Please ask the nearest available man what he would like to receive from Secret Santa.

[Bohica]

I've never done Secret Santa before but moral is quite low at our place at the moment due to a few redundancies so I have offered to organise SS.

Staff ratio is 5 females 20 males so i'm hedging my bets I pull a male out of the hat

Under £5 but i am willing to spend more if needed.

book

My dad says the £5!

DH has changed his mind - unusual bottle of ale/beer

first legal suggestion he came up with was chocolate

DH says beer , a more unusual Belgian beer to be specific.

Snap cece

Just asked my brother and his friends they said a pink midget. think they may be drunk

My stepdad says ear plugs which was a definite dig at my mum who has been singing Xmas songs all night while decorating.
HTH

DH's answer, after asking is that a Mumsnet thing?, was "not a pair of underpants with a snake on the front to put your willie in" (which is what he received as an 18 year old working in a Finance team of mainly middle aged women )

His suggestions are unusual beer or a mug for his coffee in the office.

DH has gone to "his office" loo to think! BRB!

DH says "er, I dunno, funny little book?" (ie the kind you might keep by the loo).

Good thread because I have to buy for a secret santa for a guy in my office I hardly know, also a fiver, so I shall steal one of these ideas!

'A tennis sweat band to look like Bjorn Borg'

But he does need a hair cut, badly.

DH said chocolate .

Dp says real ale or similar

DH says no smellies as it's a cop out. He also thinks it should be about the individual. For example every year for years he got smellies or a tie for work. Then last year he got a wooden train (I was expecting DS) and a baby name book. The person thought about what to get him, rather than generic male.

He thinks too much about these things though, I blame working with so many women over the years!!

Some kind of chocolate.

A book.

Fancy chutney.

::Mr Imaginative::

DH said that funny book about autocorrected conversations here on Amazon. He liked the website very much a couple of days ago when it it was mentioned on Mumsnet here is the Damn You AutoCorrect website to preview the book

DP says "a big pork pie" :)

One says sweets, the other says something funny.

hmv £5 gift voucher

Great ideas! I've only worked here for 6 months and I have very little to do with many of the males as I'm PA to the boss so I don't get to know them iykwim.

I thought I could buy an itunes voucher as they all wear ipods in the workshop?

DH: Depends on the workplace. If it's the police* it'd be something daft like a cabbage.

Then he suggested that new limited edition HP Sauce with Guinness in it?!

*No guesses as to his profession

dh has now changed it to a £5 amazon voucher

Dh says he'd like an ultraviolet light of around 300 nanometers. He's not your average bloke though..

I think the minimum spend on i-tunes is £15, which rather blows your budget.
