Annual “secret santa is a cunt” thread

[Fuckyousanta]

Due to circumstances secret Santa was going to be my only Xmas present this year

So I dutifully signed up. I researched the person I was buying for. I fucking stalked them. I pulled in my mates discount and got them a gorgeous little something from their favourite beauty line. There were practically tears when she opened it.

You know what I got? YOU KNOW WHAT I GOT?

My name. Spelled out in plastic beads. On a bit of wire. With a little clip on the end like a lanyard. I got a beaded name lanyard. Made out of plastic. And they were clearly short an A so used an O instead (no caps)

There were nearly tears of a different kind.

Buy yourself something lovely, be your own Santa because that sneaky secret little bastard ruins the Christmassy feels

Even if you've no money now for a present to yourself, please write an iou for what you really want, and aim to get it in the sales.

It's awful thats your only gift but you can't rely on secret santa mostly they are crap. I've always tried to go for the comedy gift, ij my experience it is very rare that a person buys something useful and nice.

I refused secret Santa this year because I don’t need any more shit!
Get your self something. Hide it and then surprised when you find it!

My secret Santa is tomorrow night. I've also done my research and bought something, in my opinion, lovely. Last year I got oven gloves, not even nice ones, so this year the only way is up!

That's why I wouldn't spend too much effort unless it's someone I like. I am the secret santa to someone I dislike this year, I just got him booze, not gonna spend any thinking and energy to get him something special.

My colleague recieved a tinned of "seal opened" chocolate, he thought someone played a joke and put something else in it but no it was just chocolate! I think he probably have threw it in the bin when he got home. I got to say, i got the best present, even the packaging was perfect, i think it's got to be someone I get along with!

My last year one was rubbish but i gave it to someone else, that named beads is just out of order!

I gave up on secret santas a while back, put lots of thought in got pound shop tat back.

The last one that I put any thought in to was regifted to someone else in the school so at least I know that someone likes it and uses it.

OP buy yourself something nice to make up for the disappointment.
Last year Secret Santa was the only present I had to buy/got too and it sucks when you are in that position. and

Do you want to do a secret Santa with me op

I think to most people, secret santa is just this little itty-bitty thing (esp if it's at work).

If you don't have to buy presents for other people, then you're probably better off financially than most of us at this point of the year, so please, please treat yourself.

I'd send you a present!

Secret Santa is always my only present too. Last year my secret Santa 'didn't have time' so I got nothing. I was not impressed.

In previous years it's been Poundland shit. Went straight in the bin.

Sorry your present was rubbish. Go and treat yourself (I know it's not the same).

This is why I take the £10 I would have spent on secret Santa and I buy something for myself I actually like and want

Our secret Santa opening is tomorrow. I’ll let you know if they were an arse then.

The worst SS I have known is someone buying a perimenapausal woman liver, in reference to her periods. I wish I was joking...

Why do people still do this???? It is such a waste of time, money and resources.
