Help with secret Santa!

14 replies

PonkyPonky · 26/11/2023 18:33

I have drawn the worst case scenario in the family secret Santa and I need help. I have a woman who has plenty of money so buys herself whatever she fancies anyway. She has no hobbies or interests and doesn’t work. She’s early 40’s and is RENOWNED for asking for the receipt to return everything she’s ever been given! She’s a bit of a snob so wouldn’t like anything with an air of ‘commoner’ about it. The budget is £50…. Any brilliant ideas out there?

A £50.00 note. Folded with a grip? 🙂

what does she actually do if she doesn’t work and has no hobbies / interests?!

A Christmas hamper from a local bakery - mince pies etc? Jo Malone handcream?
And either "lose" the receipt or just include the gift receipt for an easy life

Absolutely no idea! Must be important though as she’s always at least 2 hours late for everything

I actually immediately thought the White Company when I drew her but was a bit deflated to see that a candle is £65! Im really wrestling with my inner bargain hunter here

A watch ;)

What about one of those ethical gifts from oxfam etc
Two goats or a well or something

She'd probably not appreciate it but serves her right for being such hard work

🤣 a goat is the best idea yet! Definitely wouldn’t go down well at all

I wouldn't spend £50 for a start. If she really wants someone to spend that much on her she should open her mouth and say what she would like to receive as a gift.
I would buy a Christmas themed novel from The Works (£2.50), a tree decorations for her Christmas tree (a cheapy one from Primark so about £1) and a chocolate Santa (£1).
There. Less than a fiver.
