The last couple of years i have got some crackers from my secret santa's, my boss in my first year at new job got me a Balaclava, he thought that it would be handy, considering where i was from!!!

my second year one of the student girls who we'd had doing the admin work, got me a thong :D and a toy chicken that you pulled and made a "c**k-a-doodle-do" noise ;D

Brilliant, feel like turning up at the Xmas do in just my balaclava and thong!!

Got my female boss a bottle of fanta (500ml), cut off the bottom of it and taped two rolled up balls of paper at the bottom. Wrapped it up so ot looked like something obvious, which caused a giggle. She was forced to open it in front of everyone and delightfully (totally under used word), discovered the chocolates which I'd placed inside the fanta bottle.

PS in the days before the sue sue Irish culture

I looked around at all the crap presents I received from last year, picked a couple and wrapped them up.

Hang on...

I've just realised people are giving me crap presents.
