A question about : Secret Santa

Right - that's the last time I do a Secret Santa at work - I usually put quite a bit of effort in to get something suitable and spend up to the Ј10 agreed amount.
What did I get ? pair of Ј2 earrings - and I don't even have pierced ears!
Bah Humbug.

A question about : Scrooge award

Any ideas?

I'm sure this must have been thought of before, but there must be an incredible amount of expense and waste on those bits of cardboard called greeting cards. It's nice to receive and send them all the same.

How much does it cost to manufacture these things? The specialized ones for relatives birthdays are the biggest rip off.
