15 White Elephant Gifts Under $50 That Are Anything but Ordinary

Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash ($46)

If you're stumped on what to bring to your next White Elephant exchange — or the group decided on a slightly elevated version this year — you can't go wrong with Aesop's hand soap. It's the definition of practical luxury: it cleanses, gently exfoliates, and smells so good they'll be tempted to buy a backup immediately. They say the best gifts are the ones people actually use, and this one nails that idea. Learn more about it in our Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash review.

Editor Quote: "Even though I initially worried the exfoliating granules might leave my skin feeling dry, I can report after a week of using it exclusively at one pump per wash that my hands feel as soft as ever." - Marisa Petrarca, contributing shopping editor
