Worst secret santa ever

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

I have ended up with a young man, who I only know to say, 'Hello' to in the corridor. I'm pretty sure that he doesn't drink. Budget is a fiver - what on earth do I buy? Arghhhh - usually I really enjoy choosing a gift but this year, I'm stumped.

[LikeSilver]

5x scratch cards?

[meandjulio]

Boots voucher.

[Patrickstarisabadbellend]

This! It's a fiver on amazon plus free delivery.

[ClashCityRocker]

Nice chocolates or biscuits. Worse case scenario, he can regift. He probably won't be expecting anything life changing, tbh.

Or scratch cards, or one of those table quiz things?

matalan have some mugs with initials on for £2.00, you could pack one out with hot choc, marshmallows etc

[BaronessBomburst]

A casserole dish and a jar of Chicken Tonite.

[ClashCityRocker]

A nandos gift pack!

[TessTackle]

Bacon mayonnaise!

[Guitargirl]

A gift card for a coffee place, whatever you have near you- costa, Starbucks.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Yurgh to that, Patrick. Absolutely no to so called 'jokey' crap generally.

Mug idea a good one maybe.

Thanks, folks.

Thermal mug and if there's any money left some coffee or teabags.

We had one once where each person had to open the gift in front of everyone else and then guess out loud who it was from. Excruciating. Thank goodness I'm not in one this year.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Thinking of it, I don't think I've ever seen him drinking a hot drink either.
?????????????????????????????

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Nice name, Mimsy.

A tie or cuff links?

[MsAspreyDiamonds]

We played bad santa last year where we could swap & upgrade our original gift. Was fun. I would buy him a coffee card or a mini game.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Tie or cufflinks for just a fiver would be pretty awful ones though, I think, no?

[AllMimsyWereTheBorogoves]

Some ideas here. Many might be useful for someone you knew much better. Apart from scratchcards, the only one I can see being even remotely possible in your circs is the hollowed out book thing but I don't think I'd chance it.

Cool socks? DH loves these... Well he will when he gets a load for Christmas!
socks

Something from Lush

Shower gel

Gloves

Sweets

Lynx gift set? Gregg's £5 voucher - ds is getting one in his stocking and I know it will be one of his top presents!

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

I must be really awkward. These ideas just aren't working for me. Nobody over the age of 17 wears Lynx, do they? And I'd feel really weird giving shower gel to a man I barely know.

Sock link not working, but could be an idea.

Think it'll end up being sweets or chocolates, but it seems such a cop-out.
