    Some one posted a bargain alert for a personal massager. Think it was around €10.

    Some crotchless underwear, only if you got a man though, and give him a suggestive wink as you hand it to him.

    Get your secret santa pregnant OP. It requires a lower budget than not getting them pregnant as the cost of condoms is deducted and it would be a great surprise, especially if it's a man.

    Hate this secret Santa boll*cks. Waste of a tenner and time spent picking out some pure shi*e that is neither wanted nor appreciated in most cases. I got a Russian ushanka hat from a colleague one year, another year one of those singing fish! :confused: Its not 'great craic'. Its just a nuisence.

    Humbug! :pac:

    It's the perfect opportunity to tell your colleague what you really think of them using the mask of anonymity.

    If they smell - buy a can of extra-strong deodorant and a bar of soap. If their breathe smells like a used nappy then buy them a bottle of mouthwash. If you just don't like them, buy them a 'I'm a cúnt' mug. You also get to see their reaction as they open it.

    Friend of mine got a catapult and a separate case of metal ball bearings. He couldn't decide if that meant he was the office psycho, or if the office psycho was his secret santa :pac:

    Just give them a ten note. It's the easiest option and nobody is ever disappointed with a cash gift.

    American import, traditionally it's been referred to as Kris Kindle here.
