Just asked filthy and he doesn't have one (unless google nest counts). That still doesn't really help answer that question though lol.

16 is what's really getting me

I could see stuff like a camera, a radio of some kind, not an electric toothbrush...

used for hygiene/health care/eating/cooking but not found in kitchen so seems more likely to find in bathroom/bedroom?

could be a mirror of some kind but it's not found in hotels so that's out

yea kinda stumped atm

So I'm thinking something related to food or eating, but that you wouldn't usually keep in the kitchen.

Maybe something like a candy dish or fruit bowl. Would those sometimes have writing on them? But some of those are metal.

I still don't see why it can't be a thermometer. Whether or not filthy has one is totally irrelevant to the question.

And tbh, the answer to that is probably gonna be a no regardless of what this ends up being.

Clarification: For Q13, does "appropriate for Secret Santa" basically mean "not inappropriate"?

If it's just something that would be weird (but not workplace taboo) for Secret Santa like a flag of New Mexico or a 10 pound bag of chocolate sprinkles, would you have said that this was appropriate or not?

Unless I guess you worked somewhere that required daily temperature checks as a Covid control?

"Appropriate" could mean 2 different things, as eb just mentioned.

I'd argue that fails the "most American households" test.

Before Covid, I would have considered a thermometer to be an inappropriate workplace gift in both senses mentioned. It's not just weird like a state flag, it could easily be seen as a passive-aggressive comment on someone's health or related behaviors.

The only reason I waiver post-Covid is because I worked at a place in 2020 where we were given thermometers and requested to check our temperature before work each day.
But if it were a thermometer, and I were the answerer, I still would have answered it was not an appropriate SS gift.

I'm going to go ahead and do a 50/50.

Is it used for or related to hygiene or health care?

Didn't we ask that #16 or are you narrowing it down more?

Ah I see, yeah I think the answer has to be yes.

It's not found in the kitchen so it won't be used for cooking.

Yeah, I don't think this is a 50/50 at all.

Probably more like 90/10.

The wife recommends the following clarification since we have different opinions on weather beverage related activities are part of 'eating' in this context.
