Ok so it's not quite as awful as the title sounds.
We do Secret Santa at work in a team of 10. We're taking gifts in on Monday. The spend limit was £20 and we're all fairly good friends, open with each other, can tease and mess about etc.
The person I got dropped some huge hints to the air around her that she could do with a new purse - fab, I knew what to get.
So I've bought said purse, which cost £18. I found it in a factory outlet, and the rrp was £140
It's beautiful, a very well known (if overpriced IMO) brand, real leather and all the rest. It was the last one there, there were no others with such a massive discount and I (guiltily as I bought it) had a suspicion it may well have been mispriced. Anyway, it qualifies as my bargain of the year, nothing else has come close.
I said to dh I was going to leave the label on showing the rrp. It's the type of talking point that we would discuss afterwards - a shared 'OMG how was that so cheap?' type of convo. I've got no intention of suggesting I actually spent that amount and it's not meant in a 'wow look what I bought you' way at ALL. I just thought it would be interesting iyswim?
Dh thinks this is a very poor show and I should take the tag off.
AIBU?

AIBU?
To leave the price tag on a secret Santa gift so that the recipient knows how much the item is worth?
