarrassing to bring a real white elephant gift, because everyone else had bought something new.

Earrings or a broach made from jade or jasper.

Of course, I read this and pictured you bringing a literal white elephant. How embarrassing!

Nowadays the perfect example of a white elephant, in the sense of “a possession that is useless or troublesome, especially one that is expensive to maintain or difficult to dispose of,” would be a CRT television or monitor. Anybody ever try giving someone one of those as a white elephant gift?

Jodhpurs

Convince everyone that “gift” is pronounced with a soft g. Then any gift is a … jift.

Rant permitted. For our upcoming Christmas white elephant *style *gift exchange…
