Ok, I need £5 secret santa ideas, not including any kind of delivery, but prefably from a company where if they do chrage delivery, they'll do other stuff I want.
The rigged Secret Santa at work turned up trumps this year, it's for my smoking buddy. It's a girl (with long term boyfriend), She likes good food but rarely has many kind of what I'd call luxories. I don't mind spending a little bit over the limit for the prize as she's pretty safe. Prefably from www.firebox.com or www.play.com .

She'll appreciate it far more than any of the other crap for a fiver, and shows that you've been paying attention around her, something which long term boyfriends never do. She'll start seeing you in a different light mark my words, possible fling potential.

Mixed.
Thanks for asking.

First two 6/10. Final one 9/10 - partly as I am more suited to that position and partly as I had rehearsed for it by having two interviews prior to it.
