What’s the perfect gift for Santa?
Posted on 25. Nov, 2009 by Rob Watson in Male, Men
Sure, Christmas time is about buying gifts for family and loved ones, but what about the big fella that has to deliver them all?
That’s right, this year I’ve decided to find the perfect gift for Santa.
I’m taking full advantage of the Giftassist Experiment, that you’ve all been participating in, to tell me what to get Saint Nick.
Now if you’re too impatient feel free to scroll to the bottom to find the result, but be sure to come back here to find out how I came to this gift.
The Questions
I’m taking a slight punt here, but i’m guessing that even though Santa is 1,000s of years old, he’s probably got alot more in common with a man in his 60s. So I’m saying he’s 65.
I guess it’s hard to define the Relationship you’d have with someone you’ve known all of your life, but never even met. But hey, if someone is willing to bring me gifts every year he’s definitely a friend of mine.
I definitely wouldn’t want to appear too tight, after all he gives so generously, so £20 to £30 is my budget.
Now, on to the personality questions. He may be a little out of shape but I think it would be hard to call Santa anything other than Very Active.
He’s been wearing the same coat for an eternity so i’m saying he’s Not Fashionable.
He’s always surrounded by elves, he clearly likes a drink and loves to make children smile - sounds like someone that is Very Sociable to me.
The guy’s catch phrase is “Ho Ho Ho”. Can you think of anyone more Cheerful?
Sure, Santa may be top dog when it comes to the logistics of Christmas, but it’s the Elves that make all the presents. So i’m going with Not Creative.
How on earth could he manage doing what he does if he didn’t Love his Job?
He’s been married to Mrs Claus for as long as anyone can remember, so he clearly Loves his Family.
He rides around on a sleigh that flies! He’s got to Love Gadgets.
He’s surround by little helpers, does he do much DIY? I really don’t think so.
So I hit GO and this is what Giftassist tells me…
The Result
It’s an Electric Cork Screw!
For a gadget loving older guy who clearly likes a drink, I think that’s pretty good.
What do you think? Please leave your comments here.
And remember, if you are in need of gift ideas (and not just for Santa) give the Giftassist Experiment a try.

Brilliant! I think Santa would LOVE it - especially as he’s probably tired of using manual corkscrews after hundreds of years! I can think of a few non-Santa’s that would definitely benefit from this gem…

Thanks Victoria
Manual corkscrews just delay the drinking enjoyment as well!
