To ask what Secret Santa tat you've been given/seen someone get?

[keepingmypeaches]

Best yet... My MIL received a bright pink beanie hat (100% Polyester), that says 'Babe' across the front

My own Secret Santa gift was fairly mild and nice - A mug with my initial on and a pair of Christmas socks. My husband received a beer glass and a pint to go with it last year. That went down well. This year, he got a crappy 'Santa lol jokes' booklet and a party popper. He was most displeased after forking out for a nice chutney range set and international tea assortment set.

What horrors have you received/seen someone receive?

[MissCalamity]

I seem to get generic bath sets Although last year I got cards of humanity which are in a drawer somewhere.
When I was 4 months pregnant I got condoms

[Sparklesocks]

A guy I worked with got a pop up wine glass...despite it being quite well known he was an alcoholic and sober for 10 years

[Justkeepsmiling12]

£10 secret santa...I received a make up bag....that I saw later on in body care for £1!!!! And I don't wear make up!!!

[cowfacemonkey]

Mine was shit and I’m really pissed off I wasted a tenner on a nice gift for someone else. I’m opting out next year

My office have secret santa and we have to buy from a charity shop. Still ended up with crap but at least it is not plastic tat and the money went to a good cause.

In a work (not so) secret Santa I once saw someone give her colleague a 12 pack of toilet roll and when challenged shrug her shoulders and say ‘well, you are full of shit, Alan’

A plastic snowman that had a sort of tube sticking out his belly. You filled him with chocolate balls that shot out the tube. The chocolates had been half eaten.

Another was a mini toiletries set that still had the tag on addressed to the person who gave it me haha!

A male GP colleague of mine once got a bath pillow shaped like a pair of breasts .

[Calzone]

I honestly cannot bear it.

I sat through 2 secret Santa at school and watched the Same person being forgotten twice.
She was mortified.

Utterly mortified.

And the horror on people’s faces as they receive a crappy gift knowing they will never find out who gave it to them.

Awful.

I once received a very ordinary pack of table candles.

[kennythekangaroo]

Twerk pong - 2 cardboard boxes you strap on then twerk while people throw balls in it.

Totally not me.

[Threebuchaills]

A purple nylon bath loofah! Worth about 50p in primark.

[sunshineNdaisies]

a plastic flashing pint glass with some slogan on it which I forget. Clearly poundland type present. It was a secret santa gift.

I dont drink, I've never drank alcohol, all my colleagues knew this, especially the one I'm pretty sure bought me this.

I was really pissed off considering I'd made an effort with my secret santa gift.

Thank fuck my current team dont do secret santas

[MrsChopper]

We just did ours and I was pleasantly surprised we all bought each other something nice e.g. xmas lush bath bombs and little drink sets!

We once did a £1 secret santa. All gifts ended up in a big Santa sack and ypu picked a present at random. It was all tat from the poundshop obvs. But it was fun and didn't cost a lot!

[Madein1995]

We done one this year 😀 things such as Lego lunch boxes, marshmallow willies and poundstretcher socks were bought 😁

The majority had nice stuff - gin set, tee shirt, allotment sign, rum set, Yankee candle set, wine, pampering set, vodka set etc ... But the Lego box was hilarious!

Big fat zero whoever got my name didn't bother...

Chocolate body paint from the office sleeze.

Friends have a purposely crap secret Santa (pound shop) this year I got walkie talkies. They are going in the DSs stockings!

[Jaxtellerswife]

A girl in my old office used to have extremely dark orangey fake tan on all the time. Very noticeable, but each to their own. Anyway, a man from the same office (her ex as well) presented her with a tin of ronseal 😬 in front of everyone.
If looks could kill...

[BooHasAPressieForYou]

I've done it once and never again. £10 limit so I found out the lady I was buying for was a big fan of writing letters and of art in general, so I bought her a lovely writing set and some colouring pencils. Put lots of effort in.
I got naff all
My person "forgot".
Everyone else was mortified.
Found out from the organiser it was the cow I bought for.
She even showed off on Instagram about her wonderful gift.

[Fstar]

Quite often got alcohol even though everyone knew i didnt drink, really pissed me off. Decided not to take part one year because id honestly prefer to give the cash to charity.

[Mammyloveswine]

I once got a box of Quaker porridge oats... My colleague once got the "50 shades of grey" board game

I've no idea what to get this year. I have a new colleague who I know is doing slimming world... I thought about getting her a sw cookbook but as she won't know it's me that bought it will she take offence and think someone thinks she needs to lose weight (even tho she doesn't!). Might get her a nice mug for work and some fancy coffees... (our limit is £5)
