If your White Elephant game uses WEO Gifting, you can browse and select a gift directly through the curated WEO Gift Catalog. There's no need to shop at outside retailers or coordinate shipping yourself!
You can virtually wrap your gift and add it to the gift table. After the game, it will be purchased and shipped directly to the person who wins it.
Step 1: Join Your Game
Open the invitation link provided by your game organizer and join your White Elephant exchange. Once you've joined, open your game and navigate to the Gift Table tab.
Note: If your organizer has chosen to submit gifts on behalf of everyone, you won't need to select a gift yourself.
Step 2: Open the WEO Gift Catalog
On the Gift Table, click the green Add your gift! button to begin selecting your gift.
You'll be taken to the WEO Gift Catalog, where you can browse a curated selection of gifts based on the budget your organizer selected.
You don't need to purchase anything at this stage.
Step 3: Select Your Gift
Browse the available gifts and choose one you'd like to contribute to the exchange. Once you've selected your gift, you'll be taken directly to the virtual wrapping screen.
Remember, you're selecting a gift for the exchange - not necessarily the gift you'll take home!
Step 4: Virtually Wrap Your Gift
Choose from the available virtual wrapping options to keep your gift a surprise until game day. Once you've finished wrapping, submit your gift to the exchange.
Your gift is now ready for the game!
Step 5: Get Ready to Play
Once you've submitted your gift, you're all set for the exchange.
On game day, the game lead will share their screen and run the game, while players call out which gifts they want to unwrap or steal.
After the game ends, gifts are purchased and shipped directly to their winners.
Do I Have to Pay for My Gift Before the Game?
No! With White Elephant Online, gifts aren't purchased until after the exchange is complete.
Who pays depends on the settings selected by your game organizer:
- Players pay: Each participant purchases the gift they originally submitted after the game.
- Admin pays: The game organizer purchases all the gifts on behalf of the group.
If you're responsible for purchasing your gift, you'll complete payment from the End-of-Game Summary after the game. Once payment is complete, your gift is automatically submitted for fulfillment.
For more information, see Purchase Your Gift(s).
What About Shipping?
With WEO Gifting, gifts are shipped directly to their winners after payment.
You'll be asked to provide a shipping address as part of the WEO Gifting experience. Your address is collected privately and isn't shared with other players.
There's no need to contact the gift's winner or coordinate delivery yourself.
