NTTGPR: Tell me about white elephant gifts you've given/received

I have 3 parties in the next 2 weeks that have white elephant gift exchanges.
What do you usually bring? Something awesome people will fight over? Something awkward? Something sexual? Something laying around the house? Something hideous?
What's the best or craziest thing you ever got?
I've only been to 2 and I ended up with vibrating **** rings once and a gift card to Starbucks the other time... So my ideas are all over the place. hehe.

They are where you find something laying around your house and wrap it up to randomly exchange with other people.
Everyone who comes brings a random gift without a tag on it. Then usually by random draw you pick one and open it... then the next person grabs a present, they can keep theirs or switch with any open present. It's usually pretty hilarious.
Per Wikipedia:
This game is sometimes called a Yankee Swap, Black Santa, Chinese Gift Exchange, Dirty Santa, Naughty Santa, Thieving Secret Santa, Parcel Pass, Christmas Swap Thing, Greedfest, or Pollyanna. In south central Pennsylvania it is also called "Kamikaze Gift Exchange".[1][2]

This too.
Everyone puts the gifts in the middle of the room and then draws a number. You go in numerical order and pick presents and people can steal your gift if they come after you or pick from the pile. The ones I have been to have always involved inappropriate and wacky gifts and they are always hilarious.

I always like bringing things that people will fight over, so normally I do a giftcard
One time I did get an electric oral B toothbrush (my cousins are dentists) and I still use it 7 years later (of course with a new bristle head) 
ETA: That same year, my DH ended up with a huge TV remote. It's about the size of a 15 in computer screen.

We've received wine, mug gift card to Starbucks, MM Star Wars candy dispenser with MMs, scratch offs and the best we've gotten is the book What's Your Poo Telling You.
That's such a fun idea! FX for you!
P.S. We have wrapping paper fights, too. It's tradition.
