Beest and I went to the preschool's annual adults-only party last weekend. Our last one, as Thor (our youngest) goes to Kindergarten next year.
Part of the deal is a white elephant gift exchange. So clearly we are stuck with our "gift". After getting rid of the Cluedo-worthy candlesticks we inherited last year, we avoided the peach lingerie that has been doing the rounds for 5 years. And the 1980s sex trivia game we once housed for a year got destroyed two years ago. We nearly came away with a stylish @-shaped trivet, but it was stolen from us at the last minute and we ended up with...........A 2005 Anne Geddes/Celine Dionne puke-inducing-page-per-day calendar! Hurrah! shock
So now the question is, how to have the most fun while disposing of it. Should I add it to the president's folder filed under "while elephant" as a little bonus for the next prez? Offer it as a door prize at the AGM? Threaten it as a penalty for families failing to attend this mandatory meeting? Install it in the toilets at the school and see if anyone notices?
And what's the worst white elephant you have either received or have waiting for the perfect disposal moment?
