    vase - marks and spencers do one a glass one for £5 (this is what i recieved in last years secret santa)


    these are fantastic,,,got one for my birthday(with flowers),and they look good.

    I got the ceramic one though,you can get them in cream,pale blue and also seen them in red.

    Got a cream one then decorated so bought the blue one,they are excellent value.And not a stingy pressie either.

    Lots of interesting suggestions, although I may be tempted to eat the cheesecake!

    I did think about getting her £5 of lotto tickets for the Christmas Eve draw, but then realised how gutted I would be if she won millions with my secret santa gift!

    She drinks lots of different teas at work Earl Grey, peppermint etc, do shops sell a special christmas variety box!

    I think its going to be thorntons chocolates, I'll have a look what you can get for £5!

    Sorry but I'd be really disappointed if I got something like that, it would look like the person put no thought into it whatsoever.

    On the teabag theme, how about a 'tea for one set', get a nice mug, some fancy teabags and a pack of posh looking chocolates.

    Or Wilko do this set which would be ideal and is in your price range - http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/invt/0269049

    Something more lighthearted but still on the tea theme:-

    Don't be scared to do something different! :)

  • I would be chuffed with any kind of chocolate - I've already been passing hints at work about this.

    Isn't it a secret anyway? So she won't know who it's from? I think if you don't want to offend then play safe with smellies or chocolate. Or how about one of those mug 'hampers'. Buy a mug, fill with some mini hot chocolate sachets, a stirrer, and some marshmallows? It's cute and she could use the mug at work?
  • I'd love that paint your own tea set - would be something I had never thought of before!

    This is also bang on the money
