Gifts are then placed in a single location and guests draw numbers.<\/p>\n<p>The person who draws the number one chooses a gift and opens it. Then, the person who drew the number two can open a new gift or take the first person\u2019s gift. The process continues until the final person can choose between any of the opened gifts or the final unopened option.<\/p>\n<p>So, what\u2019s the difference?<\/p>\n<p>Typically, it\u2019s the type of gift. White Elephant exchanges are meant to feature silly, joking, or useless gifts. Essentially, it\u2019s a good-natured and funny exchange. The idea allegedly comes from the King of Siam who would gift courtiers he disliked with rare albino elephants. Eventually, the care and upkeep of the elephants would bankrupt the courtiers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/CASOFU-Burrito-Tortilla-Comfortable-Burrito\/dp\/B07R1TPZYH?tag=lsmedia-13449-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51By8KkoMKL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As for Dirty Santa, you\u2019re meant to bring a useful or fun gift that people will, well, fight over.
