I need to clarify this. I think funny but not "useless." $20-25 budget.

lottery tickets/ scratch offs

Budget under $50

Ransom Notes game
Yeti cup
Tupperware (Snapware) from Costco
Those freezeable food storage containers at Costco
Heated blanket or Cozy wearable blanket
Travel wine glasses or acrylic wine stemless wine glasses

Cheaper under 20
Milk frother
Luggage scale
Packing cubes

Something useful or a joke?

The biggest hits at my white elephant parties are lottery scratchers, fancy chocolates, an assortment of hot sauces, a burrito blanket.

Marshall’s & TJMaxx is FULL of ideas

Basically anything my in-laws have given me over the last few years (most of which I am never certain whether it's a gag or not) the best was a neon-colored full scale sunset scene on a 100% (and highly flammable) polyester SHOWER CURTAIN

Another was a pair of equally flammable jogger-style pants, black and printed all over with large neon mushrooms. Size: child's large

One year there was a box of underwear - also flammable- neatly packaged so all were displayed and a giant SIZE XXL

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. The frequently gift me a box of odd plastic stuff from the thrift store and/or the amazon resale store in their city.

Whats the budget?
A good quality blanket
Gift card plus some good quality chocolate

All are adults (19 and up) but SIL will not like anything super inappropriate.

Need a good idea. Anyone?
