Secret Santa based on initial

[lamad]

Hi all

I just went back to work today after having 2 weeks off and they did secret Santa hat .. as i was off my work friend chose one for me and handled a piece of paper with the persons name.

Now ... apparently this year it's a little different you have to buy a gift that starts with either of the persons initials..

For example if their initials are C M you could maybe buy a Candle or Mug .... hope that makes sense.

I think it's extremely silly!!! but I don't want to be the one to go against the flow

Can someone please help me with any ideas?
The persons initials are A G - any secret Santa gifts that you can think of that start with either .. A or G 🙈 I'm finding this really stressful and unnecessary on top of my workload and stress
Please help

TIA xx

Gin?

Ale or gin
Aero chocolate
Galaxy chocolate
Gift voucher!

What else do you know about this person? Any clues on interests etc?

A goat.

Gloves?

What’s the budget?

Angel (a christmas tree ornament) ?
Art
Aromatherapy
Aloe Vera toiletries

Glassware
Golf item
gloves
Gin

Anusol or Germoline 🤣

Male or female?

Sounds awful!

I'd go for

A Giftset

Haha gin was my first thought!

A game? Art? Ale? Aniseed balls?

But yeah a gift card is a good suggestion from PP.

Amazon Giftcard?

Apron?

I got a personalised denim apron for someone once ... for this same reason - we were working through letters of Christmas and were at A. I wasn't enamoured with the idea at first but it was fun seeing all the a pressnts and how creative folk had been with their thinking...

An apple and some gorgonzola?

Apple Gin!

Oh wow lots of ideas already!!!
Thank you all! I really appreciate your help

It's for a lady, she's in her 50s if that helps.

I'll write down all of your suggestions

The budget is £50

I'm ashamed to say I don't know anything about this person 😂 apart from saying hello and chatting about work we don't really know each other

How much???

Good grief! It's usually a fiver!

£50 - what? I assume not out of your own pocket???

You are on to a winner with A.G - Amazon Giftcard for £50

I feel sorry for whoever gets Xena Zanussi 😂

I'd actually be delighted with this! 😂

Omg is this £50 out of your own pocket???

£50?!

Fucking hell.

Ours was a £5 and one place made it £10

Personally I would hate an amazon gift card and it would never be used so that's a bit risky. Especially £50 worth of worthlessness <faints>

I know! I was shocked too! But apparently they came to the conclusion that with the inflation you can't buy anything for £20-£30 😵‍💫 I can easily think of gifts that would make me happy for under £20 but clearly they couldn't
