How about a nice oil and gas gift for your upcoming company Christmas party? Because they have secret Santa deals and it would be the most talked about thing you could get someone. And the thing is, it would be a showstopper especially if you worked for a pretty conservative, large corporation. Everyone would be really bummed out--at least those who didn't get you as their secret Santa.
So it's a way to be the most popular person at the party.
But then again, if you work for a labor union or some other place like a very liberal newspaper, you'd probably have to explain that it's just a tongue in cheek gift. That you don't really mean it ; you could only get a gift like that if you're known around the place as being one of the office's most ironic employees. And then you wouldn't really need to explain. Most of your other co-workers would just get it and not worry about you going off the deep end. Because it could be taken the wrong way--depending upon your persona.
That's why it's just as important for someone to understand their public image as much as it is to know their audience/recipient.
