Help, I just found out yesterday that tomorrow we are having our christmas meal at work and playing dirty santa. I need to find a gift for $10. We have men and women in our office. Any suggestions would be great.
thanks

What's "dirty santa"? Adult gifts? Lube?
I think it's another name for a White Elephant gift exchange aka Yankee Swap. Definitely not "dirty" in that sense of the word unless the office is a really, um, swingin' place! lolQuote:

Maybe a little theme? A mug with biscotti and coffee or tea bags and cookies or hot chocolate?
At my old offices, the Starbucks and Borders gift cards always got passed around the most.

It's anonymous so who would know??? :)
Ten $1 scratch tickets.
$10 gift card, you could do Victoria's Secret if you want to make it slightly naughty ;)
Pick up an inexpensive DVD (like a Christmas Story) if you can find it for $5 or $7 and add microwave popcorn and a box of "movie theatre" candy like Raisinetts or Jr. Mints.
Pretty ornament if all celebrate Xmas...
Bottle of wine or 5 bottles of Two Buck Chuck.
LOL, I'm cracking up at the idea of someone bringing a NSFW gift to an office Dirty Santa exchange .... reminds me of that scene in Bridget Jones Diary where she goes to what she thinks is a 'tarts and victars' party but everyone else got the call saying to just come in regular clothes.Quote:

This is exactly what I thought. And I was wondering what kind of workplace would have this as the gift exchange theme.Quote:

Well, I worked at a law firm where if the attorneys held a secret santa amongst themselves, I can totally see it being "adult" themed. The head partner and the "managing" attorney were both female too so it's not like it's an old boys club thing. Just very tightly knit group.
In high school, one class of mine held a secret santa. I had a legit gift, but wrapped up a condom (new/unopened) in a small box that normally holds jewelry as a gag gift. My buddy didn't have a gift so I gave him the gag one. That one caused a funny scene at my sheltered high school. :p
On a more serious note, my network group just had a secret santa thing. Alcohol was by far the most popular gift passed around.
Oh, I thought dirty santa was just that...dirty. I guess I'd have gotten myself into trouble.
My first thought was a "Weener Kleener" soap... but I guess that was taking the Dirty Santa thing toooooo literally.
What about a Snuggie? You know everyone wants one, but never ever would admit it.
