What to Get a Walmart Store Manager for Christmas...

[Ivan]

Okay, I'm about to steal a thread. I'm starting this one because I don't want to do that.

I'm my boss' Secret Santa. Spending limit is $25.

First suggestion was a $25 gift card from Wally World.

I'd like to be a little more creative.

Suggestions and jokes both appreciated.

Gift card to dinner?

What are his interests?

Does he golf?

A holiday sweater?

Starbucks (or other coffee shop) gift card?

Gift card to dinner?

Good backup.

What are his interests?

About all I know is karate and football.

Does he golf?

Pretty sure he doesn't.

A holiday sweater?

Not a sweater kind of guy.

Starbucks (or other coffee shop) gift card?

Believe it or not, he doesn't drink coffee.

Movie rental gift card?

Possibly, but I think he generally buys his movies.

Can you get one for $25?

How about a Bass Pro gift card?

A gift card to Target.

Believe it or not, he doesn't drink coffee.

And he calls himself a Retail Store Manager?!

Not sure about karate, but who is his favorite team? And could you get something related to that?

Is he a Christian? or is this more of a jokes type gift exchange?

Does he have kids? if so, you could get him something he could do with his family..

Most of the Christmas parties we do, we don't draw names, everyone buys a gift then we draw numbers..then if someone likes a gift someone else already picked they can take that one..then that person picks a new one..

here's one:

Marshmellow Shooter --

Maybe something for his favorite team. A shirt, travel mug, hat.

After seeing last weekend's situation, I think one of these is appropriate

or one of these

Hmmm...probably not. I'm not sure where one is around here.

A gift card to Target.

Or K-Mart! hehe. I don't know about where you live but Targets and K-Marts are kinda lame around here. Especially K-Marts. Hanging on by a fingernail.

Believe it or not, he doesn't drink coffee.

And he calls himself a Retail Store Manager?!

And he thinks by drinking sugar free colas he's not getting any caffiene.

Yeah, I know.

This is a no joke exchange. My career hangs in the balance!! Kidding.

No, he's not a Christian.

Colts is his team, although he's from Geogria.

Maybe something for his favorite team. A shirt, travel mug, hat.

Possible.

Targets are doing fairly well here...I think K-mart everywhere is struggling. They didn't "modernize" with Target and Wal-mart. We have "super" Wal-mart, and Target, and K-mart here though.

A "Buy American - Buy Union Made" lapel pin? But be sure it was made in China, or it'd cost more than $25.

 

[turmeric]

Find out where he shops and get him a gift card for that store?

Maybe one of those cups that say's, "World's Greatest Boss" like the one on the Office TV show.

I would buy him some beer. You can put some nice ribbons on it too to make it look pretty.
