Hello ED hive mind. I am Secret Santa to someone who would like "something useful", and I was trying to think of something really useful for about ?10 or under. So, I'm wondering, what's the most useful thing you own in that price range?


Maybe something you are surprised to find yourself using every day, something unassuming, etc etc? Thanks in advance!

I'm a cyclist, I often employ such nasal clearing methods.


It's wonderfully empowering in a weird way and eco friendly.


And suitably disgusting.



As for useful things, I've a flat credit card holder with slots on each side, made of leather. Very very handy.

I love Xmas and especially the buildup. Works secret Santa's can fark right aff. Like I need those little fishes that curl up to tell me my future...or a wooden puzzle. Or tie with rudolph the red nosed reindeer that plays when you press a button..the list of tat goes on and on. .



OP not a works secret Santa. ..but I had to get it aff ma chest..#buildup17

Thank goodness I've never had to do Secret Santa with colleagues. This is amongst friends, so should hopefully avoid getting a load of plastic tat. For a tenner I've gotten her the enormous Almost Everything There is to Know (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Almost-Everything-There-Timothy-Hunkin/dp/0600570878) and a handy multitool, so if all you were getting were fortune telling fish (6 for ?1.65) HMB you were very short changed.


This thread has also reminded me to buy a steamer, so thanks!

Now I'm absolutely livid. I got Clive from accounts a plastic beer tumbler which attaches to a hat and has a straw. And I get 1.65 fishes. Next year...


I'M OOT.

    • This is NEXT WEDNESDAY 11 June! Just turn up if you prefer not to give prior notice! The Palmerston from  7pm, turn left as you come in! (If you have been hiding under a rock, The Palmerston is the pub on Lordship Lane on the corner of North Cross Road).
    • Yes, at first I assumed that the bin men had taken flowering plants from my front garden while getting at my brown food bin, instead of reaching over the wall. I was very confused as I couldn't see any obvious gaps. Surely taking Toadflax from a resident's wall is not part of the council's remit? What next, are they going to come round and trim hedges in front gardens? 🤬
    • Oh, so that was the council.  Someone ripped some lovely flowering Toadflax from our wall and threw it in the gutter.  I assumed that a child had done it.  How strange?
    • Black open bag found on pavement on Goodrich Road this morning filled with electrical type items. Please message me if yours with description of what should be inside. Thanks
