I remember when working , come Christmas they always had those secret Santa random drawings where you got a co-workers name and were supposed to get them something for under 10$.
This resulted in two embarrassing things happening, first I could not imagine for the life of me what this person who I barely know would like, much less something that costs 10$.
What costs 10$ any more?
The other thing that happened was some co-worker who I barely knew would sidle up to me in a awkward way, whisper that he had drawn my name what would I like?
Now I had to think of something That I would like for under 10 $ to.
Great twice the work.
There were limitation on what you could ask your college to get,This had to be office appropriate, another limitation. Its not like you could say. Bob go down to this little used book store into the basement through the curtain at the back, there in the unmarked box is a copy of Starlog magazine, I have been meaning to get Its right next to the old issues of Omni magazine.
You don't want any one at work to know you read that stuff.
so the entire secret Santa thing deteriorated into a collection of Christmas ornaments and coffee cups.
Now here I am at badger and blade right ?
I was thinking of all the nice things I could have asked for IF i had only known,
Packages of double edged razor blade's
a bottle of pinaud club man
Shaving sticks
type typewriter ribbon's
ink for fountain pen's
silicon or foam ear plugs
twinkies
If only I had known
I still have no idea of what to get the other people,
