Secret Bloody Santa...

skunkwerx

Got put in the secret santa in work, against all my protests! 

Now I need to search for something for £5 or less that can be given to my supervisor!

We're good work mates, and have known/worked with each other for the last 4 years so it doesnt have to be something 'safe for work' per se. 

But I'm useless with even buying family gifts so any suggestions most welcome! 

He's a big Elvis fan, but we work for hmv so... albums and dvds would be a real lazy move haha!

It doesn't matter what he likes 

Last time I got mine a Fray Bentos pie, a pen that played songs in Japanese, a pink fluffy steering wheel cover, a pink glittery cowgirl hat and a bow and arrow. All for a fiver. Bloody bargain.

I bought a couple of Elvis records from HMV, spookily enough (That's Alright Mama), but you couldn't have one of those for a fiver!

Last secret Santa I did, five people got a bottle of port and I got a Santa mankini.  That's the last time I do one!  Although it was probably karma, because the one before that I spent £4.99 on a big jar or Marmite and put it in a box marked LIFETIME SUPPLY.

If all else fails.... National Lottery scratch cards.

Muslim guy that I work with is called Rex. Someone bought him a dog collar. Didn't go down too well.

£4.89. Job done.

Claim you're dyslexic, thought it was secret Satan, and buy something offensive and inappropriate.

ditto. I don't like all this enforced participation stuff. People may think you are a git for not doing it, but that is a cross we opter outers must endure, if only for the self respect and dignity.

Two lottery tickets and a £1 scratch card?

wibble

£5 HMV gift card. It shows you care

Legendary!

Haha I know, I said nah, mainly because a fiver is a pack of dearly needed guitar strings, but it was another work friend who 'insisted' my name went in the hat! Nevermind not too fussed. 

Deffo going to claim I thought it was secret satan and do something devilish though!

Same here - I have to get something by Wednesday's team meeting and the person I'm buying it for is a fitness instructor. So sweets, drinks etc I don't think would be a great idea. although it's all about a pointless gift so I guess I shouldn't over think this.

499 pennies. That way you profit, and they can have lots of fun re-counting them throughout the day wondering if they dropped the last one or just can't count

The whole point of secret Santa is that they won't know who bought it. There's always some joker who wraps up a brick, or something.

Something I once believed in but now doubt to my very core.

Not Santa: HMV.

I would have suggested an Unt mug but I've just seen a Lunge mug, so I'll recommend that instead.

I'm stealing that idea. The guy I've got grates on me so a bucket of pennies will do just nicely! Alas, I wish I hadn't agreed to secret Santa either.
