Christmas can be a little overwhelming if you are not well prepared. Between buying gifts for friends and family, and preparing for Christmas dinners, you suddenly remember you have to buy a gift for your colleague. “Secret Santa” is a common thing in a lot of offices and buying the right gift for your colleagues can be quite scary especially if you don’t know them that well or worse if your giftee is your boss.

This article can help you select gifts for your colleagues within your budget. Keep on reading for our Secret Santa gift ideas.

Gift Hampers- The Safe Option

Personalised gifts are always a good choice but if you don’t know the person you are buying a gift for, personalisation can be a bit difficult.

Food and Wine Hamper

There are many hampers you can find online. The good thing about hampers is that they are always full of multiple items and are available in different price ranges. Food and wine hampers are perfect for a Secret Santa gift.

Bath and Body Hamper

These hampers usually contain a combination of some amazing bath bombs, body washes, oils, scented candles and anything else you would need to calm your nerves. It is a good option to gift to your male and female colleagues who always have too much work on their hands.

DIY Hamper

While you can easily buy ready-made hampers online, you can easily make a Christmas gift on your own. If you want to treat your giftee to all the things they like, just buy the different components and put them together as part of one big gift. While this may not be the most cost-efficient option, it certainly is very personal.

Who doesn’t love a personalised work desk?

If you have the kind of job that requires you to sit at a desk all day long, then it’s only fair to buy your colleague something for their desk. A personalised desk is not just a representation of one’s personality but can also create a comfortable environment for the person working on the desk. So, when it comes to Secret Santa gift ideas for your colleagues, it is always safe to gift them something for their office desk.

Pots and planters

If your colleague is a plant lover, then a small plant such as a succulent would be the perfect Christmas gift. MyDeal has a wide range of pots and planters that sit perfectly on an office desk. Add a touch of green to your colleague’s desk this Christmas and gift them potted plants that are compact yet pleasing to the eye.

Tip: You can also buy artificial plants for someone who is not confident about their plant-caring skills. Artificial plants will brighten up the desk without the effort of watering them regularly.

Accessories and stationery

Desk accessories can include a lot of things but some of the most useful ones include mouse pads, laptop stands, monitor stands, organisers and more. Gift your colleague a set of luxury pens or a pen stand. There are a lot of desk accessories available out there that can make desk life so much easier.

How about gifting your colleague a monitor stand that has all the features one needs? Nowadays you can get desk stands that come with in-built charging ports and USB ports. Most importantly, you won’t be spending an exorbitant amount on this gift but if you’re up for spending a little more money, this is an excellent Secret Santa gift.

Figurines and Collectibles

Not everything has to be work-related. Secret Santa gifts can vary from something impersonal to something very personal. Figures, collectables, bobbleheads, etc. can be gifted to someone who would enjoy such a gift. You can find a wide range of collectable figurines on MyDeal to gift to your colleague.

Everybody Loves Tech & Gadgets

Technology plays a huge role in our lives today so why not gift it to someone? There are many options to choose from when it comes to technology but a good pair of in-ear headphones or a Bluetooth speaker will always be appreciated. From Apple to Seinheiser, there is a whole range of speakers and headphones that you choose from.

In-ear headphones are a great gift, especially for someone who likes to listen to music while concentrating on work. If your Secret Santa giftee likes to have its classical music playing while working on annual reports, in-ear headphones would be the perfect gift for them. They are easy to use, come in their own case and the sound quality is usually excellent.

Smartwatches are a popular choice among Christmas gifts as well. They are very useful especially if you don’t carry your phone with you everywhere. Along with the functions of a normal watch, smartwatches can keep track of your health, calls, messages, reminders and almost everything else that your smartphone can do.

Books

Books are a great gift to give to anyone. A good book is memorable and a great way to relax and learn about something new. If your Secret Santa giftee is a book lover, there is no better gift than a good book. Whether they are into fiction, non-fiction, biographies or cookbooks, you can find a great collection of books on MyDeal.

Sets and Kits

Sets and kits are slightly different from hampers. They usually include products of the same brand within one item. This is a great gift for a colleague especially if you are not well acquainted with them.

Perfume sets usually contain 2-3 fragrances or samples within. Instead of buying different perfumes for a person, you can just buy a set. Sometimes you also get sets that come with different fragrances, hence making it the perfect gift for someone who likes variety.

There are several types of kits you can gift to your colleague. If they are into cocktails, you can choose a cocktail kit to gift to them. These usually include a shaker, mixing spoons, measuring cups, strainers and more. Tool kits, food kits and even architectural model kits are great gifts you can find online.

Home & Garden

You have tons of options for your Secret Santa gifts. Homeware is a great gift and is always appreciated. You don’t have to buy a gift that is too expensive or too big. There are things you can buy that will fit your budget and also make your giftee happy.

Glasses

Wine glasses, martini glasses and crystal glasses are crowd-pleasers. A beautiful set of glasses adds a touch of class to one’s home bar. It’s also handy to have a set of martini glasses around if you’re making cocktails for a family dinner.

Wall art

Wall art, paintings and picture frames also serve as great gifts for Christmas. Wall art pieces can be intricate or simple and they immediately brighten up the walls. The best part about wall art is that can be displayed in one’s home or office.
