 We normally just have every ones names in a hat and you pick out a name and buy that person a gift for under &amp;#163;10. Sure, sometimes</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>RE: Secret Santa Ideas</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/173547?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 27 Nov 2018 19:53:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:6ed70483-6fc8-4865-a71f-208e33894377</guid><dc:creator>Sal the 1st</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;we draw out of a hat - I have quite possibly copped for the most difficult person this year but hey ho&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src="/emoticons/new/Winking_smiley.gif" alt="Wink" /&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;a few previous gifts I have bought at various places -&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;re useable hand warmers - really handy for those working outside or having outside hobbies&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- nurses fob watch,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a super duper reindeer pooper (it dispenses chocolate from its rear) which went down really well,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a life survival kit (I used to make these consists of a marble - for when you have lost yours, two pennies so you always have two to rub together, a candle (tealight) for those who have burnt theirs at both ends, a piece of rope (string) for when you have got to the end of yours, a crayon in case pens are not allowed, a coffee sachet because everything is better with caffeine, and a chocolate coin - not affected by inflation and enough to keep you sweet&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;keep calm I&amp;#39;m a vet nurse mug&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;pens - everybody needs pens&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;maglite&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;pocket nurses dictionary&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;scissors with name tag&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most of the Celia Haddon &amp;#39;cat&amp;#39; series of books&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a bottle opener and voucher for one of the wine shops (no point in me buying a bottle as I don&amp;#39;t drink and no idea what is good or bad)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and others I can&amp;#39;t remember or choose to forget - my gifts are a bit marmite - some like them some dont&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We do have a £10 suggestion but always go over especially if the resipient is well know to the buyer. I have had funny gifts as well as really nice personal things too. We tend to have a buffett lunch with all of us bringing food in and hand out the Secret Santa gift over a nice lunch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
