White elephant gifts don’t have to be goofy or random — they can be chic, thoughtful, and the kind everyone secretly hopes they’ll end up with. Whether your budget is under $50 or under $100, these gifts feel luxe without being over the top. Here are 20 elevated ideas across five categories, curated to make your next gift exchange memorable, fun, and totally Viri Good Things-approved.

Ruled by Venus, Libras (September 23 – October 22) are the zodiac’s aesthetes—drawn to beauty, harmony, and refined details. With an eye for balance and a love for luxury, they appreciate thoughtful gifts that feel both stylish and intentional. Their signature colors—soft pinks, airy blues, and elegant neutrals—mirror their calm, graceful energy, while gemstones like sapphire, opal, and lapis lazuli align with their charm and clarity. These curated picks are designed to match Libra’s polished personality: equal parts indulgent, romantic, and beautifully balanced.

Fall has a way of slowing us down—in the best way. Crisp mornings, cozy evenings, and that golden-hour light that makes everything feel special. It’s also the season of gathering, gifting, and little luxuries that make the shift from summer feel intentional. Whether you’re shopping for a friend, a host, or even yourself (we’re all about self-gifting here), these fall-forward picks are designed to bring warmth and style to the season.
