We also have a secret santa at work (actually reffered to as secret Satan - because they are usually evil pressies). My boss has recieved many copies of "how to win friends and influence people" (he got Machiavelli's "the prince" from me last year).

I once gave my boss "How To Bluff Your Way In Management" and he thought it was brilliant. Well, it is, but ...

I was asked what I wanted for xmas at the beginning of December and said "ooh vouchers from XYZ please" ....so duly I got what I asked for and in the excitement of xmas day, failed to note the lack of card that usually goes with vouchers....

...Boxing day arrives and I'm looking at my presents, the vouchers fall out and on the back is beautifully printed by a till at moment of purchase "August 2004".......someone obviously wasn't too keen on the shop I wanted the vouchers from! Hence lack of card LOL!

My brother used to get really hideous clothes every year from our Gran, always too big, garishly coloured and often suitable for an aging uncle

One year, aged about 8, he was handed his present, held it gently and solemly proclaimed "No thanks, it's a squidgy present" and then handed it back. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Mum was mortified, but we still say it whenever anyone gets a "squidgy" present! :rotfl:

For Secret Santa two years ago, I got 3 rubber balls with bitemarks in them. I figured they belonged to my boss's little son. So the next year, when i got his name , he got an Ann Summers penis shaped toothbrush left over from my hen night!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Thanks so much for posting all these, I've read it right from the beginning and I've been in tears with laughter for most of it. I think my boss is wondering what I'm doing :rotfl:

My mum bought me a baby blue nylon velour dressing gown with a hood for christmas a couple of years ago. :eek: So now I can be a pajama hoodie!

We also have a secret santa at work (actually reffered to as secret Satan - because they are usually evil pressies). My boss has recieved many copies of "how to win friends and influence people" (he got Machiavelli's "the prince" from me last year). I always get off lightly for some reason - cookery books or chocolate.

i'll send my daughter down 2 u, you can both be hoodies, but dont knock her off the front page slot!!

havent read them all so i hope no-one else has posted anything like this (i somehow doubt it). how about your grandmother giving you your deceased grandfathers re-usable contraceptive (as she no longer has a use for it !!). apparently they were literally sheaths which were washed out and re-used. wish id kept it now to show the doubting thomas who dont believe me

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: OMG - don't know whether to be shocked or impressed at hers (and his) ways of being a true MSE :rotfl:

I have posted about this before as I have had so many unwanted Christmas presents from my hubby, by far the worse was one year as my main present he bought a massive picture of Everton's ground in a frame. I nearly passed out, I wouldn't dream of hurting his feelings by saying "I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT" I was close to tears.

So now I buy things that I want, give them to his mum and she tells him that she has some ideas of what I want and does he want her to pick them up when she goes shopping. Of course he says yes as he hates shopping.
He then pays his mum who pays me back.

Deceptive I know but he is happy Christmas Day as he has bought presents I want and I am happy as I get what I want. I always say - how did you know I wanted this, and he just looks smug.
