Dubbed "Dirty Santa" in the South, white elephant parties are essentially the gift-giving equivalent of The Hunger Games. You never really know your friends until you see how hard they'll throw down for a Star Wars-themed Lego set while in attendance. Beauty items are a surefire crowd-pleaser among all guests, and regardless of the price limitations set by your host, there's a gift set out there that will fit the bill — not to mention, get stolen at least three times. We've rounded up 10 items each organized by price point, guaranteed to make your gift the most popular one at the party.
