Do you have a secret Santa this year? Yes.
Is it work, family or both? It's my friend group.
What is your agreed budget? We said there wasn't really a set budget, just don't go super crazy. We're doing a nice gift, and then a funny gift, so we didn't want to restrict it too much.
Do you often go over or under budget? I always go over budget for everything. I can never justify spending even $5 on myself for anything, but when Christmas comes around, I spend way too much money on everyone.
Do you like the person you're buying for? Yeah he's alright. He's not one of the people I'm closest to in our group, but I don't dislike any of them.
Do you know what you're going to get for them? I got him this like, alcohol flask set thing, and I think I'll get him some sort of candy and then maybe something Green Bay Packers because we both like that football team, so it would be nice to get something along those lines. I also got him these little baby shark finger puppet things as part of the "gag gift". He has a niece who is like 3 months old, so even though he can't use them, I'm sure he'll give them to his niece, so it's not a complete waste.
Have you tried to swap your secret Santa with someone else? Nah, we're a group of 5 and I like all of them. It'll just be more of a challenge shopping for him because I don't know him as well.
What's the worst gift you've ever given and/or received for secret Santa? I've never really given any bad gifts, other than gag gifts I suppose. So if we're talking about that, the only gag gift I've given is the baby shark finger puppet things as mentioned above, so I guess that.
