Secret Santa help - a gift with the initials J C

35 replies

GetTheStartyParted · 26/11/2022 14:00

I'm in a new job so I don't know the person I have selected. The brief is £5 budget and buy something that starts with their initials. So Fiona Smith could get fluffy socks, or Gill Gibson could get green gloves.

I have picked a man with the initials JC, and that is everything I know. I haven't even met him.

Does anyone have any ideas please?

I wonder if he gets given jaffa cakes every year.

How about Japanese candy? But you might not get much for 5 pounds.

It's got to be this guy. There's always a code knocking around to take it down to budget.

Something to do with jerk chicken? Seasoning, voucher, sauce?

Jamaican coffee is unfortunately many times over budget, but Java coffee, easily available in supermarkets, is about the right price.

Jalapeno crisps.

Jarlsberg cheese.

Ooo, lots of suggestions thank you!

I will have to steer clear of Jesus, as we work in a religious school and I'm not sure if he'd appreciate it. That was my first thought 😆

I think supermarkets usually sell a yard of Jaffa Cakes around Xmas time.
