Dirty Santa

My family is doing a Dirty Santa thing this year.  Max is $25.  Help a sista out.  What should I get?

Re: Dirty Santa

  • lmao!  What is a dirty Santa?

  • Totally not what it sounds like.  Everyone brings a wrapped present.  You draw numbers or something and then one by one everyone opens a present.  If you don't like the present you got, you can steal someone else's.

  • Wait, I don't think that's right.  I think you have the choice to open the present you get, or you can steal someone else's

  • I've never heard the term Dirty Santa. I have heard it be called a White Elephant. 

    Thinking about it Dirty Santa probably makes more sense then White Elephant. 

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Ahhhh we call that a Yankee Swap.

    Are you doing gag gifts or nice gifts?  Or a mixture of both?

    That's what we are doing this year! We try to kind of have a theme every year and this year is "As seen on TV". So I bought a Snuggie and these slippers that can also dust the floor per the advertisement, lol.

    If you got $25 I'd buy a bottle of Jack or some Absolut Big Smile I think everyone will be fighting over your gift.

    When we play around here, you get a choice of stealing someone's gift, or opening a new one. If you don't like the one you picked to open you're stuck unless someone steals it from you.

  • We do a white elephant at work.. this year I'm taking a 4 bottle liquor dispenser.. I think it'll be the hot item!
    Anniversary
  • Yep, also called a Yankee Swap.  I don't know whether to do gag or nice.  Adam and I both have to bring something.

  • Hmm I typically bring something nice, because with my luck if I bring something sucky I'll end up getting stuck with it.  And it's really shiitty to bring something nice and be the only one stuck with the size XXXL granny panties.

    Liquor is always a hit, and I absolutely die over the boxed gift sets from Lush.  They're gorgeous and smell divine and the products are always amazing.  Just get something unisex, or something girly (if a guy ends up with it, he can always re-gift it to his wife or girlfriend or mom or sister).

  • Someone brought a variety of margarita mixes one year and most everyone wanted it and it finally went out of the game it was stolen so much (if one person steals it 3 times, they get to keep it). Also very popular at my work is coffee...the ppl here go crazy over coffee.

  • One year there was this box of all different kinds of beers.. I was pretty excited to bring it home since DH loves beer. Turns out they were all expired. Glad we saw the date before drinking any of them!

  • Maybe I could do a variety pack of mini-bottles from the liquor store.  I didn't think about doing liquor or anything.  I saw some random spa crap at CVS the other day, so maybe I could do something like that too.

  • We did this one year at work with christmas orniments. It was a big hit.

  • my family does this every year.... we've had a ton of gag gifts like a thong, handcuffs, socks, a hideous stuffed pillow/ bird, diapers, etc.... really raunchy stuff.... then you'll throw in something like liquor or a gift card or wine glasses or something like that. 
  • oh my god we did this at doucheface's company christmas party a couple years ago and it was HILARIOUS. One item was a men's thong that looked like a tuxedo. Yes, the guy who ended up with it definitely put it on. Over his underwear. There was also a beer bong, and a set of stick on mustaches. The beer bong was used at the party.

  • Hehehehe -- a tuxedo thong -- Hehehehe! 

    Anyway -- Chocolates? Ornament? Lotions/Candles? Target gift card (helloooo hot item)? Although I'm not sure if gift cards are allowed in your game.  Maybe a cute travel coffee mug or something?
