If you need some help finding a White Elephant gift for a TV fanatic, we’ve got you covered. We are here to bring you the most hilarious apparel inspired by the most beloved shows of all time. There’s something for everybody, from fans of classic cartoons to anyone obsessed with a certain Manhattan-based sitcom.
Below are our picks for the best White Elephant presents for fans of a specific show or series:
White Elephant is often confused with Secret Santa or Dirty Santa. These are both gift exchange games enjoyed around the world at Christmastime, but they have key differences.
This is the low-down on the high-stakes (or not) White Elephant:
Once the price limit is established, each participant draws the name of another participant out of a hat. The name you draw will be the recipient of your gift. It’s amajorparty foul to tell anyone who you’re giving a gift to, so keep your lips sealed.
At the party, the Secret Santa gifts are exchanged. If everything went according to plan, no one figures out who their gifts came from until after they’ve been unwrapped.
Again, “White Elephant” and “Secret Santa” are not interchangeable, especially when taking into consideration the people you might be playing with.
Dirty Santa is an entirely different ball game. The rules are essentially the same as Secret Santa, but playing Dirty Santa gives you the chance to completely screw someone over with an embarrassing, gross, or just downright terrible gift.
In games of Dirty Santa, it’s common to see presents like sex toys, live fishing bait, and cans of beans exchanged, as well as books purchased from Goodwill or VHS copies of cringe-worthy movies from our childhoods.
The goal with Dirty Santa is to make the recipient of your gift regret that they ever agreed to play. However, the opposite is the case with Secret Santa! In a game of Secret Santa, you want to get the recipient of your gift something they’d really love.
So, what do you get if you draw the name of someone who’s a die-hard fan of a certain TV show? We’ve got 10 ideas you’ll definitely want to look at.
Check out the best White Elephant gifts for your friend who loves TV almost as much as they love Christmas:
Thisvery quotable phrase from a certain live TV series has been thrown around for decades now, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a millennial (or boomer) who hasn’t heard it. If you need a gift for someone who’s a devoted fan of late-night TV or a specific Scottish actor (rest in peace), this comfy shirt is exactly what you’re looking for.
Available in multiple colors and sizes, this soft and comfy“Suck It Trebek” shirt, a far cry from the low-quality gag apparel that often gets passed around at White Elephant exchanges. It’s the perfect present for someone that youreallycare about.
The viral success of this dirty but catchy music video can’t be understated. The music video was one of the most-shared YouTube clips ever, and it’s still quoted all the time today. If you know someone who knows all of the words to the song and sings it all the time, this ugly Christmas sweater is an ideal present for them. You’ll be seeing them wearing this sweater to every holiday party for years to come.
Our “Dick in a Box” ugly Christmas sweater is available in multiple sizes, and it looks great on both men and women. It’s probably not the best gift for a kid, though, or your grandma.
Taste the meat, not the heat!

Halloween may be over, but it’s always the right time for a gift inspired by one of the best animated TV specials of all time. This is the perfect t-shirt for fans of a certain round-headed, yellow shirt-wearing little fellow and his blanket-toting best friend. It’s a nostalgia trip for anyone who remembers their night spent waiting for that freaking giant pumpkin to show up.
Our “I Believe in The Great Pumpkin” tee has a retro look and feel, and it comes in a wide array of colors and sizes. We’re personally big fans of the design on a purple t-shirt.
Remember, no disintegrations.
There are plenty of bounty hunters prowling around in a galaxy far, far, away, but there’s no question about who everyone’s favorite is. It’s hands-down the jetpack-wearing, blaster-firing badass who got eaten by the sand monster (RIP).
This ultra-comfy Fett Bounty Hunting t-shirt features that iconic bounty hunter’s likeness, plus a retro design based on his role in the movies and his upcoming TV series.
Netflix binges have definitely been a thing for a while, but they got alotmore popular when the global pandemic hit. For many folks around the globe, being stuck at home for months meant watching as many shows as possible.

This shirt is the perfect gift for anyone whose favorite show centers around a bumbling group of trailer park inhabitants and the ridiculous lives they lead. Featuring the logo of the show’s very own Sunnyvale Shithawks, this hilarious tee probably isn’t one anyone would want to wear to the office on casual Friday. Still, it’ll definitely be a favorite for fans of the series.
Our Shithawks tee is available in multiple colors and sizes, and so is its counterpart,the Sunnyvale Samsquanches t-shirt!
