    $50 Secret Santa - What would YOU ask for?

    So we're doing Secret Santa at my work this year. The limit is $50 and I have no idea what to put on my wishlist. Now obviously I'm not going to ask you guys to choose for me because everyone is different and wants different things, so instead I'm asking: if you were in a Secret Santa with a $50 limit, what would YOU ask for?

    Just want to see what people would want to get and maybe get some ideas based on what you guys say. It also doesn't have to be one item, it can be multiple items, so long as the sum of the items is $50 or less. This is also not just for me, I'm genuinely interested in what people are putting on their Christmas wishlists these days

    Most likely a game or a dvd/bluray box set

    I'd go for one of those book LED lights (for reading, as well as for other random stuff around the apartment) and well, a book I guess to make it closer to 50.

    When asked what I want for a gift I normally say a prostitute, but I dont see $50 getting a good one.

    So cash or a $50 gas station giftcard

    A good back massage. No idea how much it costs though.

    A wishlist for secret santa? Doesn't that, like, defeat the whole purpose of getting a completely random and perhaps hilariously wrong present?

    i never understood the purpose of getting something you don't wan't or need. yes its the thought that counts but what's the point when you will end up selling it anyways?

    The idea is that you don't sell it, but rather keep it and laugh about it 5 years later.

    Like when that girl bought me a penis ring and a box of condoms. What was I supposed to do with the-

    Oh.
