I don't know if many of you have participated in Secret Santa but we're doing it at my work and damn if I didn't get the person who organized the dang thing and is the most critical person evar.
We had to fill out this sheet and she doesn't have a favorite candy and put things like ALL as her favorite store. Um, okay that doesn't help. Thanks though.
I was wondering if you all had any ideas. So far I only got her favorite candle scent.
-
I'm doing the same thing at work, I got my Co-Worker Maria and I have no idea what she wants...I'm going to ask around though.
Its tough!
-
gift cards. they show that you put enough thought in to going to their favorite store, but saved them from the pain of pretending to like a present you got them that they really hate and will later have to return.
-
Well since for her favorite store she put all. That doesn't help. I think she did name her favorite restaurant. I was thinking of a Starbucks card. Everyone loves a Starbucks gift card. 8)
You are so right though, I hate to get stupid stuff.
I am just like, what is the point of a questionnaire if you don't answer the questions.
-
oohh i thought you meant like, a store called All. wow. *stupid moment over*
i would enjoy a starbucks card. or better yet, a Barnes & Noble card. ohh yess, that's like crack for this lit major :-P
maybe try and weazle some stuff from her next time you see her at work. Like "hey, i was shopping at __ store, and i found this really cool ____, you find the coolest stuff there" and see what she says. that opens up room for her to respond with "yeah, i've always wanted ___, but have never gotten around to buying it."

It's simple, just give her money, $25-$50. That way, she can buy whatever she wants for herself.
and damn if I didn't get the person who organized the dang thing and is the most critical person evar.
It's hard to criticize cash :razz:

Haha, good one. I do have an extra one, autographed even. I will have to see if she will actually appreciate it. I have already given out a few.
Keith, I guess the critisism will be that I didn't put thought into it.
She put all for favorite color too... who does that? :roll:

I hate those stupid secret Santa things. I have to do it for my work, and of course I'd get my boss' name.
BOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Haha, yeah see I feel you!! I am glad I didn't get my boss.
-
I always get someone I don't particularly like for Secret Santa. It's God's way of punishing me by making me buy a gift for someone i'd rather not be nice to.

EVERYONE GET'S HARMONIUM!!!!!

ROTFLMAO.
I like that idea :wink:
-
i'm in on it at my work....and I got the owner of the company...i thought it would suck, but I ended up getting something right away...whether the guy likes it or not....that's another thing 8O
-
I guess the thing that sucks is I am giving good stuff and I am getting crap!! Well not crap but you know what I mean.
-
We're doing Secret Santa, but it's just between a few close friends and me, so we know each other pretty well and there shouldn't be much problem with the gifts. I am having trouble with mine though... this girl has EVERYTHING!
-
bleh i had the same problem with my roomate, Nerea. I just got her a gift card to one of the stores she likes. And an inside joke kind of present - those are always fun
-
What is a SECRET SANTA? If it is what I am thinking, I think it's better not to participate.. because I bought a gift about 14 reais and I got one about 3 reais...
-
its when everyone gets a name and you got to buy something for that person....were doing that at my jm forum its cute :lol:
-
Ahh... It's what I thought..here in Brazil we call it " Amigo Secreto " ( secret friend ).... It's so funny but I don't like that much... but I'm always there
-

(edit)oh wait i told you that already lmao(.edit)
-
Nossa.. que legal... Eu sou do Brasil. Não sabia que era Portuguese pois não está falando em seu perfil. Mas OK e obrigado.
-

Yea I'm doing one of those for work! I got someone that is easy so I'm not worried.
-
I still have to buy a couple more secret santa's....bleh. I'm buying gift cards, Los Lonely Boys, a tinkerbell sweater, and some other weird stuff they have been talking about.
-
I'm all done with my secret santa's! it was so fun! :lol:
-
At a former job, we did this, and the girl whose name I drew had made some unrequired comment a few days earlier about my then-girlfriend and me having phone sex, so her gag gift was a prepaid phone card! :lol: The message in the embelope said, "Now you can enjoy it as much as we do!" :wink:
-
Bahaha good work! :lol:
-
I got the crappiest secret santa gift ever!
I got lotion and stuff I can't use and a starbucks gift card....I hate starbucks!
It was total caca. I don't agree with, "its the thought that counts" she just bought what was cheap! :?
Hopefully my other secret santa's are better...sheesh.
-
Are you crazy!! I would have loved a Starbucks card.
The first day I got a sugar plum lolipop.
The second day I got some sweetarts and shocktarts
The third day I got a little thing of vanilla/macademian nut lip balm
The fourth day a red pillar candle
The fifth day a stuffed bear
and the last day a mini live Christmas tree and a picture frame.
LAME!! I had one of the administrators, you would have thought she wouldn't be so cheap. I wonder who I can re-gift to. Hahaha
Our luncheon was cool though. I work with some cool people so it was fun.
-
My friend gave me a picture frame last week, now that is lame. I knew right away what it was I told her straight out, "Hana, Its a picture frame. Thanks." My dad always buys picture frames so I knew right off the bat what that baby was!
Hell, I'll mail you the starbucks card I'm not going there, yuck!
