This girl is really mean.A wind up merchant is a polite term for someone who pisses you off.If it was someone who was ok to me I wouldn't be so mean

what does "winder up merchant" mean?
if you're just going to get something realy (sic) crap, why bother at all? giving a crap present just says what kind of person you are. you shouldn't be participating in this "secret santa"
get a card saying a donation was made to a reputable charity (not a made up one) in her name (and make the contribution).

Take it from me - whatever she is like, get her exactly the sort of ordinary thing everybody else is getting. Some people react in a very paranoid way to the whole Secret Santa gimmick. You can't NOT join in, even if you don't really want to, because you suspect you are not popular. I gave a colleague something I thought was fun and unusual, and she mistakenly thought it was from one crowd of girls she worked with, and read all sorts of paranoid things into it. She sulked like she was insane all through Christmas, and after a while got other people assuming that it was somehow meant as a 'slight' against her too.
Secret Santa gifts are never really secret, for one thing a lot of the girls will cheat and say what they want from each other.
Play safe.

Be a nice Secret Santa and get her a gift. If you didn't want to take the chance of getting someone like her, I suggest in the future you don't participate. I "played" the game where I worked and at time got someone I did not like or they got me. So I have been there.
I recommend you buy a nice gift certificate to a local store like Target or a fast food like McDonalds or a nice restaurant if the price amount is enough. Put it in the little box, wrap it, put than in another box, wrap it, and then in a final box and wrap that very nicely with a very cute Xmas tree ornament on top instead of a bow.
The worse Secret Santa I ever got was from a guy I did not like, a huge HUNK of fresh meat and I did not eat beef!
Don't have her remember you because of attitude, instead have her remember you with good feelings for creativity.

I don't know what a winder up merchant is, but I guarantee this woman is a better human being than you are being in this situation. Grow up and buy her the nicest gift you can think of within the dollar amount agreed upon.

secret Santa is the idea of giving b/c you have something to give to another human being ; it doesn't make sense to degrade yourself and your abilities to do nothing b/c someone isn't deserving in your eyes; it could be a time for the cream , you , to rise to the top and give of your heart ; what I hear you say about someone else whether true or not shows some room for improvement in you as well ; this is a good time for all of us to rise up and show the better part of us no matter what ; isn't that what the season is suppose to be about; every challenge is an opportunity to grow as a person

I've been in this situation once, l simply put a tenner in an envelope, job done.
You can't really enter into these things if you are gonna give nothing or crappy present to everyone you dislike.
Wouldn't feel nice if you were on the recieving end!?

Don't be so cruel. Even if the girl has issues it's not for you to judge. Get her a nice gift. If you had only certain ppl you wanted to buy a gift for you should have declined when asked to participate in secret Santa.

you drew her name in a secret santa and although its supposed to be a secret, people eventually find out who there santa was. You have to give her a gift. You can pick up a gift card from walmart and let her pick her own gift if you really have no clue what to get her.

If you get her something "realy crap" or nothing at all, then that makes you the jackass. So if you want to show everyone that you have no class, go right ahead.

You are a nasty person. If someone is getting you a gift, it is mean not to buy one for someone else even if you dislike her. Christmas is a time for doing nice things for people, even those you don't like.
