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!

That looks perfect OP. Fun and quirky

A nice hot water bottle for the hottie.
We had a hottie in the eighties. I still call in to visit him on the rare occasion I'm back in the area. He is one of the nicest people I know.

And easy to carry on the day as we are doing secret Santa at a restaurant.

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.

They're not the Vipers. They're the melting snowflakes. Nice to see some can still have a bit of fun. 🤣

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

Exactly.

Wogan wouldn't survive around here now, such a shame.

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.

Oh do they. Off for a look....

SnoopySantaPaws · 07/12/2024 10:43

Calliopespa · 05/12/2024 23:34

Equally though, neither does she havdvto get offended. If she mentions he’s a hottie we’re going to have fun with that.

The 'fun' is fine, calling someone disgusting is nothing & calling them a perv is not fun when clearly not in jest.

Just had a horrible thought OP as that gift is quite unique. What if your young man’s mother is on MN and he shows her the lovely gift the nice lady at work has given him for Secret Santa 😳
You would have to flee the country in shame.

I love the wtf notebooks, unfortunately not suitable for where I work but depending on office culture I'd go for one of those and the wine thermometer someone suggested

I usually go for a mug, does he travel for work? If so a nice travel mug?

I wouldn't want a charity gift, especially as I may not like the charity and it's rather underwhelming

PlumpHobbit · 07/12/2024 11:44

The adventure book looks fine, no to the poop bit of a risk.

Is there a sports team he supports? If so something related to that?

@Polyp0 As middle aged women don't have a long history of raping younger men, and abusing their position of power over them, not all situations are exactly the same when reversed.
People saying the OP is the same as a male predator are virtue signalling in a really unpleasant manner that denies the facts of male sexual aggression by suggesting that young men are equally at risk from middle aged women, as young women are from middle aged men.

Maybe young men would have a different lived experience and tell you a very different tale. God knows you see plenty of older female teachers preying on teenage boys, that’s always gone on but only now do boys report it as in years gone by they were supposed to be grateful for the experience!

The same could apply to the workplace, can definitely think of a few women Ive know over the years who fancy themselves a Mrs Robinson type and have behaved very inappropriately with young men.

Agreed, some people just need to unclench a little and I guarantee EVERYBODY has said something inappropriate at sometime!

oh op. You’re embarrassing. The picture I have in my head of you….

This, bloody hell 😂
If you know he likes wine, maybe a wine gift set ?
You can get things like that on Amazon- mini bottle of wine with a glass etc.
Nice gift but still Secret Santa prices
