Secret Santa presents

Presume most of you are involved in one, usually with the office.

Think I've hit a real low point this year. Got a well-used, poor condition, second or third hand copy of Bret Easton Ellis' The Rules of Attraction - at least I know who probably got it for me, though.

What's the best/worst Secret Santa you've got?

  • I was given a 'Toilet Golf Set" a couple of years ago. 

    The idea was you set up the holes and the hazards in the loo before you squat and then with the aid of a short putter you attempt to hole out whilst having a dump.

  • Twice in five years I pulled my own name out of the hat. I kept schtum and bought myself something I wanted.

    Quality strategy that. Should've bought yourself a laptop or something (if you needed one!) and have everyone marvel at what a generous Secret Santa you had...
  • Received a bottle of 'Old Spice' aftershave this year. I know I'm now in my forties but come on, really??

  • Wasn't involved this year as I fall between two teams.

    Was quite glad!

    Drew a lady in her early 50's who is a member of our team, brought her a yankee candle gift set which just about came in the £10 maximum spend, quite pleased with myself.

    Saw her at the party that evening, casually asked her what she got in her secret santa, of course the reply was yankee candles, me:- did you like it, her:- no not really!


    Bitch!

    Roland keeps trying to give a football club away as a secret Santa present, but nobody wants it.
