To think this is a crap secret Sants pressie

[cuteboots]

So everyone else in the office seems to have been givens cds , books, chocolates, opened mine to find a tin of T bags . I know this probably sounds really ungrateful and I did try not to laugh. Even the tin they are in is bloody awful as well ; 0 ( Am I being horrid/ precious/nasty ??

At least you got one ...

I slipped through the net somehow

Depends how much you like tea. Are they particularly exotic teabags Or PG?

Ditto Salmotrutta! I dont do giving not to receive!!

SomeTiggyPudding- Williamson Teabags. I have never heard of them so they could be posh

Salmotrutta- Sorry you got missed . I only got this today so Im thinking its a last minute purchase ; 0 )

usualsuspect3- I do drink alot of tea ; 0 (

Well to be fair there were lots of staff off and the organisation went a bit pear shaped. Add a bit of crap labelling into the mix and I saw how it happened.

Never mind

< milks it>

The worst one I got was a clothes brush, when I have bad psoriasis :(

Just did a shopping google search:

They are pricey! And if you like tea someone has thought about what you like. It's quite sweet. speaking as someone who gave tea as a gift this year, eek!

Tea bags sounds too sensible for a secret santa present....

Oh now that really is awful mary - what a nasty person that must have been!

They probably saw you drink a cup of tea in the office and realised when they drew your name that it was the only thing they knew about you.

Probably someone you always see in the tea room.

Well, I got a pack of beer and a box of chocs. I virtually never drink, though...

Mary that just sounds almost like a deliberate dig at you, clothes brush, how crap.

On a lighter night, i had to laugh at my mums secret santa gift. Bar of shop, with face one side, and fanny the other. Mum found it funny.

*Soap, i shouldnt type in the dark.

Its naice Christmas tea!

theKnightsWhoSayNi- Ah now I know who it is then as it can only be one of the guys from the warehouse. As hes always waiting for the kettle to boil and we seem to be in the kitchen at the same time

101handbags-Exactly my thoughts

Marybs- How nasty some people can be aye

That was the sort of place I worked, unfortunately. I should imagine a couple of people thought it was funny. I hated working there though. I wasn't the only one, either you were part of the in clique or you weren't. And I wasn't. I just had to brush it off (get it? :o)

I know that one as its can be a bit like that here as well. Still not very nice and Im glad to hear you no longer work there anymore. There is a definite Clique here as well and I have no desire to be involved with that thank you.

I once got a packet of Malteasers from the shop downstairs. They weren't even christmas Malteasers. I hate secret Santa.

WeWilsonAMerryChristmas- I dont think I will be taking part next year being honest. Ive also gone right off secret Santa

I think posh tea bags is a nice present for someone who is a bit of a tea drinker .
It can be really hard to buy for someone you only know as a work colleague ~ sounds like they put a bit of thought into that.

I think some people lack imagination.
I could think of worse things though.
At ours someone always buys cheese, regardless of whether thr recipient actually likes cheese!

if you drink lots of tea then maybe they assumed you would find this the most exciting gift to receive at xmas?

I would have said a polite 'thanks' and regifted it to my nan put it in a cupboard

I'd be chuffed with a tin of naice tea bags!
