Help me think of gifts for the BAD Santa game!!

[MessyMummy15]

So there will be 5 adults playing.
Elderly granddad
Middle age female
18 yo female
30 yo male
And 25 yo female

So never actually played this game before but am overly excited to try it for this Christmas.

Am off tomorrow to buy all the bits (if I'm right it's a mix of nice/funny/pointless bits)

Ideas so far:

1. Mug
2. Socks
3. Chocolate
4. Xmas toilet roll
5. Candle?
6. Pocket quiz

Any ideas what else I can wrap up?

Wind up racing nuns
Card games - Sainsburys and Debenhams do some good ones
Retro sweets
Small digital photo frame
Rubiks cube

I'm the queen of this! Been playing for years and have wrapped 25 presents so far!
Your presents seem quite extravagant! I think you might be overthinking it!! It's just a bit of fun! I try not to spend more than £2 on any item.
We have;
Seeds
Bird food
Walnut whips
Fry's chocolate creme (mum loves these)
Toblerone
Impulse
Beer/cider/mini wine.
Nail clippers
Fab Nasal clippers for a joke
After curry wet wipes (we have teenagers!)
Jelly sweets
Spiderman lucky bag
Amaryllis bulb
Pencil sharpener
Kawaii pens
Christmas glass with bambi deer on
Flamingo socks
Soap
Lip salve
Nail stickers
Outrageous false eyelashes (teen boy will try these)
Washbag
Hair scrunchie/clips
Comb
Dog toy (he also plays)
Walkers sensations crisps
Face cloth

Poundland is your friend here!

What's the Bad Santa game?! Sounds like something I'd want to play 😁

F

I'm really mean, and wrap up things that could be something else, eg a small square box that looks like Terry's chocolate orange - nope, it's a dishcloth! Mwah hah hah!

Agree you need to keep it cheap and cheerful. I go for things that are either consumable or useful but boring (miniature bottle of shampoo that looks like an alcohol mini, anyone?), so nobody's left with plastic tat to get rid of.

Poundland/Home Bargains/B&M are great for random stuff for this.

Panda - there's a few variations, but you wrap some presents and then they get swapped around by some means. The version we play, it's in addition to main presents, you 'win' your turn (we play different games each year) and can pick a present from the pile or steal someone else's, until all the presents are won. They all stay wrapped until the end of the game so nobody knows what they've got until the end.

A cheap pack of straw/sawdust/hamster bedding is quite large and looks like a very enticing present when wrapped. I have obviously never done this at work knowing that a certain person will always choose the biggest present

Thanks @FireflyGirl 😁

I so intrigued by this game and definitely sounds like something we as a family would all enjoy but I have so many questions...

How many presents do you wrap up?
How does the game end?
what kinda things do you wrap?
