this year, I have to do a secret santa thing. As a high school boy I am totally oblivious as to what to do. Supposedly I have to do small things for the person I have and finally give a gift at the end of two weeks. I will get the person's locker combo (might be a guy or a girl). From there, I am not sure what to do. What little things can I do for him or her during the two weeks. Build a snowman in front of their house? Leave cookies in the locker? I need some new ideas! Thanks!

Those are 2 good ideas you mentioned (the snowman and the cookies)...I had to this years ago when I was on the volleyball team... I made homemade cards with some new greeting each time I put one in their locker (you can do it on your comp if you have a printer) and taped Christmas candies to them. You can also go to a dollar store and get a small stocking and fill it with $1 items that the person may like or find cute...like pencils and pens and stuff like that. There's all kinds of stuff...just use your imagination.....GOOD LUCK!!

Cleaning their locker might be a nice thing also leaving snacks is great nothing is greater at the end of the day than a nice snack. Make the gift symbolic of who you are or something that will remind them of you 50 years from now. I'm 30 years out of school and still have photo's of old classmates who are slowly dying off. Photo's are always a great remembrance and gift maybe a picture and a symbolic gift! Dare to be different!

Oh what fun that sounds like.
We dont have that in Australia. Most schools dont even have lockers. But use your imagination.
Decorate their locker with flowers. A different flower for every day.
Download a different song off the internet everyday for them.
A different chocolate bar everyday.
You could even (if you dont have much cash) just write a 'thought for the day' on a piece of paper for them. OR a 'joke of the day'.
You could use internet sites for this.
Really, it depends on the person you get.
Try to find out what they are into. Go to the 'two dollar store' and buy a different Christmas ornament for them. Decorate their locker with fake snow and tinsel. Balloons.
Really it sounds like you just have to make them smile a bit.
Dedicate a song to him/her on the radio.
As for a present. All girls like hand cream. And guys? No idea!
Good luck. I would advise just do what you would like done for you!
And the snowman idea sounds great!

well i think this would be fun. first start by cleaning there locker,lord knows thats always needed. then go to a dollar store,buy erasers,pencils,cards,cute pens,you'll know if its a boy or girl by the inside of there locker. if its a girl,same applies but you can leave a single flower,hair clips,nail polish,all inexpensive items. one everyday. little gifts and christmas cards mean the most. its the originality of what you do that matters,not the expense. find out there favorite soda and leave one in there locker. lots of ideas,wow. most of all, HAVE FUN!

x-mas is a time for things great and small, secret santa might do colorful penciels, notebooks with cool pictures on them, cookies with school colors, cupcakes, nothing to personal, people might get the wrong idea, gift cert to Mc donalds star buck coffee, movie passes, gift cert are the best that way if you get a young man or women everyone is happy

For a gift, candies, chocolates or cookies like you said, is a neutral gift for male or female - it's simple, inexpensive and easy. So, I agree with that, unless it's a girl you really like, then find out her favorite perfume, jewlery, etc.
How about getting pictures, stuffed animals, or plastic things related to the song, "12 Days Of Christmas"?
Like, start out with the first day of Christmas, give them a small fake tree or even a dead branch, with a bird and say its a partridge in a pear tree. (Draw a pear, cut it out and tape it on the branch). (Include the lyrics so they know what you are doing).
Second day... 2 turtle doves.. and so on
lyrics:
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
A partridge in a pear tree.
The second verse:
On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
Two turtle doves
and a partridge in a pear tree.
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
Twelve lords a-leaping,
eleven ladies dancing,
ten pipers piping,
nine drummers drumming,
eight maids a-milking,
seven swans a-swimming,
six geese a-laying,
five golden rings;
four colly birds,
three French hens,
two turtle doves
and a partridge in a pear tree.

A few generic suggestions: candy bars, a flower, the latest issue of a magazine, a can of soda.
If they usually buy their lunch, leave them lunch money one day.
If it is a girl, buy her a pack of colored pens or multicolored highlighters. She might also like a little bottle of lotion that could fit in her purse--check the sample bin at Target.

little things like a cookies, candies, a single flower ( not a rose), maybe a card and so on for girls. For guys Twinkies, cokes, and a magazine of their favorite thing i.e. cars, tattoo's and so on
