One woman was left furious by the Secret Santa present she received from an anonymous colleague.
While typical gifts from coworkers include candles, socks, and beauty products, the mum found herself receiving something far more unusual.
She was surprised and disappointed to find her present was a crude colouring book titled 'Go F*** Yourself, I'm Colouring'.

The inside of the book consisted of a series of swear words and sexual slurs that are intended to be coloured in, as reported by The Mirror.
Sharing her experience on forum Mumsnet, the woman questioned whether she should report the "really unpleasant" gift to her human resources department.
She wrote: "I like a robust swear and I have a job that can very much cause stress but I finally looked at it properly today and a lot of the words to colour are not swear words per se but really, really unpleasant misogynistic, sexual slurs and terms that I associate with pornography not swearing.
"I have actually found myself quite offended that someone thought this was an appropriate gift for a fifty year old female colleague in a professional environment.
"My quandary is whether I should say something to the group or just hide it in the recycling and forget about it?"
Unsurprisingly, many weren't impressed by the content, with one user writing: "This is so grossly inappropriate for the workplace and so sickly misogynistic that I couldn't let it stand."
But others were divided, with one commenting: "Well I work in a professional environment and got the very same book last year. I personally found it funny and gave it to my husband.
"It was obviously given in the spirit of a bit of fun, no matter how many pearl clutchers are here.
"As for all the people saying go to HR I'd suggest take that huge stick out of your arse. There is no better way to exclude yourself from your team and gaming a grudge down this path."
A third added: "I would absolutely take this to HR. If it was an honest mistake, then they can apologise and learn to be more careful."
