I am thinking about getting a colleague a mug with her new car on it and photoshop her face on to it too, so it looks like she is driving it. She just got her car and adores it so i think it would be funny to give her this and I think she would find it funny too. She is a friend on Facebook so I can get the photos from there.

I am just wondering if it could be seen as a bit creepy / unsettling in any way as although it's a 'secret' santa she would know that someone at work has been copying and pasting her Facebook photos! But she has a good sense of humour and I'm sure it would be fine.

But what do you think? I have absolutely no creepy motives, I just think it would be such a laugh to see her open it and I think she'd love the mug!

I think thats a great secret santa prezzie!
I'd much prefer to get something for "me" than the usual smellies/makeup/random other thing from boots 3for2 Grin yes, I'm ungrateful

If you know her well enough and think it will be fun then do it.

But perhaps let her know afterwards that it was you and not some creepy colleague she doesn't like.

Yes, fine!

No that's funny! At least it's personal and shows some effort went into it.

I think it's a bit odd, sorry! How about something else on a car theme? :)

Sounds like a fun secret santa present, to me.

You can get a mug done really cheap too. Wink

I once did a personalised calendar for a colleague for secret Santa - got the photos off Facebook - didn't really think it could be seen as creepy! I think it's a good idea and much better than the usual tat given at secret Santa!

I don't think it is creepy, I think it's a great idea!
