Secret Santa for £1.00... Any ideas?

Help!! Work has decided to do a secret santa. The rules are you have to spend £1.00 and attach the receipt to it, and the theme is 'tack'!! I know it's only a laugh but I really don't know what I can get. (Trust me to pick out the boss's name aswell, although hopefully she'll never find out it was from me)!

Can anybody come up with any ideas at all?? I don't want it to be boring and anything like chocolates is out of the window because she has an allergy.

HELP me please!!!!

  • How about a couple of small bags of sweets, in a small box with a tiny plastic scoop and call it desk top pick and mix.

    I suggest you go into any pound shop and buy anything which is in there.

    Sorted.

  • Find a book in a charity shop, in good nick, and give that?

    Crikey!!!! I read this as secret santa £100! Hahahah!

    Hmm, - have a poke around the charity shops! I also second the pound shop idea! If the theme is tack, pick up the most horrid vile thing you can find. I'm thinking something like a fuschia pink and orange glass cat from a charity shop!

    ooooo oooooo, had another idea - how about xmas hats/ reindeer antlers/ earings/ flashy ornaments from the market?

    Christmas tack from the poundshop I'd say ;)
    If my typing is pants or I seem partcuarly blunt, please excuse me, it physically hurts to type. :wall: If I seem a bit random and don't make a lot of sense, it may have something to do with the voice recognition software that I'm using!
