Christmas Countdown: Secret Santas

This past week at work we did Secret Santas. We drew names the week before, and then we each emailed everyone 5 things we like. Monday through Thursday we brought a $5 gift each day, and then Friday was a $20 gift. The name I drew was Jason. The 5 things he likes are 1. muppets, 2. pipes, 3. naps, 4. apple products, and 5. blues/ black gospel music. It was a little difficult thinking of $5 gifts to take. On Monday, I took him a big bag of Snickers because he is always coming in our office asking for chocolate. For Tuesday, I got a coffee mug, and filled it with hot chocolate mix and marshmallows. For Wednesday, I took him a Christmas blanket with a note that said For Naps, and on Thursday I took him a stuffed Kermit. For the big gift on Friday, I got a $20 Apple gift card, and then made sugar cookies in the shape of the apple logo.

The 5 things that I said I liked were 1. Ferrero Rocher, 2. Starbucks, 3. cooking/baking, 4. snowglobes, and 5. anything related to Christmas.

On Monday, I received a 'K' ornament, with rhinestones on it...love it!

The first gift was wrapped in a gift bag without tissue paper, so I figured my Secret Santa was a guy.

Tuesday I got a $5 gift card to Starbucks...YUM!

Wednesday I received two packages of Ferrero Rocher...delicious!

This gift was wrapped in the Target bag that they received at the store. After that I was positive it was a guy. I figured it was either Brian or Dan.

On Thursday I received an IOU...

I thought it was hilarious! And it totally gave away who my Secret Santa was. Dan is the only person who would give an IOU.

On Friday, I'm sitting at my desk, and Dan walks in with a Santa bag, without tissue paper, and says, "I'm your Secret Santa." I was right! For the final gift he got me Christmas potholders and dish towels, a snowman ornament, and a snowglobe.

He did a really good job picking out gifts for me. I especially love the snowglobe. I collect them and this year I broke one, so I'm glad I got one to replace it.

It was fun participating in Secret Santa. I love giving people gifts. I still have a lot of gift giving to do, and only 1 week left until Christmas!
