Is a gas mask from Budk too weird of a white elephant gift?

I have three parties where I have to bring $10 white elephant gifts: work, new in-laws(married for 3 months now) and some friends. I think it would be funny at the friends party but is it too weird for a new in-law or work party?

If you are like me and fear for your life every time you go over to see your mother-in-law then I would bring the gas mask one way or another.

That depends on your new in-laws, and work. And, since you have to ask, it's probably too weird.

Unless you are trying to develop a reputation as an eccentric, in which case this is probably OK.

I think its great. But I do have a weird sense of humor. As long as you think it's funny, I say go for it.

I think it's perfect, especially if anyone at work or one of the in-laws has an issue with flatulence.

Which party has the most Doctor Who fans? Take the gas mask to that one.

Nothing is too weird for a white elephant party. Except a brown elephant. That's just crazy.

I'd take it to the party that has either stoners or survivalists. Either of them would find it useful.

Any place that has the requirement of a "white elephant" party, deserves what it gets.

@pamfenway: True but most call it that to avoid the stigma of a "booze swap".

Go for it. I went to a White Elephant party last year and the most sought-after item was a rubber whoopee cushion (cue blatty-blatt or high-pitched whistle type flatulence sound) so I really think a gas mask would be much sought-after and fought over.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
