What do you think of this secret Santa present?

[crappycrapcrap]

Budget £10. New job Xmas event, I don’t know recipient - female aged 30-40. I’ve bought 2 for £10.80.

just curious if you got these would you like them?

I don’t have any practical use for them. Except for gin. Right now.

I like them.

Opting out of it lol. I hate secret Santa, I hate buying tat for people and receiving a dove toiletry set in return.

But I would prefer those glasses over a hot chocolate gift set or something as personal to people’s taste as perfume. But that’s why I hate secret Santa because it’s impossible to buy something to please everyone.

My fav secret Santa gift was a little cactus wearing a Santa hat. I kept him alive for years

I’d like them. They are unusual. Everyone needs glasses. Better than most of the other ideas mentioned here.

I like them. Makes a change from a mug, chocolates, socks or booze.

I find Secret Santa stressful too but would be really happy with these.

I think they look like something that someone bought from a charity shop for 50p each. Dreadful. 😖 And the recipient is under 40 too! It's hard to say if she will like them, as you don't know the person, but my DC and their groups of friends are in their late 20s and their 30s, and they would chuck these straight into a charity shop.

Fluffy socks and chocolates and wine and scarf and gloves may sound like good gifts, but they won't be for everyone... I don't drink alcohol, and neither do a number of people I know. DH gave up booze 8 years ago, and for about 4 years after, people STILL bought alcoholic beers, and wines for him. He just gave them away to other people. I gave up a year and a quarter ago, and got a bottle of alcoholic wine from someone for my birthday this year!

Giving booze is such a lazy gift, really! It's OK as a stocking filler if you've got the person 3-4 other gifts, but as the only gift it's lazy. (And it's a shit gift if they don't bloody drink alcohol!) Also, I have received numerous scarves as gifts, and have about 8 of them. Yet I have never EVER worn a scarf. So why anyone thinks it's a suitable gift just baffles me.

'Perfume From Next' would go to the charity shop too. I only wear Chanel.

Secret Santa is such a dumb thing anyway. Time it was consigned to the history books. It's just encourages buying tat that people don't want, or non-tat that people don't want. And people have to spend money they don't want to spend, on some random they barely know!

Oh, and people can pipe down with the 'people are so MISERABLE' chants! The OP asked for opinions. People are giving them! Just because some people think the objects the OP has bought are hideous, that doesn't make them MISERABLE, it just means they have a different opinion to you! People are allowed to have a different opinion to you ya know!!!

!

I like them. Send them to me. I'll give you the money you paid. If you don't trust yourself to have done right, no worries, but what makes you think other people's opinions will be her either? There are so many people saying not to their taste. They are to mine, but I like quirky and different. Other people don't. Anyway, send them my way if you do a U turn.

Honestly? No I wouldn't. I like all matching glasses, quite simple, not random flowery glasses. Sorry. They would be passed on to the charity shop.

I think they’re ok.

They're not my cup of tea but I'm very boring with my glassware, I like it to be plain and unadorned. I wouldn't be pissed off though, I'd either give them to my mam who would definitely love them, or use them as tea light holders or something.

Love them.

Would far rather receive these than random Xmas themed tat. They're interesting and unusual. If the recipient really doesn't like them she can always re gift or charity them.

Me too!!

I have decided I now need to get myself down to Urban Outfitters

same!

I’m in that age range, could tell instantly that they are from a ‘cool’ shop. Would be very happy to receive them. Secret Santa is such a gamble, just stick to the price limit and don’t worry about it too much.

Not to my taste to be honest.

I always think a nice scented candle is usually a safe bet woth a pair of nice slippers or cosy socks

They look nicer in your photo.

They still aren't to my taste, but my friend would love them!

secret Santa is such a minefield,

No, everybody doesn't need more glasses!

Yeah, me too, I don't like anything printed/painted on glasses. All clear glass, all a shape & size I like

I think fill them with choccies. Perhaps Lindor mixed flavours.

I don't love them or hate them.

I think 1 would be better, wrapped nicely with some chocs and a tot bottle or with a hot chocolate and a pair of bed socks inside.

Sorry but they are awful …. Very granny ish.

No.

Quite old fashioned and what I'd call fugly. Sorry.

I can't use scented candles, but tbh pretty much every secret Santa wouldn't be for me, but I'd appreciate the thought & pass them on (not as a present) to my neighbours or friends who would enjoy them. It's all good.
