Work Secret Santa Ideas

Hello,
I've recently started a new job but I'm going back to my old workplace for the Christmas meal and Secret Santa. I'm hoping someone can assist with a bit of inspiration for my secret santa gift as I am really struggling. The budget is £5 and people tend to buy things that are interesting/funny.
I've drawn my former boss - a bloke in his mid-late 40s, enjoys a drink (whisky) and has a decent sense of humour.
Any ideas???

I put this on someone elses thread but my favourite idea I have seen recently is to get a mug printed at asda (or somewhere else with a cheap photo desk) saying 'our secret santa budget is £5 and all I got was this lousy mug!'0

People do tend to go for funny rather than sensible gifts because they're all opened in public after the christmas meal.Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!0 -
