Looking for the perfect Secret Santa gift idea for your mate or colleague? We've got you covered. The spending budget for these stocking stuffers is usually around a tenner, so you'd think grabbing a great gift would be super simple. But with everyone being so uniquely different, it's easy to miss the mark on a thoughtful present. If you need some gifting inspiration, have a look at our top picks that are sure to please just about anyone.
Whether you're eyeing a Secret Santa gift or a stocking stuffer, it first helps to know a little bit about the person you're buying for. Are they a beauty-lover? Always on the pulse of the latest fashion trends? Or do they like to spend their weekends keeping fit and practicing some lush self-care? Personalised gifts are always a good way to go, but if you aren't too keen on what your giftee would fancy, why not get something practical with a personalised touch? Maybe a mirror compact with their name engraved or a cute notebook with their initials on the cover? If a personalised gift is not really what you're going for, then consider some gifts that are suited for almost anyone — like a pretty candle, a cute planting pot, a luxe trinket dish, or a smart passport holder.
From our experience, the best gifts are often the ones that make you chuckle a bit. If your pal is the type that always brings the LOLs, then you could give the gift of a gag toy or something from their favourite fandom. We're loving these Oliver Bonas Takeaway Dice (£4) that helps the indecisive eater pick a cuisine for lunch or dinner, and if they love Friends or David Attenborough, then we have some perfectly themed gifts for them too.
