Santa is the name...

Presents are the game. 

Christmas is not over yet for me, I was dashing around the shops all day today trying to find a secret Santa present for someone I barely know from work. 

The only thing I was not allowed to buy was chocolate...damn. 

I thought about buying a set of mugs, trawled the shops for a nice photo frame, I found some nice towels before I realised that is not really appropriate. 

I thought about buying a candle, but Yankee Candle is closing down so I didn't want to look like a cheapskate buying a half price candle. 

I thought about making a mini hamper and dismissed it as too much effort. 

I went back to the shops I had already been in 2 or 3 times and probably looked incredibly dodgy. I thought about jewellery and decided that was too personal. 

I had a Mc Donald's to calm my nerves. I am the newbie at work so even though it's called 'secret Santa' everyone knows who got what for who so I needed a decent present. 

After 5 hours I settled on these...


I also bought these for Scarlett, which is probably a bad idea but I wasn't thinking straight by that point! 


have a feeling I will be bleaching the tiles in the bathroom tomorrow. I must remember to tell her not to colour the rest of the walls in the house...
