It’s that time of year, when families, friends and work colleagues decide to celebrate Christmas with Secret Santa gift giving. A more recent Christmas Tradition, secret Santa gift giving is lots of fun! Two very important questions you may wish to ask, what do I buy for a Secret Santa gift and what’s the budget? In terms of what to buy, it often depends on the rules. Do you know exactly who are buying for? If the answer is yes, then you can target ideas towards their gender, hobbies etc. It is far trickier buying for an unknown recipient. In these cases, it is better to select gifts that are gender neutral and will appeal to many. When it comes to budget, your group will set parameters. However, with Christmas being an expensive time of year for most, it is usual to keep the limit anything from £5 to £15. Therefore, we have compiled this list of 10 brilliant secret Santa gifts all less than £15 to inspire you. We hope it helps and you have a fantastic festive period!
1.
Trivia Card Packs
Trivia cards are a great Secret Santa gift to give and priced £6 or less, they won’t break the bank. Of course, festive Christmas Trivia cards is the perfect angle to take. Choose between 3 themes: Christmas Trivia, Christmas Music, or Christmas TV and Movies. If you know the persona you are buying for, you may wish to plump for a specific decade relevant to them. We have fun trivia cards from the 1960’s all the way to the 1990’s! The final bonus? They are box shaped, therefore easy to wrap!
