Secret Santa £5 gifts - ideas

xellieqx

I don't know if anyone else is doing this, but I've just drawn the name for the person I'm buying a secret santa gift for, and thought it might be a good idea if people see things around the £5 mark that would make good gifts, to post them here.

I think it depends how well you know the person, this year i got someone i'm really close to at work! So will go over budget (£10) but have managed to get some great bits thanks to some threads here.

In the past i've gone to BHS & got a funky mug with some sweets inside.. or one of the small alcohol gift sets in supermarkets/bhs etc.
Boots last year had some small classic perfumes/aftershaves very cheap

We are doing secret santa in our office but we don't know who we're buying for (we're just going to pick names out of a hat when we swap gifts).

With this in mind, I bought a 365 office dares book from Marks and Spencer for £5. It's quite funny just to read, let alone if anyone actually does the dares!

There are loads of things for £5 or less on play. Look under gadgets for some inspiration.

A lot of websites have a secret santa catergory, if you google secret santa it should come up with some of them. I know find a gift have some as that's where I got mine from and hawkins bazaar have some too. Like previous poster said play.com have loads of £5 stuff at the moment too ideal for secret santa :santa2:.

We are doing secret Santa this year fro the children. My carer wrongly stated that it was only businesses that do it. but lots of people do it regardless of where you are.

I don't know this girl very well, unfortunately! Thinking of getting her a mug with her name on, I see her drinking a lot of tea.

A mug is a good idea, especially if she drinks tea - Ive done that for my secret santa for work, I picked out one of the staff nurses who I discovered is a Man U fan so I bought her a Man U mug.
