Secret Santa at work

At work we did a small secret santa between about 9 people, 3 of us work in my office the rest in the office next door. I got a guy who is about 45-50 he works mainly at job sites and in the warehouse (manager). The budget was $15 so DH suggested I give him one of the windup radios I got (I was going to give it to his brother but his brother has one) it works by obviously winding the bar, plays music and has a flashlight installed in it. It was $10 so I would maybe strap a snickers to the box.

Do you think this is a good idea?

Re: Secret Santa at work

  • I've never seen a wind-up radio before, but it sounds cool. I think adding the snickers or a $5 gift card to Starbucks or something would make it perfect. :)

  • Does he like radios? Or Snickers? The answer to those questions decides how I answer this.

    Aw I think that's a great idea assuming that he likes music and candy...which who doesn't?  Although, I'd maybe get a candy bar without nuts because so many people are allergic to nuts.

  • I'd spend $15 on candy. Skip the radio.  But I hate stupid trinkets that have no real meaning to them.

  • Then why not get him some gourmet candy or fun candy? The radio with a Snickers thrown on top seems like little is involved. I'm with @aimothy on this one. I would not like a wind up radio.
  • Oh man!! I guess I have to try and find something today. Hopefully someplace is open during this storm.
