£10 secret Santa

A pair of thermal socks and a box of chocolates.

What would you think of this?

I’d be happy.

Sparklingbrook · 19/12/2017 22:37

Yep, that would do me fine.

IHeartKingThistle · 19/12/2017 22:37

I'd be pleased with that - I'm always cold and everyone at work knows this.

NoSquirrels · 19/12/2017 22:37

Delighted! I want thermal socks, and I like chocolate.

skinnyamericano · 19/12/2017 22:37

I’d be fine with that.

thegreylady · 19/12/2017 22:38

Lovely

ToastyFingers · 19/12/2017 22:38

Its a bit generic but totally inoffensive. My feet are always cold so would be weirdly appropriate for me.

Are they nice chocolates?

Freshprincess · 19/12/2017 22:38

id be quite pleased. I'm always moaning about the cold and I love chocolate. Someone knows me well.

BarbarianMum · 19/12/2017 22:38

Pleased. I've had far worse. Smile

ReturnofSaturn · 19/12/2017 22:38

Fine. I wear socks and eat chocolate.

KC225 · 19/12/2017 22:39

Would do it for me

Justmuddlingalong · 19/12/2017 22:39

Are you the giver or the receiver? I think it's a perfectly fine gift.

hidengosqueak · 19/12/2017 22:39

Better than mine. £10 secret Santa and I got a stop smoking Grand body spray . I stopped smoking 11 months ago and was not amused.

toriatoriatoria · 19/12/2017 22:39

Quite generic but I'd be happy with.

WillowWept · 19/12/2017 22:39

I'd use and enjoy both.

MrsEricBana · 19/12/2017 22:39

Very pleased indeed.

GrooovyLass · 19/12/2017 22:39

Doesn't sound like much thought has gone into that tbh. I'd feel slightly miffed.

SantaClauseMightWork · 19/12/2017 22:39

I would love thermal socks. What's not to like? Your gift is better than mine Anyway.

MoistCantaloupe · 19/12/2017 22:39

Love being warm. Love eating chocolate. Are you worried or are you the recipient feeling disappointed?

Gobletofgin · 19/12/2017 22:42

Would have loved that, I got a wine bottle sized wine glass. Everyone knows I don’t drink alcohol Xmas Hmm

CrazySexyCool123 · 19/12/2017 22:42

Id be annoyed. That's what I get every year or hot chocolate and a mug. They think you're boring.

CheapSausagesAndSpam · 19/12/2017 22:43

I'd be very happy with that. I love new socks as I'm very hard on them and chocolate? What's not to like?

Topseyt · 19/12/2017 22:43

Fine. Secret Santas can be notoriously shit, but those sound reasonable.

BonnieF · 19/12/2017 22:44

Sounds good to me. Much better than some useless bit of joke tat.

MotherCupboard · 19/12/2017 22:44

Id breathe a sigh of relief. At least it's not a smelly gift set.
