At work we are all doing "Secret Santa" this year, but there is a catch. The gift must have the same intials as the person it is for and cannot cost more than $10. The initials of the person I have are J.P., and this person also happens to be my boss. Can anyone give me some suggestions of a gift I can buy him that has the initals J.P. and is around $10???? I'm drawing a blank over here. THANKS!!!!!

i dont have any specifics, but here's an idea:
go through the dictionary (J and P)
create two columns on a sheet of paper and label each of them J or P.
flipping through the dictionary, jot down the words (in the right column) that you find interesting, that might help you find that perfect gift.
once you've gone through both sections, survey the list and look for some J words and P words that go together...... now go off and search for this object, see if it's cheaper than $10..
oh god i really hope this helps, because i always have so much trouble with my secret santa gifts too.... especially when they have that twist. (yes i've been victim to the "initials" twist too, and i got this person who's initials were Y.Q!! it took me FOREVER to find a gift)
hope this helps and the best of luck!

Juicey Pears (maybe from Harry and David if not too expensive otherwise the grocery store)
Jigsaw Puzzle
Junior Pizza...a gift certificate for a personal pizza and drink?
Jalapeno Peppers
Japanese Plate - maybe a serving plate - the Asian look is very in so should be easy to find
Jogging Pants - I am sure you can get a nice pair of wind pants for under $10. Maybe stores like Kohls, Marshalls, TJ Maxx or Target...
Joke Pajamas...some type of Pajama pants that he typically wouldn't be wearing...Simpsons, Superman, etc...
Juice Pitcher maybe a glass one from Target or Wal Mart?
Hope this helps! Good luck! SD
