Going to be a lucky dip style secret Santa, so needs to be suitable for male and female. £2 Max spend, however I am working until 2 tomorrow then make starters for 10, cook a meal for my 2 children and as the do is being held at my house have a quick clean and tidy around and lay the table.

Any suggestions would be great.

I got a £1.00 bottle of nail polish from Poundworld :rotfl:
I bought a £25 Mac make up gift set :rotfl: tee hee oh well I should have known people wouldn't have stuck to the £20 budget.

Really? I've just bought some red glitter nail polish from poundland it's quite decent actually lol.

Shocked though someone would use that as a gift. We had a £5 spends but there was always ones who spent less or more money. I remember someone giving a copied Christmas CD as a present :eek:

I have included a £1 bottle of nail varnish in one of my secret santas - BUT it's for a nail polish forum and it's a brand you don't normally get in the UK so I think it'll be alright, it's combined with £9 worth of 'proper' nail polish-y stuff

I have got a lot of nail polish this year already, 8 bottles and I've only had two presents in (house and online secret santas) :rotfl:

Staint_Chris wonderful idea. I have some selection boxes which cost me £1 so a lottery ticket would be perfect to go with it.

Thank you, problem solved:-)

I've tended to receive stuff like calendars with floral scenes on or key rings for Secret Santa , which shows what an interesting person I must be .
Though one year, I got a Woman's Weekly and a packet of vending machine johnnies :rotfl:

Your telling me but when everyone agrees to the amount and you get out voted what do you do?:rotfl:

I think the person who bought your gift also must have thought the budget too high-lol, but didn't want to say.

You didn't want to spend £20 so you spent £25 instead?

I got nail polish. But i had passed it round far and wide that I LOVE NAIL POLISH. and its quite a cool duo one (2 packs)

Poundland do some good Revlon nail ones. But still, its £1. I'd have said something out loud about "hmmm I assume there is something else and the 2 packages have got seperated"

reason i stopped doing ours at work i always went out and spent over the money and bought a really nice present with thought gone into it and lovely wrapping and every year i got crap !!! was really annoyed i was going to receive a lovely gift last year off a women who i knows buy lovely presents and guess what the girl who always buys the nastiest of presents pulled her own name out so had to swap she got the lovely gift and i got hers (bl00dy awful too it was) went straight in bin. Never again
