Whether its a family tradition or an office must, this guide has all of the present ideas you need
It’s that time of year again. You’re debating which festive film to put on and are searching for the best Christmas gifts – be that for teenagers, beauty buffs, your mum, your dad or indeed your grandma. If you’re on a panicked hunt for Secret Santa gifts, you’ve come to the right place.
In theory, the concept is a wonderful one – gifting something cheap and cheerful – but, in reality, it’s notoriously difficult to find something that fits the bill.
Thankfully for you, we’ve recruited the IndyBest team and asked them to put their heads together to come up with a list of tried-and-tested products for every kind of friend, family member or colleague. And, of course, the items selected all come in at less than £20.
You can rest assured there’s no tat here. Taking the guesswork out of Secret Santa shopping, you’ll find nothing but well-thought-out favourites and things our team has loved using and having over the past year.
From candlesticks and house plants to board games and books, read on for all the best Secret Santa gifts for less than £20. Happy Christmas shopping!
To produce this long list, we asked the entire IndyBest team to come up with a number of their favourite things that would make great gifts. Whether that’s a book they’ve enjoyed or a plant they love having on their desk, it’s here you’ll find the lot. Of course, our main priority was ensuring we selected gifts your recipient would want and use. Thank us later.
It’s difficult finding a Secret Santa gift that your recipient will actually want to keep but we hope this review will provide ample inspiration. Whether they’re already keen plant parents or could do with some greenery to brighten up their desk, turn to Patch Plants’s Robin the rubber plant. It’s easy to care for and will be pride of place in their home. Bookworms will appreciate getting stuck into The Bee Sting by Paul Murray. But everything on this list will be gratefully received.
