Title: Help me Secret Santa, you're my only hope!
Post by: Brazen on December 13, 2016, 09:13:35 AM
Help a girl out. I've drawn the most difficult of my team-mates to get a Secret Santa gift for. Male, early 30s, family man, not a big drinker, doesn't participate in office tea round, so the usual mugs etc are out. I don't know if he has any hobbies (though he's pretty competitive with the office FitBit steps challenge). Moved from Afghanistan as a kid so doesn't get all the usual childhood cultural references. £10 budget, vouchers are considered infra dig.

Then this is a must!

See if he's on Facebook and check his photos. He might not have them restricted if your not friends with him.
