Day 1 - Orange Green Tea
Day 2 - Peanut M&M's and a Glass Tray
Just so you know... I did get full bag of M&M's, lol. And no, I didn't eat them all. I actually put most of them in the bucket I received on Day 1. I also drank the tea. Yum!
Day 3 - Floral Arrangement Diamonds
Okay, I do have to say that I am scratching my head over this gift. We all filled out Secret Santa questionaires before the exchange. I did not say I'm into flower arranging nor does anything in my cubicle even remotely would elude to it. (Personally, I think this is a re-gift because the packaging is very scuffed up)
Day 4 - Penguin List Pad and Bag of Tea
Day 5 - The "Big" Gift
On Day 5, we were to buy a $10-15 gift. I received a vase. (Yes, to go along with the re-gifted diamonds) Paris, flowers, vases, birds... none of these were on my Secret Santa questionaire. It's been an interesting exchange, that's for sure. The BF asked me, "Did you open *that* and say: What the hell is this?" LOL (No, I didn't.)
Too fun.
ReplyDeleteNeat! How fun to do in your work place. =)
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun. Glad that you like your new job.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a secret Santa in your office.

Sounds like a fun exchange! What was Day 3? What a cute bucket.
ReplyDeletePerhaps another gift will show up that will go with it - like
ReplyDeleteartificial flowers for Christmas or something like that.
Blessings, Donna
But knowing you, you will find a use for them that no one else would have thought about! Great gifts!
ReplyDeleteThe diamonds are for the flowers that are coming later! Judi in Phx
ReplyDeleteWell, a regift fron a coworker is better than one from one's MIL. We had something called a Yankee Swap at work.I am a yankee and never heard of it. Apparently, folks pic numbers to estabish an order and you go and pick a wrapped present but if you don't like it, you can steal someone else's present. crazy.
ReplyDeletewell...the vase is not my style (or worth $10) but who knows - maybe you can find someone who might enjoy the birds and pass it along.
ReplyDeleteLol, that's a whole lot of fun. We have secret santa on at out work place too and quite a lot of fun activities going on for the season. Lots of fun
ReplyDeleteThat is always disappointing, especially when you go to a lot of trouble for your partner and obviously someone did not do that for you. I'm not much into that sort of thing, either, but I did have fun making a "fake" arrangement last year. You could do a couple with that vase...a spring and a winter. At the worst..you can donate it to thrift for someone else to be excited about finding :)
ReplyDeleteThe vase is pretty!
ReplyDeleteWe did an all-year Secret Pal at our job, and mine either got fired or got tired of it, because I got nothing after June. Oh well
