Most would be familiar with this practice, so Im looking for help if anyone has any good ideas.

We run one at work, where the gifts are pretty much meaningless and designed more for the purpose of laughter and spend on gift is not to exceed $10.

For the 4th straight year I've drawn the same chick here at work in the KK raffle .. Now we've been really good mates for 10+ years so I always try and stitch her up somehow .. Previous gifts have included:

2006 - Framed photo of me flipping her the bird
2007 - Photo of her (that she despises) on a T-Shirt
2008 - Fresh Snapper Head

This year Im struggling for idea's and fast running out of time ... She always dreads my gift, so was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to what I could get her?

I go to toy world. They usually have a whole rack of useless stuff for under 10 bucks. Last year I got a bloke a fart machine, classic.

Another good one that I've seen done is to buy a bag of spuds, put it in a box and wrap it. They think they've hit the jackpot with this huge awesome present, usually everyone makes a big deal of how big it is, and then they unwrap it and.....

Get her $10.00 worth of scratchies and scratch them all and keep the winners and cash them in until you have $10.00 worth of worthless scratched scratchies. My brother did that to me for my birthday one year but it was 100 scratchies. I was spewing.

LMAO .. I'd already been toying with this idea (or an expired Lotto ticket), but I reckon you might have just sold me on this one!!

Although I do like the sound of the Spud option too lol

Go to Cash Converters and find some really lame arse CD's Like A William Hung Christmas and give her that

Get her a nudie magazine. Women nudie, of course.

At my workplace (if you call it work), i drew a girl that likes to get around a bit
So, with the same restriction, under $10, i will either get her a nude magazine, some shrink wrap or something of a sexual nature!! It will probably be her best present for the year!!

Well, if she does, then it wont be.

People don't take Kris Kringles seriously enough.
It's that one special time of the year when you can tell your workmates
exactly how much they mean to you.
The card should read...."I wanted to give you what you've always given me!"
Then they unwrap the $10 bucks worth of laxettes !!!

When you come into the pub next Booney, i think you will realise it will be

I got my Kris Kringle this year a "poser pouch" for those uninitiated amongst us.. that a little cover that a bloke wears over his privates... this one was made out of lollies and looks like a jock strap... my kris kringle was one of the higher-ups at work, in her 50's. Needless to say the look on her face and the others at her table was priceless.

Where ya get that from Lunchy?

Hey CP I got it from smoke mart.. i think they had things for girls' nips too!

edit.. forgot that they were marked down to half price so picked em up for 6.50

Smokemart also home to tins of "hard boiled wllies".

I was the only male at my 3rd KK event for the year and guess what i got (courtesy of the boss) when it was my turn to pick!!! Trying to work out which rellie to re gift them too!!!!

I've never been involved in the Kris Kringle custom.
It seems a little strange to me giving useless cheap gifts to people you barely know, but I guess it is good for the low end retailers, who no doubt encourage it.
I'm inclined to buy people things they may actually need if I feel I know them well enough to want to give them a gift at all...

However, I may be missing something....
I noticed a woman of my acquaintance, who is a bit short of cash, was heating water in the microwave because her electric kettle has died.
I offered to buy her a new electric kettle for Christmas, thinking maybe a nice stainless steel Russell Hobbs one, and she said. "I'd rather have something personal!"
Yeah.. OK.. not sure I want to be on personal terms - in that case I just felt sorry for her and wanted to help out...

Get her a/the kettle and engrave her name on it

I'm still struggling with the idea that perhaps I should skip the whole thing...

I know how you feel Psyb, it's just not the same - i'm gonna give it my best shot this year to try to smile on the outside - I am especially trying not too ruin the day for my family.. but honestly i just dont want to do christmas this year.. i walk around seeing lots of happy families going out their business in a joyous way and i feel so far removed from what they are feeling.... I've thought about it but what's the alternative?.. being melancholy and all alone, online,with only the pc as company - hmmm almost seems like an easier choice.. i'm gonna try though if only for their sakes if not mine
