We have a very nice “young man” in the office and I have to get him a £15 secret Santa. He’s been here for 2 months, close to half my age and very easy on the eye. No idea what to get - please help me mumsnet!

I think you should have a cold shower.

Gross. Why does what he looks like have an impact on what you buy him. Have a word with yourself.

Hmmm not sure

Ferrero Rochers??

More in that I don’t want to embarrass myself which I obviously already have!

why would you embarrass yourself? This is so weird. Imagine a 50 odd year old man asking what to get for the young ‘easy on the eye’ girl in the office. It’s just horrible.

Lollollol2020 · 05/12/2024 23:16

the only thing I know is he likes wine but that’s pretty boring. Basically looking for suggestions … I’m not a lech, honest!

He will never suspect that you rather like him. And you can help animals at the same time.

Comedy socks, OP.

Stripper music & spray cream?

@RogueFemale that’s not a bad shout!

Why do you think it’s acceptable to talk about a colleague like that? Men get ripped apart for it. And what does any of it have to do with a secret Santa gift.

You just sound like the office perv.

In which case why does it matter that this colleague is attractive?

Calliopespa · 05/12/2024 23:24

G string?

eggandonion · 05/12/2024 23:25

Comedy socks are really expensive, for socks. Great idea. My son likes a jazzy sock, as the fashioistas say.

Most young men are heavily into moisturiser and smelling nice. A £15 mens skincare gift set is what youre after

Lollollol2020 · 05/12/2024 23:27

I was kind of hoping I’d get some secret Santa suggestions. I was trying to be light hearted but I forgot about the vipers.

no, you don’t get to blame other people for your shortcomings.

People aren’t being vipers, they’re rightly pulling you up for being disrespectful and frankly gross about someone you work with.

Oh dear I really have upset some of you…

FFS, OP made a lighthearted comment about him, she is not a disgusting perv. Lighten up folks, you don’t have to get offended about everything

Calliopespa · 05/12/2024 23:33

Why not keep it simple oP and just get a Christmassy treat. Ottolenghi do small bags of Christmas shortbread snowflakes or chocolate brownie stars for about a fiver.
