Top White Elephant Gifts of 2017

Each year around this time since 2010, we've spotlighted the top White Elephant gifts as chosen by the folks at ARC Thrift Stores. And this year, the five selections, pictured below, contain a twist for yours truly. Turns out I already own an item just like the number one choice and consider it to be a treasure than transcends the White Elephant concept.
