'Elefant' gift event at work

This morning Osmara, an employee from another department, stopped by at my desk to invite me to join her after work at the gym for a special workout. Unfortunately I had already another commitment for tonight, but maybe next Tuesday we can exercise together. That would be so much fun!
After work I originally had made arrangements for a handyman to come to the house, but he had finished early and gone somewhere else. That suited me fine, as I still had to purchase a gift for an "Elefant" gift event at work. This means I have to wrap the gift in a brown bag, so all gifts look the same. When it is your turn to get a gift, and you don't like what you get, you can exchange it for a gift that someone else got. Likewise this can happen to you to! This type of gift giving is always a lot of fun, especially when there is a favorite gift that many people like....
I had already bought a small book on Christmas traditions as stocking stuffer, and now wanted to buy something useful. As I'm always promoting environmentally sound habits I think that a stainless steel water bottle would make a nice gift. I will see tomorrow if my co-workers also like this idea.
