I will. I pretty much think it's going to be a case of selected regional ales.

And will you be happy with that?

I think so. It's hard to go wrong with alcohol and a 20 year old 

I think they meant what you get in return EC 

What happens if he's one of those weird people that doesn't drink.!  

As for smellies, they're a mine field if you don't buy what YOU like.  Remember, this bloke will be wafting around the office come January reeking, so don't buy him anything resembling eau de armpit.

So, tomorrow is Secret Santa day !!!!    dreading it.

I have bought the recipient of my secret santa gift a selection (locally brewed beers - 6 of them). He's a drinker and I'm sure they will go down well.

Now I must go to a mirror and practice my "Oh that's a surprise, thank you so much" act.

Wish me luck!

Jeezz. If these are the perils..

Oi....................I'm not weird

Try runnin a day trip to Boulogne with all the money on the 3.15.

Live dangerously.

Good luck  

Don't worry, its only a Secret Santa EC... half the fun is moaning about what crap you got 

They all take it so serious though - you should see the effort they have gone to with wrapping and swing tags.

I have wrapped mine up so much it should take a week to unwrap 

oops... I've just wrapped my secret santa prezzie for tomorrow.   The recipient will probably think she's getting a fish supper in fancy paper...  I don't do twiddly bits...

PMSL!!

I once wrapped a tin of peas     Well.......we didn't know who we were buying for and I just thought it was sposed to be a daft present  

Did I tell you I think you're wonderful   

 PSML!! 

  you don't twiddle either then, sprout 

Nah, it's not the wrapping.........it's what's in it 

well EC ....  what did you get ?     anything exciting 

I don't think he's allowed to open it 'til Christmas day!

I recall taking part in a Secret Father Christmas caper many years ago when working as a temp and I drew my boss's name from the hat.  He was a rather unpleasant fellow who fancied himself as a bit of a Don Juan and so, when visiting a local joke shop and my eye was caught by a rather garish 'Willy Warmer' (knitted) I couldn't resist it. 

I don't know what upset him more; the fact that the aforementioned 'warmer' was only about three inches long or the fact that the packaging bore the following advice:

Will Shrink to Fit

I was given one of those once 

Hi Mrs H,

I will post a photo of my gift, but yes, it was good - b ether than I feared. 

We had our work's Secret Santa yesterday .  We do the thing where you have to pick a letter as well as a name, and the present has to start with that letter.   Boss's missus got the young girl in the office and the letter V. 

she got her a vajazzle kit...  

Talk about building suspense! I too want to know what you got.

Come on then, what did you get

Haha! That's a brilliant idea ... I shall suggest that for next year

I got a tube of hand cream this year, well whoopie do

It's still at work. I will photograph it and post a picture. But it's a picture.

bumping as nosey would like to see picture

That should be so easy. Just go to a department store, like Boots, for instance, and say: I need a gift, I have £10 to spend and it's for a 22 yr old male .... The shop assistant "should" be happy to help, it is her job ..... now how difficult can that be?
