The quest for great "Dirty Santa" gifts

Sign in to disble this ad
Both extended sides of my family get together and play that every year. We usually set a limit of 20-25 bucks per gift. The trick is to find a gift that would appeal to men and women. Usually there winds up being a lot of flashlights and plier sets going around. Ok for the dudes, but kinda a yawn for the women.

We usually call it "secret Santa", dirty Santa, to me, would imply sexual gifts? For secret Santa there are usually lots of candy/chocolate/treats. Such as a decorative mug filled with packages of gormet hot chocolate and marshmellows, or a tin of piroline. Maybe a herbal tea set similar to the hot chocolate.

My family does the same thing. I'm known for the craziest and off the wall gifts.

What about these?

Really fun looking. Cleanup after scaring the crap out of my wife and daughter wouldn't be worth it!
