Worst Secret Santa Gifts


Oh don't we all love the holidays? Gingerbread cookies and mistletoe! Oh wait... you have the obligatory annual company party with the equally obligatory annual Secret Santa gift exchange. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), you don't know anyone well enough to buy anything meaningful, nor do you really care to. Still, there are a few things even the most thoughtless gift-giver should avoid.
