I'm interested in the weird, the wacky and devilish gifts people give at these weird yearly events.
Here's the highlights:
A pair of "Handerpants" Underwear for your hand. http://handerpants.com/
A Handicorn: http://mcphee.com/shop/handicorn.html
Someone made a "kit" comprised of a blindfold, AXE body Spray, Zip ties and wait for it.. a Summer Sausage..
I got a box of smoked salmon, so I'm cool.
The first one I attended at our company, I received a can of "spotted dick" pudding.
I gave a fat-suit I picked up at a rummage sale for $5.
Those handerpants might be good things, specifically inside a pair of driving gloves on a hot, long weekend.
I got a flashlight and a book called fact or flush for toilet reading
An obviously used and not cleaned out coffee grinder.

This year I gave a box with 3 gifts and a note:
"Dear person,
My grandpa died this year. Don't feel bad, I was the only person who liked him. He really only cared about 3 things in his entire life. My dearly departed grandma, booze, and titties. I hope this carries on his memory"
The boxes consisted of:
1. breast pump from a thrift store
2. Urn (complete with fireplace ashes)
3. Bottle of vodka inside the urn
The chick that picked it, picked it because she got to go first and it was the biggest/heaviest box, was kinda mortified. She really thought there were people ashes. As she was getting ready to leave for the night, I did inform her they were not Grandma's ashes. Everyone thought it was a great gag.

there's a "device" for um, "implanting" items up ones anoos, like eggs or ice cubes (there's a matching tray apparently). much, much, awkward hilarity ensued.
I like to give a sledge hammer in a misleading box.
I like to get a Starbucks gift card, a receipt of the gift card, and a framed selfie of me drinking a drink bought with the said gift card. Usually leaves about $1.80 on the card.
I got this:

and this:

just put the "stepped in doo" thing on my friend's shoe yesterday, we'll see when he notices.
At one white elephant party, my wife brought a Chick-Fil-A cow calendar... with the coupons cut out.

Side note:
I'd never heard of Yankee Swap. I've only heard of it called "White Elephant" or "Dirty Santa"
