[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 725183, member: 2196"] We do Secret Santas at work every year. We don't have to, but I choose to because it's fun both to give and receive. Well, for the first time in the 12 years I've been working here, I have a VERY difficult secret santa. I got the athletics secretary, who is a total tomboy and not feminine at all. I have never seen her wear a stitch of makeup, and she dresses in jeans and tennis shoes and Tshirts. I don't believe she likes perfumes or lotions either. That's not a problem. Problem is the list I was given. Her likes and dislikes are so damn difficult, she is not leaving me much to work with. Please let me know if any of you have some advice to give me. Her likes: The color white. Seriously? Ummm okay. There's plenty of white stuff around so... anyway, her favorite hobbies are remodeling her home, and wakeboarding. I don't even know what wakeboarding is. Something to do with the beach, I'm sure, because she likes the beach, and she likes sports so I'm assuming a water sport. How on earth am I supposed to get her something related to that? How am I supposed to work around that? Her favorite animal? Starfish. No cute little kitties or bunnies, but a starfish. I googled online for any beach-y type stores that may sell some kind of starfish magnets or something, but all I'm getting is very expensive boutiques down at the beach. I cannot afford to spend more than 5 dollars a gift, 5 days worth of gifts. Her favorite thing to collect? Thousand dollar bills. Haha, very funny. This is not the time to be sarcastic. I need some serious ideas. Her dislikes are worse. Things she dislikes: Anything Christmas (what?!) stuffed animals, and decorations. That leaves out any Christmas ornaments or little knick knacks for her house. No fluffy kitties or doggies either. What am I supposed to do with this list, that's in my price range? I am seriously starting to regret doing it this year. Seriously. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
