AIBU to ask what the worst Secret Santa gift is that you ever received?

[cluck57]

Mine was an empty cardboard box wrapped up.

A single navy blue poly cotton pillow case, with ten or so off brand Quality Street type sweets inside, done up with a red velour scrunchy. Not just bad but a completely odd and random selection of things.

A 3d picture of a wolf

Either nothing or dusty and some quarter empty bottles of moisturiser. At least give them a wipe so they don't look like they've been stood in the bathroom for a year

Not me but I went to the office Christmas party of an ex of mine. He got an entire, raw fish. Just a whole fish wrapped in Christmas paper.

My colleague got a wooden back roller thing, from the random basket of baby toys in the nursery.
Given (and unwrapped in the actual baby room where the toys were stored) by a member of management.
My very young colleague cried.

My secret Santa asked my H at the work Christmas party the week before gift exchange what Id like. He said “oh anything pink and sparkly” (not sure why as I like sparkles but not that fussed about pink). He meant something from Accessorize!

I got a pink, sparkly toy pig that grunted and walked a few steps. I didn’t have kids at the time so it ended up going to charity.

My Secret Santa was so pleased that he’d filled the brief I didn’t have heart to tell him it was useless!

Foot care set containing foot cream and deodorant. 99p special type thing.

I am not doing it this year.

A boots own brand epilator - pretty sure it was a re-gift. I hope it was

A colleague in another job was given a box of dog biscuits. Pretty grim

A bottle of black nail varnish, I wasn't a 100% sure it hadn't been used

I got a tupperware box last year.

My Muslim colleague was given a bottle of sloe gin 2 years ago. Not malicious, just thoughtless.

Since then, Secret Santa has been banned for our team! I’m actually relieved!

One of those durex vibrating cock rings (I'm female and was very single at the time). We were opening the gifts in front of our boss who visibly got very awkward when I had to say what it was. Everyone else had really normal non-sex related things!

Penis hoopla

A Cliff Richard calendar. I was about 24 at the time. It was meant to be funny, but I didn't find it so.

Padded bum knickers at least two sizes too small.

A colleague of mine once got a vibrator that was really sticky.

A Baylis & Harding toiletries set an candle. They had the Boots 3 for 2 stickers still on them. I have donated them to the school xmas fayre tombola.

A paint your own face mask kit. White plastic face mask (child size) with teeny pots of paint. Probably £1 in Hobby craft.

The naffest nastiest ornament ever a replica Egyptian urn on fake wood stand
The budget at the time was £5
It was before £1 shops so probably cost 50p I was insulted and deposited in nearest dustbin on way home

A calculator, from the stationery cupboard. One of my colleagues was discovered not to have been bought anything that year (some eagle-eyed person spotted that there was one gift missing). After some investigation, the culprit was forced to own up, & shot off into town where he spent approximately 4x the maximum limit for his gift. Our team didn't do secret santa again for a couple of years.

I had bought him a fairly respectable leather wallet for £4.99

the one that didn't turn up, the CF even told me to go to the post office.....even though I had no card.

Ours is £15 this year! HCP team!! 😮

However, before it got this silly, when it was fun, one year I got an great one. I am the H&S warden; our uniform is burgundy; someone got me a burgundy based hi-viz vestige only issue is I can be seen in all the photos, lit up like a 🎄

I was taken aside by my boss to be told that my secret Santa hadn't had time to get anything. So. Nothing.

A pair of headphones. They looked Iike they were from the 80's with cheap black foam on them. Tested them and they were as awful as they looked. Max £1 from Poundland.
Don't do it anymore.
