do your companies do this?

we do every year, and the theme for your present is "filthy"

the trade in harmony in soho doubles due to us making a surging lunchtime dash there 2 days before our xmas party

last year i couldn't make the xmas party, but i learned that all the secret santa presents got left in a bag in the venue and they had a very strange conversation when they called up to see if they belonged to us!

we open the presents around the table after a few bevvies, and its a sight to behold! passing things round, trying things on (not out!)..... shocking!

    the party is only really for less senior staff here. no board members attending, although this year we have ops managers coming which will be interesting. the majority of us at head office are females and its organised by a woman anyway. the boys are more likey to make a complaint!!

    I'd also like to state that it was just the finance department and a few other office staff that were involved :-)

    Buy her a journal or scrapbook so she can make a diary of her pregnancy and first months with her child? 

    Or condoms and the address of the nearest foster home?

    Get her a chocolate willy - safer than the real thing in her hands, clearly.

    Got a bald millwall this year. Considering the weather at the moment I think a nice charlton hat will sort him right out.
