Secret Santa

We are doing secret santa at work again this year and they have upped it to 10 pounds. I have no idea what to get as have picked out my colleague who is a woman 40 -50 years of age. Any ideas would be greatful as would rather get something she would use than something that will just get chucked in the back of a cupboard.

How about a mini hamper? You could put in either toiletries or a mini bottle of wine and chocs.0

Oh its so difficult isn't it. I have moved jobs this year, but in my previous job we did secret santa every year. One christmas I spent more time looking for a secret santa present for £5 than I did for some of my family. I guess it depends how well you know them? Here are some general ideas:
Picture Frame (Next have nice ones)
Candles
Money Box
Cook Book
Perfume (Next & M&S have small bottles)
Hope this helps!0 -
When I have awkward work secret santa gifts to buy, I almost always get one of those indoor flower pot things from Marks and Spencer. They come in lovely pots, and all the person has to do is water them. They always seem to go down well, and I would love to get one myself!0

Do you know if she has any dietary requirements? If not, go for chocolate! Thorntons or maybe Hotel Chocolat? Everyone loves chocolate!0

Last year, I bought a gift of value just over what our allowance was (as it was for one of my bosses!). Not only did I not see her open it, but she didn't look interested, and then left soon after. Won't be doing that this year, pound shop for me I think!* Thrifty Bride saving for her 2013 wedding in the sunshine *0

How about a nice scarf sounds boring but its nice to have lots in different colours and styles to mix and match.#6 of the SKI-ers Club :j
