Bad Secret Santa Gift Exchange Ideas

7 gift ideas to ensure you won’t be invited to participate again

Does your workplace have a secret Santa gift exchange? Here are seven gift ideas to ensure you won’t be invited to participate again next year.

  1. Something clearly used or well-worn. Previously loved tea towels, anyone?
  2. Something chintzy. The dollar store has everything!
  3. Something well over the price limit. It’s a good way to show just how generous you really are—and show everyone else up.
  4. Something inappropriate. Think naughty, not nice.
  5. Something that’s the opposite of the person’s interests or lifestyle. You’ll be sure to get a big laugh if you give a book on grilling meat for your vegan coworker.
  6. Something super niche or specific if it’s a random exchange. Everyone wants crocheted cat booties, right? 
  7. Nothing at all. Completely forget to bring a present so one person goes home empty-handed.
