Secret Santa mix up at work

[agnes]

We did our gift exchange this morning. 

My SS gave me my gift.  I opened it and pulled out a coffee/spice grinder.  My other coworker shouted, "That was on my list! Did you have that on yours too?"

My SS looked at the wrong list.  I felt bad for my SS and she kept apologizing and telling me that the gift receipt is in the box.   

I'm like, "it's okay, I love it.  Thanks!"

At least she gave me a $5 gift card to Starbucks too.

Oh man how awkward. Was the other co-worker angry that you got a gift she wanted?

No, but now she's trying to buy it off me.

Lol. Are you going to sell it to her?

I'm thinking I might regift it.  lol

Can you do a trade for what she ended up getting?

We just had our work gift exchnage and it's one where you pick and then steal. A guy got a bag full of dog treats ... 1) he doesn't have a dog and 2) it's NOT a white elephant, it's supposed to be a nice gift...

Poor guy. Was the giver even embarrassed?

She got other stuff off of her list from her SS.

And that is a horrible gift exchange.  I would never do one again after that.
