So I got given my boss in the secret santa.

As such, I'm going to avoid novelty. He likes cycling, though he's not a communter.

Any ideas for a secret santa for under £10?

    Difficult one, this. A few years ago I got my boss, and resisting the urge to do something 'hilarious' yet career-limiting was difficult...

    In the end I just got him some beer. Can't go wrong with beer.

    I tried that - and got my then boss some beer - no one told me he was a recovering alcoholic.

    Was severely career limiting

    He's quite an attractive commuter then? How about some Moisturiser or something?

    This - brilliant bit kit
    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Went for this.

    Cheers for the ideas.

    Needs to be a little more 'exciting' than just a couple of (granted, very good) tyre levers...

    Should have went for this -
    http://www.wiggle.co.uk/camelbak-podium ... er-bottle/

    Granted it isn't insulated but warm water out of this will taste better than cold water out of the Elite.
    For an extra keep quiet quid you could have got the insulated version too.
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    This is a way of bringing it up with my md :lol:
    Got him last year and bought him a belt, as no-one wanted to see his skinny pubic midrift mincing round the office
    Suppose thats why I'm still waiting for that payrise, bonus is he's taken the hint! :|

    Is he the sort of boss who calls a spade a spade? Or is he prone to shovel a bit of sh!t.

    If you're in a hole - stop digging.

    If he isn't yet in a hole how about a folding shovel
