    She doesn't drink. As the kids say these days (possibly): she's the anti-craic

    A candle? I dunno why that immediately came to mind, but I'm sticking with it.

    Get her a cat, she might as well face reality of being a spinster sooner or later.

    A letter from Santa that says "you were naughty".

    Buy her a nice yoke of perfume and hold your wheesht. Or nothing at all or whatever like. No point in taking part if you're going to whine about it.

    Goldfish , you freeze them or possibly try keep them alive in a jar wrapped up in Christmas wrapping paper.

    Everyone loves goldfish and they don't last long.

    You're a genius. She's into all that aromatherapy sh!te. That'll do nicely

    But whining about it is a xmas tradition like whining about xmas stuff appearing in shops the day after Hallowe'en

    Did you not read the description of her? No doubt she had this on pre-order for the last few months!

    Is that it ,you come in here looking for help and you settle for a poxy candle , heres all the good inhabitants of AH racking their brains , leaving their kids starve , abandoning their work worrying about your plight and you settle for a bleeding' candle.

    Happy Christmas

    yeah, spice it up a bit. At least make it a penis shaped candle.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 478 ✭✭Rochester


    Could you gift wrap yourself?

    And if she lights it before she uses for other other purposes?

    If she's as dry as he makes out that's gonna hurt.

    Years when frozen.

    Thankfully I've never been dragged into that Secret Santa shyte.. I just clearly say I won't be getting involved. I've enough trouble buying presents for people I'd actually want to buy for, never mind for some randomer I barely know in the office.

    Plaster of paris of your willy should suffice. I did this before and she thought it was a golf tee.

    The whole idea of secret Santa is to embarrass the person just enough before it crosses the line into HR territory.

    Candle is pish

    Yeah I'd love to get something like that but she definitely wouldn't find it funny and most of the other boring twats in the office would be up on their "offended" high horses. Its just not that sort of group unfortunately
