£2 Secret Santa for teachers and school staff

Does anyone have any ideas for a £2 secret santa please? My husband is a teacher and we're going to his school's Christmas meal. Everyone has to take a £2 gender-neutral present for a lucky dip.

We need two pressies as we're both going. The only thing I've thought of so far is red pens, as there's always a shortage apparently, but I've already bought my husband some as a stocking filler and don't want to give the game away.

Thanks!
