Whether you love it or loathe it, Secret Santa is a fundamental part of festive fun. While searching for the best Christmas gifts for men or the best beauty gifts for beauty-lovers can be stressful, it can sometimes be even more difficult to find the perfect present when there is a price limit that comes with it.
Whether you have joined a group of co-workers, made a pact with your friends for party season, or agreed on Secret Santa gifts for family this year, finding the best Christmas present for your lucky recipient can add to the pressure. Especially when you have to keep it secret from the person and there is a £20 price limit.
You can of course get creative with your gift-giving skills and make something special for your chosen person. Or perhaps you could donate the designated amount to a charity instead (our POPSUGAR Content Director once wrapped up a Big Issue and donated £20 to the homeless seller.)
But if getting creative isn't your strong suit, we have 21 Secret Santa Gift ideas for everyone. From foodie gifts to laugh-out-loud ideas, we've done all the searching for you. Read ahead for Secret Santa gift ideas, all under £20.
