Secret Santa argh £5

12 replies

So, I organised secret santa at work. Limit £10. I bought a santa t-shirt for £5 and have £5 left to spend.

Thats my one.

Today my boss told me to buy his secret santa gift too! So bought one thing for £5 and now have £5 left.

Need two £5 gifts - want them to be unsual/interesting.
Both for men.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I tried! He mentioned it when picking his name that I'd buy it and I said no.
The today he walked up to me and sai di had to do it, made a joke about delegation then handed me £10 and walked away.
So now I am going to buy and Ill wrap it and not tell him what I bought and just say I hope he doesn't embarrass easily! haha

Cheeky fucker!

How about one of those nanoblocks kits that I'm secretly hoping someone buys me eBay have a fish one and a rabbit one at £4.99 including delivery.

Or a quirky Christmas tree ornament?

Im not sure either of them would like the nanoblock thing. Sorry!

Good idea about quirky tree ornament. You have just reminded me of light-mills (Crookes radiometers) I think one of the guys would appreciate that actually.
Off to google. Thanks!

paperchase have the most horrific looking tree ornaments but they are strangely nice and vintagy looking at the same time :) think they are about a fiver

Photo box 3 for 2 on photo mugs - they start at a fiver... I ordered one for an SS with a very niche picture of something he is into and we have a long running joke about on it for a fiver. Also bought one for a family member and got one free for me - score!

It's a quid over but M&S have Dalek, TARDIS and K-9 keyrings for £6 each

I would live a USB Henry Hoover for keyboard cleaning.

I'd just buy a bottle of wine for the one from your boss - don't do it so well and thoughtfully that you get lumbered with it next year.
