So, we're going to have Dirty Santa at the office Christmas Dinner on Monday night. I haven't gotten anything yet. What's a good gift that people typically want that costs 15 to 20 dollars?

Oh yeah, no gift certificates.

Lottery Tickets
Shake Weight (Maybe not for an office party)


Kinda hard to do Dirty Santa at the office. I think the whole point is to get questionably raunchy gifts

bottle of liquor

12/17/2011 11:21:11 AM

Yeah, I thought of a bottle of liquor too. But too many people go that route.

Beer. An interesting variety with a theme, or some glasses (not pint, but pilsner etc.) and then the correct style for the glasses.

Alternately, if you have officemates who are at all geeky, something like a cheap radio control helicopter might be fun. Could be hard to get one for $20 though.

12/17/2011 12:06:47 PM

lots of people do liquor because folks like it

12/17/2011 12:10:58 PM

I don't really drink liquor often, what would be something good for less than 20 dollars?

12/17/2011 12:13:03 PM

it depends on the group.

I've done funny things like 3 bottles of Boone's Farm, a Shake Weight, anal beads...

but when I need to do something more serious, I get a gift card for $15-20 and wrap it up in bigger and bigger boxes so no one knows it's a gift card and I still get to be kind of funny

12/17/2011 12:17:32 PM

It's a rule. No gift cards.

Yeah, and I'm not getting anal beads... There are some real conservative people in the office whose panties would be wadded up like no other.

But liquor is ok. Any recommendations?

Dirty Santa + conservative people in the office? Does not compute.

Dildo in the shape of jesus?

12/17/2011 1:15:50 PM

Dirty Santa is nothing sexual or disgusting. It's where you basically try to steal each other's gifts... There is an episode of the Office that did this.

Here are the rules:

if you're unsure of what dirty santa is.

I've also heard it referred to as Yankee Swap and White Elephant. Generally when I've heard it called Dirty Santa it involves more risque/gag gifts, but that doesn't always hold.

12/17/2011 2:12:03 PM

Made for TV gifts are always good. The HD glasses, the slap chop, shamwow, rotato peeler, snuggie etc

In our family someone did an apocalypse kit: mini bottles and a pack of cigarettes

12/17/2011 5:35:34 PM

I guess I will just hit up walmart tomorrow. If I don't find anything I'll get some decent beer or liquor on Monday before I go to dinner.

Places like Ross's that have all sorts of weird random cast off stuff are pretty fun to shop for Dirty Santa. Ice shot glass kit, nose hair trimmer , kitchen & bar gadgets, etc.

12/17/2011 7:03:27 PM

I got a NCSU snuggie for mine this year. I don't think I've ever been to one that didn't have at least one vibrator.

12/17/2011 7:28:33 PM

Fireworks, lotto tix and tequila
OR
Gourmet chocolate

12/17/2011 11:18:56 PM

flash drives are pretty cheap & work well as a dirty santa gift

12/17/2011 11:26:47 PM

I was going to suggest a pocket pussy

conservative people

12/17/2011 11:42:12 PM

If you think enough of the people there have seen Billy Madison, you could do what I did this year...

a whole bunch of Snack Pack.

12/18/2011 9:22:24 AM

I bought a wireless notebook mouse as the gift (with a miniature receiver so it can stay in all of the time). It was stolen the maximum amount of times, so I think it was a success.

12/19/2011 10:39:45 PM

You could do a hangover kit. Go to the drugstore and get shit, and put it in a bucket (that they can also barf into).

12/19/2011 11:59:13 PM

I need to do this tomorrow. My party is Wed and I thought I'd just buy a shit ton of different lube samples.

and maybe a penis ring pop for myself

12/20/2011 12:22:02 AM

Get one of those neo-Snuggie jump suit things with the butt-flap (can't remember what they're called)
