Real Life MMD: Should I still get him a secret Santa present?

How about this - crop-boosting fertiliser - works on so many levels:

Stick your fiver in a charity box and don't buy him anything. It's SECRET, remember?

I'm confused by everyone who's saying you can't expect anything nice for a fiver. I've participated in a few Secret Santas with a £5 limit and I've had some really nice things - candles, biscuits etc. And I gave home made biscuits or chocolates as my gifts, which came in well under a fiver and were greatly appreciated!

(Hell, with BHS' half-price gift sale, you can get some quite expensive-looking things for under a fiver! I got my dad a lovely Courvoisier (sp?) gift set for £4.80 the other day!)

I would love a present for Christmas as would many people who don't have the money to buy one. If you can afford to buy him something maybe the following:

- A donation to a given charity.
- A donation to the many ex battery hens (British Hen Welfare) which have to be rehomed or adopted a hen for a year. You get an update throughout the year, keeping you informed how your hen is doing.
- Something from the Ann Summer shop.
- A large box containing a balloon.
- Anything that a lovely person like this soooo deserves.

You have to buy something but you don't have to own up to it, if you bought it do you!!
