There's a thread about the best, but I thought the worst would be funnier. 😁 Would like it to keep it light, so no comments about being ungrateful etc please!

So what's the worst secret Santa present you've ever had?

Size 28 comedy printed knickers when I was a size 18, dieting and hated my weight. My colleagues were c*nts.

My goodness @TwattingDog that was so spiteful of them. I hate secret Santa's and never participate.

One of those baskets of crap from Facebook. You know the ones, with sample sizes of hotel toiletries and hot chocolate sachets.

99p box of chocolates that had the price on them. The SS gift limit was £10.

I once got a Where's Osama? book in the style of Where's Wally? Just an odd, odd thing in any circumstance, but for Christmas? Weird and unfunny.

A jar of cornichon and a blatantly second hand, dug out of the bottom of a box Christmas decoration.

I wish I could say I was joking...

A 99p big brother mug. Still had the price tag on it. The limit was £10.

yellowcracker · 26/10/2019 14:14

A small nurf gun Hmm no idea why.

I love Christmas and therefore never take part in secret santas. I don't want crap I don't want that gets added to the pile of rubbish.

A bottle of Sanatogen Tonic Wine (strapline - Fortifies the Over Forties.) I WAS slightly over 40 then and had lost a lot of weight - but I thought that I looked fab, not ill!

A fisgusting floral really naff makeup bag from Avon that had been a free gift with all the samples that were meant to be included taken out and kept by the giver.

A laminated photocopied photo of the football team from my home town from about 50 years ago. I hate football. Really don't like it. And I hadn't lived there for 20 years. Certainly don't follow it. He thought it was hilarious. Cock.

edgen2019 · 26/10/2019 16:12

A rotary washing line - I was not impressed.

wineisnecessary · 26/10/2019 16:29

I hate SS !!
A few years ago where I worked we did Ss anyway 1 year I got nothing as the person who picked me forgot but never said so I had to stand around while everyone got their gift feeling a right tit .
Another time someone had a bright idea to buy ss gift from a charity shop . I was against it and bought my gift a bottle of wine . I got a really crappy cd of folk songs . Angry

An amaryllis bulb. I was 35 and all those younger than me had drinking games and inflatable reindeer hoopla all those older had lovely candles or thoughtful sets and I got a bulb.

mnahmnah · 26/10/2019 16:38

A bath bomb set. When the person who got it would have known I didn’t have a bath.

Cornishmum00 · 26/10/2019 16:38

A duster, supposed to be a joke but no one at the table (except the giver) found it funny at all

Killmeelmo · 26/10/2019 16:42

A former colleague bought one of those clear plastic travel bottle sets and filled all the bottles up with his own mouthwash 🤮

Fortunately the person next to me won that delightful present

Wildorchidz · 26/10/2019 16:43

Edible bra and knickers.

Serin · 26/10/2019 16:49

An egg slicer.

ilovetofu · 26/10/2019 16:49

A candle.

Serin · 26/10/2019 16:50

A very private and religious older lady who I worked with once had the indignity of unwrapping a vibrating cock ring.Hmm

insanepizza · 26/10/2019 16:54

A book on how to sing. I AM an awful singer and for very specific reasons relating to my work had been forced into singing in public a week or so before. Everyone knew I was mortified. I was really hurt by the book and didn't think it was at all funny.

Slappadabass · 26/10/2019 16:55

@Serin That is so disrespectful!

Bartlet · 26/10/2019 16:58

A can of antifreeze in a wine bag and a Susan Boyle sings Xmas cd.

We were at a work offsite meeting that day and suspect that the gift giver had forgotten and did a last minute petrol station panic purchase. At least I hope I don’t look like someone who’d like a Susan Boyle cd.
