Secret Santa ideas 2025 🎅

We're after some Christmas inspiration.

Please share any ideas you've had, crafts you've made or deals you've spotted that could make a great Secret Santa gift.

It shouldn't cost much (free up to £5 or so).

Thank you. 🎁

Maybe people are saving their money this year.
Personally, I find secret santa to be a waste of time and money based on the tat I've received over the years.
When I worked we were allowed to state one thing that we definitely didn't want.
I said make-up as I don't wear it.
My secret santa gift was a cheap eye shadow palette in the most garish colours.
I put a lot of thought into the gift I bought.
My gift went to the nearest charity shop as soon as they opened after Christmas.

I had Martin's festive message in mind when I declined to partake in secret santa this year. I knew I'd end up with someone I didn't know well and wouldn't have a clue what to get them and thought I could do without the stress. and £10 back in my pocket safe and sound!
