sherri1480 Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 We are having a dirty Santa party at work and I have never been a part of one before. Of course I want my present to be the one that everyone wants. So could I get some ideas for something great? We have a 10.00 and a 20.00 present to buy. TIA
Kibit13 Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 I received some "Tired Old Ass Soak" bath salts as a gift from a secret Santa exchange. They are awesome and the name is great for a fun gift. http://littlemoonessentials.com/bathing/bath-salts/tired-old-ass-soak.html Good chocolate is a nice gift too. It's something that a lot of people won't/don't buy for themselves.
Elmck Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 I would think a travel mug and Starbucks gift card would do well.
Rockfordmom Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 scratch off lottery tickets are always a big hit, reusable coffee cup with starbucks gift card inside, something from bath & body works
KBsDarling Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 i obviously had a very different idea of what dirty santa meant.....<blush>
BFQueenofNY Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 what is a dirty santa party exactly? my mind sadly goes right in the gutter...holiday season or not LOL
tokanm Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 We do a yankee swap here (not those NY yankees either ) lol
magst24 Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 what is a dirty santa party exactly? my mind sadly goes right in the gutter...holiday season or not LOLMy thoughts too!!
KBsDarling Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Me too...so thought this thread needed moved to GD after Dark for some real fun! LOL HO HO HO! lmao
Kara1204 Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Ummm...yeah, I was thinking you meant something from the "Adult Entertainment" store. So, it is more like a "Practical joke" gift???
mysschevous Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 It is where the first person gets to open the present, the second opens theirs, and decides if they want to keep it or trade it to the first, and so on. The last person gets to pick from everything that has been opened so far. They are fun. :)

They are fun. :). in that case....my brother used to do these at the bank and he used to rave about the gifts, not sure what their limit was but he used to bring home some good stuff. a bottle of vodka one year, another year he got a kodak camera with the easy printer not sure what else. I too was a little unsure as to what type of exchange it was:P I think if you've been able to get bargains through gottadeal no matter what you get it will be good. You can't beat giving something worth double the limit or more and the recipient will feel a winner regardless :)
sherri1480 Posted November 30, 2011 Author Posted November 30, 2011 Me too...so thought this thread needed moved to GD after Dark for some real fun! LOL HO HO HO! lmaoLol, didn't realize how it sounded until now....
BFQueenofNY Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 ooohhh I have heard those parties called many things, but never dirty santa....bahahaha that's funny
SuggaD Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Is this the same as a White Elephant party? I thought the gifts were supposed to be gag like, but I've never done one. We are having one next week and I plan on bringing an insult parrot that I found on amazon. Now I'm second guessing myself.

Stuff like that always seems to get "stolen" at the white elephant parties I have been to.

I hope it is one those once you turn it on , it will never shut up onces. What a great idea you got thereIt's labeled adult only. Supposed to be really funny adult insults.

DiamondGal Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Two images of what a dirty Santa party could be came to mind and I was wrong on both counts! The first was an actual Santa in need of a bath, like all soot and possibly drunk. The other image is not for mixed company, lol!

Yes, please do get the parrot and let me know what is the person's reaction.
leefamily23 Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 We are doing this w/ a theme in family this year. The theme is "As Seen On TV" gifts. It's more for fun than anything else, I am looking forward to see what silly things people were able to find. I know I got some Robo-Stir thing, a set of "Sham-Wow's" and I have 1 more to pick up.
pogiporkchop Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Eggies! :) (That would be my suggestion... I've never taken part in this type of exchange.)
mom2monkiesx3 Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Absolutely with out a doubt this (its useful too!)http://www.amazon.com/Bonny-Boy-Manneken-Liquor-Dispenser/dp/B0002COPGG/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1323445065&sr=8-5 I bought a few to give as gifts this year too http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31n6wyKoxmL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

SuggaD Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 So I brought the insulting parrot to a white elephant party a week ago and it was a huge hit. It had us laughing for hours. The person who ended up with it though, I doubt will get much enjoyment from it, but it entertained all the other guests during the party.
