Default Office Xmas/holiday presents

I just took a new position in an office and was told that tomorrow is present swap day. I need to come up with presents for 7 secretaries. Any ideas?

A firm slap on the ass. . . or some Tim Horton's cards.

Secretaries love hardcore porn. Just ask them.

You posted here? Looking for a serious answer?

Gift baskets. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate. Skip the bath-products thing. That's just creepy to get from a guy you hardly know.

Timmy's cards will do in a pinch. They send the message that you barely cared enough to get anything/were forced to get something, though.

Head to the Second Cup or Starbucks. They'll have something already put together and wrapped that will be a step up from Timmy's cards and take less than 15 minutes to do.

Under no circumstances will you give chocolates. 9 out of 10 secretaries would really prefer the porn.

so...if it's a present swap, and you give to 7 secretaries, do you get 7 back?

It's too bad you didn't have one more day as you could probably find one of those visit your office massage places and get them all 15 min neck/shoulder or hand massages. Cost you a couple of hours of masseuse time but you'd score big points. Perhaps it would be worth a bit of investigation tonight and a call or two in the morning to see if you could get someone out on short notice.

Failing that, Anna's got ya covered.

Timmy's cards...heyooooo! Check it!

Actually, one thing I saw was that if you buy a gift card for Melrose, you get a free shaker (probably small). Might be a good different gift, though.

I think most would prefer a coffee shop gift card over a gift basket.

Nail files? Chewing gum? A mute button?

Wow - that's a rough spot......new guy (first impressions time!) and only a day to figure it out!

I like the gift card idea. Simple, put's the power in their hands, and is probably appropriate as a "professional" gift. Tim's and/or Starbucks are probably safe bets. Best of luck regardless.

It actually sounds like the set up to a porno..."Hello ladies, I'm new here and I wasn't sure what to get you, so I dressed up like Santa and figured you could take turns sitting on my lap and we could see if there's anything good for you in my sack."
