Secret Santa tat for £1 - help!

[intotomorrow]

Have been tasked with buying secret Santa in the office with a £1 limit and 'tat' as the theme.
It is harder than it looks.
Anyone seen anything extra cheap and tatty?

Can you pop into a charity shop and see if they have a bargain bin? You can’t buy much for £1 nowadays!

(Or ask friends if they have any tat they want to get rid of and pretend you bought it from a charity shop 🤣)

Buoy through worst looking christmas tree de decoration you can find in home bargains or poundland

Appalling mugs in charity shops us usually a good one. You'll even find royal wedding tat which is my favourite to buy people 😂

So this stuff will probably just end up in landfill :(

Or just call it a "secret landfill fest"! How we all laughed!

Ugh, so depressing that they've made tat the actual theme, it's probably all going to end up in landfill! Before I saw that tat was the theme I was going to suggest something like a book in good condition from a charity shop.

Buy a biro pen. It will at least be used rather than just buying to put in the bin.

Off to the carboot sale for you.

We always go to charity shops for our SS. They are a good source of Christmas decorations which make good, neutral gifts, or weird books, puzzles and games.

I'd get something that might at least have some use, rather than absolute tat. Who decides a theme like that??? 🙄
-A scratch card
-Pen
-Note pad
-packet of crisps/small chocolate bar

I'd probably get a scratchcard but if it has to be a 'thing' then Poundland is the obvious place to look.

Literally Christmas 'tat' ...

I commented above you, and even looked at the poundland website for inspiration. I actually couldn't find a single thing on there for £1!!!

Thanks everyone for the replies so far. I think charity shop may be the answer. Or a Biro!

I'd buy a trolley coin, at least there's a chance it would get used.

That's a brilliant idea. I'm always losing them so I'd be happy with that. Unlike when I got a Christmas pudding shower hat when the theme wasn't tat and the limit was £10 and I'd bought some nice chocolates. Few years ago so £10 went further back then.

a hologram picture that changed from Jesus to Mary was a winner for this at a similar work secret Santa I was in a few years ago. We were in a different country so I can’t help you find it, but this is the nearest thing

I just wouldn't be involved, I don't "get" secret santa as a general thing but this is extra bleurgh .
