Where I work, we draw names for a Secret Santa gift exchange. The limit is $10. Last year I drew the name of a guy that is heavily into electronic gizmos, so I bought him a tiny remote controlled car. It went over very well. He loved it.
This year I unluckily drew the name of someone I don't usually interact with at work, so now I'm stumped for a cool gift. All that I know about her is that she is female, wears too much eye makeup, and is in college.
I'm thinking about going to Costco and buying the biggest batch of toilet paper I can get for $10. I figure that everyone needs toilet paper, especially college-aged people. When I went to college, I never had enough toilet paper. Plus, a giant 50-pack of toilet paper wrapped in Christmas cheer will look awesome under the company Christmas tree. It will dwarf all of the other presents by a long shot.
I'm a bit worried that she might take this the wrong way, like I might be suggesting that she doesn't wipe enough and eternally smells like poopie (as far as I know she doesn't). Should I abandon the toilet paper idea? If so, you must suggest an alternate gift.
