Here's what I did last year: I went to Chapters Book store & found two books in the discount clearance bin. One was "Improving Your Sex Life" & the other was "Handyman Tips...Repair just a about Anything". I took them home & used Elmer's White Glue ( any will do) around the edges of the pages so they couldn't be opened. It dries clear & can't be detected. Totally useless but look good on the shelf. The year before I went to a local Thrift shop/ second hand store & purchased some LP records that were in good condition & gave one to everybody. Seems no one has a record player anymore & some of the younger folks had never ever seen one but they got one anyway. I hope this will trigger some other useful suggestions & thoughts. You don't have to be creative just a little devilish.
I'm sorry you had to run into some rude obnoxius folks on here. For the most part most of us try to be sensitive & helpful. In the meantime Merry Xmas to you & your family from Ontario, Canada. Cheers!!

Pencils with furry material wrapped around the eraser end with some eyes glued on make a good "frustration" easer gift. They are cute too and when you roll them between your hands the "hair" get all wild looking.

none of the below should be considered white elephant. perhaps the leg lamp might. white elephant means having no purpose or use or at least no longer having purpose or use but can't be considered as garbage. it also needs to be large.
no can't help you. just wanted you to understand what the words really meant.

Oh fun! Go to your local dollar store and look through the kids section. You will find the absolute most disturbing stuff in there.

soap on a rope, or one of those mounted fish that move and sing. I think they're called "billy bass" or something goofy like that.
