I bought some of those face mat things but got a scented diffuser. About two hours after my manager sidles up with a subtle request to swap the diffuser for the mats. It was a joy repeating her request to the office and seeing her turn crimson

What the hell is a face mat thing?

One of those occasions when you probably had to be there and had been there for some time 😉

Ahh, the delicate diplomacy and politics of secret santa!
It’s a fricking mine field man.

Your manager wanted to sit on Matt’s face?

I don’t get it.

Clearly a crap secret santa purchase then.
If it was any good they would have been happy to keep it

if it was any good, pook’d have said nowt and had it back

Did someone buy you a scented diffuser or was this a lucky dip type thing?

You fail to understand the point of secret santa.

At least there was a present. My secret santa didn’t bother.

Nope, the point of secret santa is a proper wind up without the risk of involving hr

I don’t know what either of those things are. Is it a sex thing?

for the hard of google

Just two whips, one candy bra, one pair of nipple clamps/tassels and an inflatable cow doll were exchanged at our event this year.

Best was a few years ago, when senior management were all bought crack pipes.

Years ago one of the partners got a bottle of dishwasher rinse aid.
He was very confused.
He tended to say “let’s rinse this through” a lot.

I bought my steaming hot colleague a banana protector one year. I wrapped it very carefully in pink paper, with a slightly darker shad of pink on the end, put a massive name tag on it with her name and under the Christmas tree, it was the second gift there, two weeks prior. Oh how we all laughed as it was moved to the top of the pile of gifts everyday.

Her face on the grand opening of it was fantastic, a look of unsurity and fear. Especially when her best mate, wo was in on it, shouted out as the protector came into view – I bought my first one of those in Amsterdam

if someone bought me those face mat things, i’d murder them to death.

a scented diffuser! someone thinks you’re smelly? eother way that’s a girl present. is that one of those bottles of stink with sticks in?

Yes! The opportunities for sexual intimidation and harassment under the guise of ‘a bit of a laugh’ are just fantastic.
