    Default $10 dirty santa gift

    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! lol

    OP, I think there was a "Yankee Swap" thread the other day. You might get some ideas there. I'm drawing a total blank right now.

    Maybe a little theme? A mug with biscotti and coffee or tea bags and cookies or hot chocolate?

    That's what I was thinking! I was going to suggest edible underwear.

    It's anonymous so who would know???

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

    OP - not a clear subject for those of us with our minds in the gutter.

    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.

    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.

    At my old offices, the Starbucks and Borders gift cards always got passed around the most.
