I work with a woman called Anna, she did me a bit of a favor a few weeks ago, and made it known in no uncertain terms that she wanted a Christmas present from me.

I suggested I take her out to lunch, but she didn't want that. I even suggested the good place.

Two weeks ago she went to WA for the first time for the w/e with her b/f and stayed in Dunsburugh. I was hyping her up for it and said she needed to stay longer and she would absolutely love it. She got back and told me she could easily live in W.A. - loved it and wants to go back.

I don't really want to buy her a present. But cause she was so insistent about one I thought I should make an effort at least.

I was thinking about it tonight. She's about 30, very hot, athletic, looks after herself, is a bit of a hippy with expensive tastes in all things wanky.

I want to spend no more than $30 to keep me off my back.

What do you reckon?

Art, craft, Cheese, Chocolate, body lotion - don't know. Something distinctly Margaret River may work.

maybe an air swimmer? or those thingo's you were selling

If only.

Air Swimmers is what it's all about.

She's a magazine editor, She bought two from me, and the favor was that she put the swimmers into the magazine she works on.

Sales of these fish have gone gangbusters - and she knows it. The article hasn't come out yet, but she is politely demanding a kickback, in terms of a present.

I told her that, as a journalist, she should be impartial. But she wouldn't have it. She insisted that I buy her a something that will impress her. Which I guess is fair enough.

Movie tix are no good - she gets them for free and gives them away all the time.

Nice soap, natural body products from the region are probably a great idea.

Does she like wine? Nudge the budget up to $35 to a pair. A pair of nice whites. Does she sunbake topless, or top on? Sorry, I lost my train of thought.

Yep, Margarets is known as a good white region. Can't go wrong with whites from there. Or maybe 1 white, 1 rosé.

I don't like giving wine as a present. Because when you bring it out, you know what it is. It's not something I like to give now - too generic. I think it tells people you've put no thought into it. I'd rather give those people some smoked salmon.

What I just wrote - about giving smoked salmon to people, has given me an idea.

My 3 employers have been really great to me this year and I want to gift them with some smoked salmon.

The question is, I don't want other employees know I've done it. I also don't want to feel like a brown nose, and make them think differently towards me. This is just my way of saying thanks for the year.

I enjoy giving, to people who help me, have I drunk too much?

Seriously, it's not protocol to give gifts to bosses - but, I really only want to say thank you.

I can get their home addresses and deliver it, or leave them a cryptic email message to pull out the newspaper wrapped items from the fridge.

What do you think is the best way of approaching this and should I bother?

I reckon get her those thongs with a bottle opener incorporated in the sole.

They are tops.

Damn - digital camera not to hand..........pic forthcoming.
Opening another Corona with my thong as we speak.........

I got someone a present one year .... it was a pencil sharpener that you stuck into the arse of a little plastic figure. yknow one of those crappy Chinese politicaly incorrect nic naks that you think is hilarious at the time. The only problem was I didn't realize that when you stuck the pencil in the guys arse he said in a very bad Chinese/Californian accent " **** me up the ass" and " ohhhh yeeahhh". The present was opened in front of everyone..... the guys 80 year old mother and grand kids. It was the worst **** up ever.

If you don't wish to make a huge fuss and "give" in front of everyone .

Then I would suggest, sneaking into your employers private offices , and hide the open "presents " of smoked salmon somewhere that they will find eventually ,in the new year.

They need not know that you are the "giver " but you will still get the pleasure of "giving"

merry xmas everyone xxx

Nice one - I think that's the way to do it. Make them wonder who it's from, and feel good. I'll descretely bring up two parcels wrapped in Newspaper, with a little card saying thanks for a great year. Hand it to the receptionist and say I found these on the steps.

When they fire me. I'll tell them who the present came from in 2011. They will feel bad and I'll feel good. Win Win

Always provocative - but probably not your best work. Hey doc!

Not so large pinkish dildo...

Nothing says "LOVE" like a Garden gnome.
