Help Me Save My Life - Secret Santa!
Hi Guys,
It's just possible you might be able to save my bacon 
It's that time of year again  and we're doing "Secret Santa" at work.
We've all got a 'budget' of £5.00 (I know, how much!!!???) and I haven't got a clue what to buy.
It needs to be something that I can get hold of by the start of next week (or maybe Tuesday at the lates), it needs to be something a little bit silly (without being too rude  ). It doesn't neccessarily need to be functional / practical but if it had some use then that would be a real bonus.
I know this is probably a bit lame but I am rubbish as buying presents at the best of times so you can understand why I'm stumped now.
If anybody has any ideas at all I'd be grateful.
Cheers guys,
Raist.

I know, I know, I was kind of hoping to go for something a bit more silly. I'm tempted by the edible undies on that site but I'm not sure that would go down terribly well.....

If someone asked to buy it, would that make it an Order of the Bath?

You could spend the fiver on paper and glue, and make them a scale model of the tower of london from paper mache...
