Another Secret Santa one...Sorry!

Okay so, I'm mega annoyed by this.

There's six of us at work and I drew the Secret Santa about a month ago. The person I've got has gone through everyone except me asking who is who, and then came up to me and said "Ozil, I know as I've been asking people it's either you or one other colleague who have me as SS, so can you get me five lottery tickets or a voucher or something" As I organised it I said no vouchers and no money and to be honest I'm really hurt she's gone to such an extent to ruin it by doing this.

So my choices are, do as she's asked and buy her lottery tickets as I'm not buying vouchers. Or the other option is to choose a gift. Budget is £10, all she seems to like is TK Maxx and shopping in general, an actual shopaholic. Very hard to buy for and trust me to get the hardest one.

Opinions on wether to just do as she's asked or buy a different gift welcome!

I would honestly get her a goat from Oxfam or something similar. Lottery tickets would be such a waste! And if you've already specified no vouchers, stick to your guns.

She's just like Gareth from The Office so I'm tempted to get her an Action Man in a bag and laugh away to myself when she opens it and doesn't get the joke at all!

I would go halfway and get her a £5 voucher and a small gift.

Get her something from body shop - they have a whole selection of £5 stuff for this purpose.

I hate her attitude and to be honest I would be very passive aggressive in this can of case.

Many local charities here allow you make a donation in the gift recipient name. I would do that and pop it in an envelope and give it to her. I am not a fan of secret santa
