Top 5 White Elephant Gifts Under $25

Cross those last-minute gifts off your list because we've rounded up five treats under $25 that are sure to earn you the title of Best Gifter at this year's white elephant exchange or secret Santa party.

French Bittersweet Chocolate Truffles

Delight any chocolate lover with over a half pound of ultra creamy dark chocolate truffles. Generously dusted with cocoa powder and presented in a charming wicker basket, the confections resemble rare black Périgord truffles (of the non-chocolate variety), making a perfectly luxurious gift.

Maple Candy Gift Box from Brown Family Farms

In New England, a white elephant gift exchange is called a Yankee swap and maple sugar candy is called wicked good. This box holds two dozen pieces of Vermont-made, melt-in-your-mouth, 100% grade A maple candies.

Niederegger Marzipan Tortes

Almond and chocolate is as delightful a match as Christmas and, well, chocolate. From German marzipan master, Niederegger, come discs of the finest marzipan enrobed in dark chocolate. Choose either the classic marzipan and chocolate torte or the version made with chocolate marzipan and black cherry filling.

Dukkah Dipping Set

A bottle of California extra virgin olive oil accompanies one spicy and one classic dukkah, a traditional Egyptian blend of roasted sesame seeds, almonds and hazelnuts with cumin, coriander and salt. Dip crusty bread in the oil and then in dukkah and enjoy as the warmth of the spices is heightened by the richness of the olive oil.

Torrone from Pariani

Incredibly rare and flavorful Sicilian pistachios, fresh egg whites and wildflower honey make Pariani's torrone a sublime example of the classic Italian nougat. Complex, intense and unique, this is a culinary jewel that, now that we think of it, you might want to keep for yourself.
