Choosing the right Secret Santa gift!

What’s the problem? Well, there's no guarantee they won't know it's you that sent it...

So... how do you get someone in the office something that’s so expensive that they suddenly think you fancy them, or so cheap looking – even though it did actually cost you more than you wanted to spend - that they are frosty with you for the next month?

And there’s the issue – value for money needs to be mixed with something that says ‘Hey, I know he / she really did put some effort into this for me’ while at the same time not being so outwardly showy that people start shipping you together.

So, unless you really do want to ask him or her out, jewellery’s out and electronics are too expensive. It’s at this point you can turn to something humorous but useful. That’s where we have some great ideas for you. Either buy them singly if that’s your budget, or use them as part of a larger present to ‘top things up’ and make a memorable Secret Santa surprise that they’ll remember this time next year. So, here’s a short list of some Secret Santa gift ideas for under £10.

Secret Santa Mugs

Who doesn’t like a mug? At £8.75 (with some as little as £5 during sales) they well are under the £10 mark and a great value secret Santa gift.

Well, again, this is also probably a good choice for most and for men buying for a lady, this can be funny extra thrown in with some nice Christmas goodies, depending upon their taste.

Mugs make great office presents, our classic and very popular Turn It Off and On Again range of cards and gifts really do make for the perfect office Secret Santa.

Coasters Aren’t Just for Xmas - but they are good for secret Santa gifts!

Not wishing to push a point, but a mug makes a mark on a desk, doesn’t it, and so what better to go with one than a funny mug coaster – job done, present sorted, thank you and on to the next. At £3.25 these coasters make a great little Secret Santa gift for under £5 on their own or as part of a few Christmas goodies for under £10.

Secret Santa Pens - everyone needs pens!

Yes, we a selection of funny and rude pens too, with new ones for 2025  – just the ticket for that humorous extra gift for Christmas and perfect at just £3.50, whether you're looking to come in .

Plus you can write their Christmas card with it first!

Secret Santa Badges!

Do they like travel?

No that holidays are (at least partially) back on the menu, what about some travel accessories? So I’m not saying that luggage labels and travel wallets will really do as a secret Santa present all by themselves - at just 50p each they are a great extra if you're trying to spend under £5 for a Secret Santa gift - but hey, they’re a brilliant little extra if you know that your Secret Santa recipient loves to travel. They’re thoughtful and funny extras - as long as you realise you can get away with just that as a gift. Come on now...

Knick-knacks to make them laugh.

If you’re looking for one or two extra little top up the presents as part of a Secret Santa gift, we’ve a whole host of trinkets to help you make up that value, including badges, keyrings and fridge magnets
