Mortified by gift from boss

[didyouscoredarling]

I had two KIT days that fell for secret Santa, so I was included in it

I got my boss, he got me. He forgot my present on the actual day of secret Santa so he gave me mine the day after

I got him an aftershave he likes. It's a fairly cheap one (£20), and a small box of chocolates. Just Cadbury's, he loves chocolate

I was gifted today a 'I ❤️ Sports direct' mug with a pack of pens in and some sticky notes
Wtf.

AIBU to feel sad? Limit was £20...

I only know he was my secret Santa because he was late to the fisting...

Isn't it time secret santa is phased out in the work place. The number of posts where some poor soul gets nothing, something crappy or inappropriate are on here everyday. It's a prime opportunity for the tightwads, passive aggressive and just plain gits to shine. Office based trolling

Doesn’t autocorrect use your message st commonly used words? 🤣🤣🤣

Oops

I might slam it down in the next meeting and exclaim what a shit gift it was. I bet he got the post it's from the stationary cupboard as well. Sounds like he forgot - do you think he would re buy if you made a bit of noise about it?

Army the mugs usually free with a purchase?
Sounds like he raised the stationery cupboard

There’s nothing worse than being late to your own fisting.

I would literally drink water out of it, and never use any other coffee mug. Unless he needed a drink and then I would wash it and give him a coffee in it.

It would be my life ambition to only be seen with this mug. If you have lunch in the canteen. I would take the mug...

The mugs come free with orders over a certain value.
He gave you this plus a few stationery items that he probably nicked from the work cupboard

I'd decline to participate next year.

I might start to use the phrase ‘he was a bit late to the fisting’ in the way you might use ‘late to the party’ to mean slow to catch on to something.

@PurplePansy05

I laughed so hard at this that I've accidentally unlatched DS off my breast whilst feeding

The gift is very David Brent-esque.

It's a 10 from me, the gift and your thread.

Me too! Poor DD just got showered in breast milk

I'll just leave this here...

I'd take a shit mug over a fisting from my boss personally.

If he’s your boss, won’t he give you flowers and chocolates on your/his last working day before Christmas?

Did anyone else think it was going to be the flesh light someone's husband bought 'for a work secret santa' the other day?

Fisting is an ace present!!

Please make sure you get him next year and return the mug to him with a giant turd inside...

Please say he's a Colorectal surgeon...or a Gynaecologist, either will do 😂

He couldn't have. I hold the key to that cupboard and I never leave it open

I got a notebook. We have access to as many free notebooks as we need from the stationery cupboard

OP YABU. Trying to get DC2 asleep and I just bounced them wide awake with my giggling.

It could become the new "snapped and farted"!

@onceandneveragain

next year make sure he arrives early and shove the sports direct mug where the sun don't shine rather than a fist....make use of that wide brim....

Dying

Bloody hell £20 limit? Ours is £5!

It's secret Santa for crying out loud! In most workplaces it's a bit of fun - if you are expecting a worthwhile gift then maybe just opt out.
