The Unlucky Gift Choice

Brie shared the ordeal in a TikTok video titled “Guess what I got at a White Elephant,” where she described the anxiety of choosing her gift as her turn came at unlucky number 13. Feeling overwhelmed, she even asked her boyfriend to pick for her, but he refused. Left with no choice, she selected the most beautifully wrapped box, only to find the supernatural game inside. “I wasn’t feeling it at all,” she explained, emphasizing her discomfort with the gift.

A Reluctant Owner

Hoping someone else would take the Ouija board, Brie left it at the table. However, no one claimed it, forcing her to bring it home. Reluctantly, she left the board in her car overnight, calling the experience “not fun.” Her boyfriend, also superstitious, didn’t want it in the house or even in the car. The next day, Brie devised a plan to rid herself of the eerie board.

The Return Plan

Brie returned the Ouija board to Target, despite not having a receipt. She explained her situation to the store, saying she had received it during a White Elephant exchange and didn’t want to keep it. To her relief, Target issued her store credit without issue. “Shout-out to them for still giving me credit,” she said, grateful to close the chapter on her spooky gift.

Viewer Reactions and Shared Stories

The TikTok video quickly gained attention, with viewers sharing their own odd White Elephant stories. “I got a live crab once,” one user commented, while another joked about Brie’s misfortune, saying, “Number 13 and you got the Ouija board.” Some users revealed they had also received Ouija boards in the past, while others expressed their reluctance to ever participate in a White Elephant game again.

A Lighthearted Takeaway

Despite the unusual experience, Brie remains a fan of holiday gift exchanges. She told the Daily Dot she plans to participate again next season, saying, “Of course! I love White Elephant.” Her lighthearted attitude resonated with viewers, who appreciated her ability to laugh at the bizarre situation.

Turning Spooky into Funny

 

Brie’s viral TikTok highlights the unpredictability of White Elephant exchanges and the humor that can arise from holiday mishaps. For her, it was a reminder that quick thinking—and a good return policy—can turn an uncomfortable moment into a funny memory.
