YOU either love or hate taking part Secret Santa.
Chances are you’ll get something totally naff you don’t need from someone you don’t know very well – but all in all it’s usually good fun.

One woman was left totally unimpressed with what she ordered for her co-worker and it’s left people in stitches.
She took to Mumsnet to fume about the awful gift that didn’t look anything like what she actually ordered.
She captioned the post: “Secret Santa – This shocking right?”
It turns out the mum had ordered a glasses holder as part of the Secret Santa gift after seeing the product picture online.
She explained: “Work’s Secret Santa. Ordered two gifts, one was a holder for glasses. Described as ‘handmade from authentic durable Indian Shisham wood’.
“Erm… Not even close,” she continued.
The picture of the glasses holder looked totally different to what she actually revived.
Not only was it made from a completely different wood, but the quality was terrible as well.
The mum revealed that she bagged the present last minute, since she forgot all about Secret Santa.
She said: “It was from Amazon, she confessed, “don’t flame me any haters out there, I realised on Monday that Secret Santa was this week.
“I’m new to job and don’t know my team incredibly well at the moment, so I ordered my something that might be helpful and a nice ornament of sorts.
“It’s f***ing shocking though!”
Although she only paid £7 for the gift, it did have 4.5 stars online, which seemed pretty decent.
The utter fail left people in stitches and they all had something to say about the naff present.
One said: “My flabber is truly ghasted. How could anyone put that piece of crap in a box to fulfil a paid order and think it’s acceptable?!”
“That looks like the sort of thing that my 14 year old self might have produced,” a second joked.
“Someone else laughed: “That is actually quite funny.”
“I have that in my basket, thank goodness I saw this,” another admitted.
