A white elephant is a supposedly valuable possession whose cost (particularly cost of upkeep) exceeds its usefulness, and it is therefore a liability.

It's a type of semi-gag Christmas gift you take to a white elephant party. It's usually something that you don't want.

White elephant gifts are gag gifts that are supposed to be funny.
