We do this every year basically you pick a name at random then you have to buy them a cheap present (£10 max).
But this year I got a bloke who thinks his shit dont stink and believes that management want to have his babies.
So I bought one of those fake iPad looking notepad things and an empty iPad box on eBay I've then put it in a bigger box with those little packing foam wotsit things and a company comp slip that says "Thankyou for your hard work this year" and finally wrapped it up in xmas paper.
I cant wait  he's going to have kittens when he opens the box because no doubt he believes he's worth a free iPad from the company for xmas and then when he gets the iPad out of the inner box he'll be gutted.
Muhahaha!

10.99 is a bit steep, would rather just buy a cheap notepad from tesco and draw the apple logo on it

I did a skanky santa last year for our team. £1 limit. Then all the lasses in the office spat their dummies out so I had to do it all again for the whole office. They can get fucked this year!

Were doing secret santa apparantly.
Posted up last year looking for a box in a box in a box in a box etc etc.
Just want to give someone nothing apart from loads of boxes inside themselves.

I want our accountant.
We call him google, because he thinks he knows it all. Anything anyone knows or does, he knows more about it or can do it better.
So I am going to buy him a plain white mug from Play.com, only on the bottom after you lift it up, it says 'I'm a Cunt'
He sits facing everyone so we would all see it

I'm sure when the guy opens his Secret Santa, with a ten pound limit which he has also done for someone else, he is going to think he has a brand new iPad.

if he's as big a brown noser as davey says then yes, he'll probably think he's special.

You could wrap a paintbrush in Christmas paper and give it to your dad mate.

DaveyLC you my friend are a fucking legend.
My missus rekons she has got a netbook for Christmas but she hasn't (she's actually got a tab but she dont know that) so this will be fanny tastic.
Sorry to pinch your idea. 
Edit: How much for an empty box?  http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=empty+ipad+box&_sacat=See-All-Categories
