Secret Santa Gift Ideas?

[Britt.f7]

I think you are safe with nuts. Plus, being around the holidays, stores should have them wrapped up to look like a gift.

I found this article on the best flavored nuts: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/20/the-best-flavored-nuts_n_2905101.html

It goes along with the weird intuitiveness thing which often feels like more of a curse than a gift and which I seem to have spent a lot of effort trying to kill, with some success.

I am glad he has a good heart. Unfortunately had a vision of a BO, peanut and chicken smelling chap standing over a messy desk loudly telling everyone how many times he had gone to gym that week and then bursting into the theme music for Phantom of the Opera. Oh, and he has sticky hands...

When I found the magnet there were a mass of other things that I saw. Quite a nice key ring with a panel of peanuts in it for example. And peanut mugs. http://www.cafepress.co.uk/mf/18250214/rather-be-eating-peanuts_mugs?productId=116890894 People seem to love the novelty joke gift for secret santa as for that amount of money you are going to struggle to get anything significant. Personally I am :confused:Those along the rubber chicken route work well for those with a slapstick sense of humour. Lots of people go for something humorous especially when they don't have a touchy feely relationship with the person.

From a place of self interest you can either display that you have a so called sense of humour or a sensitive side.

I don't do shops if I can but you can very easily order online and have something delivered. Be warned that there tend to be items that are along the crass direction in joke stores and could be triggering.

You can't go wrong giving him nuts though. Good luck!

 

[Definitely..maybe]

A cheap bubblegum dispenser with peanuts in it!

Or a rubber chicken eating a peanut.
I think I'm kidding

@Britt.f7 Thanks. I was feeling reassured until I saw Chocolate Cashews and Chilli/Cheddar (really? spice plus cheese plus nuts?). That was the sort of thing I was afraid of. ;)
Jalapeno peanuts might be good. I can imagine him being the chili challenge type.

Everything except the BO.

I just googled peanut dispenser and there is such a thing but all the results were for the US. What does that say?!

a rubber chicken eating a peanut.

DM, I'm glad I'm sending you off to some better shops! :D

I'm kind of partial to toffee covered almonds and wasabi peas. The peas, while not a nut, are very similar in this instance.

wasabi peas very nice, but would point straight at me since I have a Japan connection.

Googling toffee covered almonds led me to "Muscle Protein Chocolate Nut Toffee Post Workout Supplement". I'm discovering a whole new world here - after my own workouts I usually have a bit of toast - but unfortunately it's about six times the price limit.

:)

It's suddenly hit me that someone is going to get me a Secret Santa gift. And it's probably going to be a rubber cabbage or pack of candy floss covered nuts. :nailbiting::nailbiting::nailbiting:

You might want to start practising your 'Thank you for the rubber cabbage' face now :D

I'm with Digger. Practice. practice, practice. In my experience anything can be nestling in that wrapper....:wideeyed:

'Thank you for the rubber cabbage' face

Lol. You mean :wtf:, :yuck: and :stop: wouldn't go down well?

Hmm....might need a teensy bit of work still ;)
