Fuck it. Let’s have a ‘Shit Secret Santa’ thread.

Mine hit a new low spot this year with Bayliss and fucking Harding

One year a colleague got a set of the antlers on a headband. One of them had snapped so one side just hung down over her face. ☹️

What did your other half get from SS ?

I am amazed at some of the sexual gifts given in SS. I don’t work in a very PC workplace but we would get into trouble for this.

Where do you all work? 1975?

A pack of beauty stuff from Morrisons the sort of thing you might give to a 12 year old l regifted it to my niece age 12

I got penis shaped marshmallows with a chocolate dipping sauce. It was excrutiatingly embarrassing.

@AldiAisleofCrap

Bayliss and Harding is awful .

I assumed it was posh, because I only see it in other people's bathrooms!

Whisky stones.
I did drink whisky but never chilled (cos it makes it taste awful) and I've been tea total for more almost three years (pregnancy and breastfeeding)

My DH got one of those trimmers for ear and nostril hair. It made him feel that the giver was commenting on his appearance. Fortunately, he's able to shrug off such things but I thought it was rude.

This year we had a budget of £15. And here is what was chosen for me. I know it's ungrateful - but no way was this £15.

As soon as the charity shops are open I will be taking it in.

I like cats. I do not like this.

I like this

I was given a cheap ass looking pearlised shell frame once.

We all opened our gifts in front of each other. Everyone else had lovely gifts. I had this cheap piece of shit and I had to pretend I liked it. It was utterly vile. Looked like it had cost them all of a quid.

Still don’t know who bought it to this day. But whoever it was, clearly they don’t like me very much.

Bought my (former) boss a statue of a clown for 50p from a charity shop.

Kellymumto2 I can’t imagine anything worse that that ugh!!!

Work SS - I ended up with a hotel branded candle...

Some people have got no idea or can’t be bothered or both. I hate it when you have made the effort and you get a sh*t present. One year I got (wrapped) a pretend pizza box that when you turned a handle it played a tune?! To this day have no idea?? None!...

@Pixiemeat, that’s disgusting....the poor girl....

@Patsyanna

Oh no, now I'm going to have to unwrap the Harding and Bayliss gift I bought and take it back for a refund. Thank God I found out in time it was a sh*t present. What was I thinking!

You’re welcome

Two regifted candles in a bag that stank of smoke, not even wrapped in Christmas paper.

TOP THIS

I once received a Secret Santa gift of one packet of flower seeds with the gigantic 29CENTS American printed on it. That’s it, In an envelope with no card and my simple name spelled wrong.

I mean. don’t go out of your way or try too hard.
JHC.

They make gin too... it’s lovely!!!!

I once got a pencil sharpener and an old knitting pattern that smelt of mildew. I don't even knit

I like Baylis and Harding, it's only on here that people seem to have an issue with it.

Baylis and Harding
Instant itchy rash
