He wears glasses, is from the North, has grey hair, and plays poker. That's all i know. Any suggestions?

Kris Kringle is another name for Santa Clause.. Kris Kindle is the activity of purchasing gifts anonymously for a chosen individual at Christmas time.. AFAIK

Dennis the Stone · 19-12-2007 4:13pm

With Kris Kindle, if you obsess too much about picking something to suit the person then you'll drive yourself mad. Just pick something that anybody could use

There's plenty of books on weddings around, funny ones etc. Just wander into a bookshop and you'll see something.

A man in work got me in the Kris Kindle and he got me a book he knows I wouldn't read and has now asked me if he can borrow it cos he heard it was good. The cheek! So basically he bought himself a book.

- If he's Catholic get him a Rangers jersey, if he's a Prod, get him a Celtic jersey.
- An anger management book.
- An "I love Georgie Best tee-shirt"

He speaks perfect Engrish though

Why all the fuss over what to give somebody in a Kris Kindle! In our workplace, we have a policy on not spending more than e15. There's certain perfumes and aftershaves in Boots which have huge discounts, so I pick a perfume/aftershave worth about e25 for just e15! And my KK thinks I've given them a generous present! (I hope they don't shop in Boots!)

Well I'm a man, so if I went into Boots I'd just get confused by the selection. There needs to be a big arrow pointing to the mens section or at the very least a line from the door to the mens section and then to the till.

Just to settle this Kris Kringle/Kindle I shall point you to the font of all knowledge Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kris_Kringle

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kris_kindle

Basically both are acceptable. Both are a mispronuncianation or corruption of the German gift bringer Christkind
