Top Ten Worst Secret Santa Gifts

I hate when your office or workplace wants to do a “secret santa” gift exchange. The only thing you have in common with your co-workers is work. Most of the time, this is their chance to “re-gift”. I think it is a stupid idea and a waste of money. No one is ever happy with what they end up with. Just get gifts for your friends at work and call it a day.

These are the top ten worst secret santa gifts you can get:

1. Ugly earrings or other jewelry

This is the worst because then you feel obligated to wear the horrible jewelry! I have received some ugly earrings in my day, and I don’t even ever wear earrings! I don’t get it. Why would you buy someone jewelry??

2. Ornaments for the tree that you may not have because you’re a Jewish

I’m Jewish and I know that most people are not. I accept that. What I don’t appreciate is when there are people that totally don’t understand that Jewish people don’t want Christmas decorations. We do not have trees like the rest of you. Grrr!!

3. Scented Body Lotions and Body Washes

This is one of the most popular gifts and also one of the worst! No one likes getting scented body lotions and washes. Really? Why do people get this? If we wanted to smell like apples, we would, trust me.

4. A Snuggie

I can’t even believe that Snuggies exist but they do. Someone thought of putting a bathrobe on backwards and called it a Snuggie. Don’t EVER buy a Snuggie for someone! EVER!

5. Giant Popcorn Tins

Yes, we like the popcorn but no one wants this! It is a waste of money. We can pop our own popcorn. We don’t need gourmet popcorn in a freakin tin for god’s sake!

6. Socks

I have actually seen this before. My sister actually got a baby sized sock change purse one year! Can you believe that? And why would someone want socks for a present? We all own socks, or at least I’d hope we did. Stupid gift.

7. Cheap Perfume

Considering there is normally a low budget for secret santa gifts, the perfume will be cheap and smell terrible. This is just wrong!

8. DVD or CD

Usually people who work together don’t share the same taste in movies and music. Buying a DVD or a CD is a terrible idea, especially if it’s a Christmas movie or album of some sort. Ugh! The only way this could be good is if it is still wrapped with the barcode and you can return it.

9. Chocolate

Why do people think this is a nice gesture? You want me to get fat over the holidays? Chocolate, really? I hate getting chocolate as a gift. It makes no sense to me. Don’t give food as a gift, period.

10. Key Chain

Most people already have a key chain that they like and have it on their keys. No need to add more junk to your key collection which is already a pain in the ass to find in your purse and jingles too much. Don’t get a key chain, please.
