Secret Santa / Office Gift Party Etiquette

[TangoJuliet]

I am curious as to how ATOT would reply to this.

Say you volunteered to do a SS or office gift party exchange and the person you got you did not like/get a long with ,etc. Say this person either bad mouthed you or threw you under the bus would you:

a. F him/her and give them the gift "minimum"

b. don't give the minimum but don't go crazy either

c. ask someone to trade with you (however, by doing this it may get out and further strain your relationship)

d. its the holidays man! sometimes its just better to give than receive

e. other

thanks!

E. Get him something nice, in hopes that he'll feel bad for being such an ass.

DISCLAIMER: It probably won't work, but it's worth a shot, right?

B.

Something generic that says "I am not a stooge who's going to make drama at an office christmas party, but I'm not going to spend any time thinking about what to get you either."

Like a $15 Starbuck's card in a gift bag full of Hershey's Kisses or something.

Would buy them Justin Bieber duck tape. That's what I'm getting for our SS/white elephant thing this year.
