10) The rules are stupid and they want everyone to open the gift before the end of the game. How is that exciting? Everyone knows what they’re fighting over!
9) Someone gave away junk from their house, i.e. a glass hurricane candle cover thing
8) An exercise ball- What. The. Fuck?
7) A gift certificate to Starbucks with a mug
6) Another gift certificate to Starbucks with a mug
5) A gift certificate to Blockbuster with some popcorn
4) Another gift certificate to Blockbuster with some popcorn
3) A third gift certificate to Blockbuster with some popcorn
2) A fourth gift certificate to Blockbuster with some popcorn
1) Someone gave away a “personal massager” from Conair. Who gives away a dildo at a Christmas party? I’m all in favor of dildos, but there’s something kind of skeevy about expecting to open a box with a bottle of wine in it and getting a “personal massager”.
I hate people so much.
So if you’re not going to use the “personal massager” can I have it? I broke mine again…
Can I have all the popcorn?
can i have the massager AND the popcorn?
i have preferences, youknow.
Bah. The best giveaways are with engineers: whiskey, fancy European beer, and wine. Makes me love my coworkers. :) Except for the perfectly wonderful goodness of Starbucks gifts, it sounds like your colleagues need a Holiday Hit.
Ok, so ACW, be thankful you’re allowed to give gifts at work. I’m not. Nazis! I mean, we still do it, but we’re technically not allowed to. And giftcards are always great, you know? Especially ones to Starbucks.
I’d love to give gifts at work, but I can’t figure out how to gift wrap an asskicking.
Oh it’s our “Secret Santa” day at work today. I just bought beer for the guy I had to buy for - unexciting but always welcome!
I am quite nervous about what they may have got me. Some people in my office have a strange sense of humour!
Oh my! They got me a Boss Toss.
Why is it I can’t say that without blushing?
It’s a gun thing that fires little plastic bosses all of 2 feet. I want a starbucks gift certificate!
hmm..perhaps our office was filled with boozehounds.
At my last office in San Diego, we did one of those yankee swaps (is that like Indian giver…?..anyway I digress). And half of the gifts were some sort of alcohol gift basket. Three of them were identical and 75% of the items were easily identifiable to most of us as coming from Costco since all of us shopped there.
We’re having our office party tomorrow so who knows what will happen. Only this one is secret santa. I only participated because I was hoping to get someone that I could give a gag gift to, but I have zero ideas for the person I got.
Hrmm. Hard to say which I’d like more: the personal paintball lessons or the iPod.
Enh, wrapping schmapping. I just give out the cans. Fresh, of course.
I hope the personal messager was a re-gift!
