The Secret to Successful Secret Santa Gifts
25 September 2008
The concept of having a 'Secret Santa' can be a great relief at Christmas if you work in a busy office and would much rather spend your hard earned cash on yourself, than on stocking fillers for those people you really only talk to because you have to. But there are no clear guidelines on what gifts you should or shouldn't buy for those people who you spend so much time with – for those Secret Santa's who need a little help, then here are just a few ideas for
Stocking Fillers
to help you on your way.
Gifts for the Boss
Getting the right sort of present will depend largely upon the kind of boss you have – if he's more like David Brent then opt for one of the more light-hearted stocking fillers, such as a themed rubber duck. The 'Duckter Who' and 'Duck Bond' will flatter and amuse, or perhaps a themed toilet roll might appeal more to his 'unusual' sense of humour. If your boss has more of a 'Margaret Thatcher' side to her, then why not opt for stocking fillers that will really impress such as an Engraved City Desk Set or the luxury Hamper gifts? Not ideally sized for stocking fillers but who cares when there are Christmas bonuses to be won?
Gifts for the Office Joker
You should judge your choice of stocking fillers for the office joker on how funny they actually are. If his jokes are more likely to frustrate, then why not get your own back this year by presenting him with a 'Hanging Henry Light Pull' or a set of 'Crime scene Bandages' for those jokes that should really be outlawed. If they have provided you all with plenty of entertainment this year then why not treat them to some special stocking fillers like the 'Mr Tickle Cufflinks' or 'The Good Book Flask in a Book' to give them a refreshing read next time they're in the staff room! If you have a little bit more money to spare, then why not really indulge them with a personalised calendar or a personalised bottle of wine? '. Tis, after all the season to be jolly.
Gifts for the Office Gossip
The Office Gossip is usually the sort of person you need to keep on the right side of, but you may well have a few unsettled scores and a secret Santa is an ideal opportunity to browse the stocking fillers and get your own back. A 'Money Maze Bank' gifts should hopefully keep them quiet as they try to retrieve their cash; or a 'Princess Telephone Electric Pink' for the person who can't stop talking. For that gossip who seems to know everything about everyone then a 'Who's in the Bag Game' stocking fillers should make ideal Christmas gifts; or you could make them the headline news this year with a 'Personalised Mirror Spoof Newspaper'.
Gifts for a Stranger
One of the risks of a Secret Santa is that you may find yourself buying gifts for someone you've never really spoken to. But fear not, for there are lots of stocking fillers that can help you too. If it's someone you wouldn't mind getting to know a little better then why not choose from a selection of 'Grow It' gift boxes? With so many flower and plant gifts to choose from, and even a 'Grow It' tea and coffee pack, these stocking fillers are sure to break the ice.
For that person in the office who you want to keep your distance from then always go for those
stocking fillers
that will send out the right message – anything too light hearted and it might encourage them to start speaking to you if they ever find out who their secret Santa is. A 'Gelli Baff – Magic Swamp' that turns the bath water to green goo once should remind them that Santa only treats good boys and girls.
Gifts for that person you secretly Love
If there's someone in the office who secretly rings your jingle bells then this could be a great opportunity to let them know how you feel. If you want to go for the direct approach then you could just be blunt and give them a 'My Last Rolo Hallmarked Gold' – which pretty much says it all, and is sure to set the office gossip into overdrive. If you want to ensure a kiss under that mistletoe this Christmas then a personalised calendar is sure to impress just make sure you tell them it was you who bought their
stocking fillers
when it comes to the office Christmas party.
