In terms of my workplace Secret Santa, our budget every year for the last five years or so has been £1, with the added cavet that no food in allowed.

Some gifts that I have bought/ have received:

• Pack of pens
  
• Travel size toiletries
• Calendar
• A mug
• Lotto ticket/ scratchcard
• Novelty glasses/ other budget XMAS stuff
• Book
• Torch
• Budget toys
• Keyring

Bit late now, but the other year my Husband needed a secret santa gift for his office colleagues. He wasn't given a name or gender. I got him a small bottle of wine from Tesco, a wine glass from the poundshop and an inexpensive pair of socks from ebay with the words, if you can read this, bring me more wine, printed on the bottom. I can't remember the exact amount but it was well under a tenner and was appreciated by the recipient.

Thanks, some great ideas on here.  I bought some florists christmas cellophane one year (ebay) and some red ribbon, and made up some nice mugs with a couple of sachets of hot choc and a little pack of chocs inside.  I love the wine glass, wine and socks idea - something to drink and things to keep and wear as well   I've also bought some choc chip shortbread as a small gift.  I could really do with a small gift for nephew's girlfriend - I'm thinking maybe a facemask, candle etc. (sort of a diy spa).
