Ah, Secret Santa. The upside is you get to save your mince pie money by only buying one gift for your office/friend group/motorcycle gang. The downside… picking something fun and affordable can be harder than spotting an elf in a crowded mall. Until now. Why? Because we have a list of 8 amazing Secret Santa gifts!

We’re not going to pull a Father Christmas and make your wait for the good stuff painful. So, here we go:

Top 8 Secret Santa Gifts

1. Tiny Hands

If you need a hand thinking of a handtastic Secret Santa gift, you’ll find Tiny Hands especially (ahem) handy! We’re not saying they’re idle hands, but they don’t exactly do anything. But, that doesn’t stop them from being absolutely hilarious, nigh sc-handalous, when they pop out of a sleeve or two.  

2. 52 Things to Do While You Poo

Word on the street is that Christmas calories don’t count, so it’s license to overdo it on the mince pies, Quality Street, shortbread, and your nephew’s advent calendar choccies. But, all that eating does mean more trips to the old throne room. But, instead of sitting there trying to remember all the gifts in the 12 Days of Christmas, your Secret Santa pick could be reading 52 Things to Do While You Poo!

This book is loaded with facts and puzzles about pooing – 112 pages of it, to be exact. That’s enough to keep anyone occupied as they attempt to get rid of a Christmas cake clog. It may be about number twos, but this’ll be number one on their pile of loo reading material.  

3. Hair Lights

So, it’s Christmas and there are lights in trees, bushes, homes, shops, and jumpers. But, everyone’s hair is left feeling less festive than that grumpy bloke on your street who all the carollers avoid… until now. These Hair Lights will light up the locks of your Secret Santa pick like they’re a town high street. Hair street?

They’re multi-coloured nano LED lights, which means they weigh next to nothing and won’t be pulling your nan’s wig off her head as she tucks into her turkey. The string contains 18 lights and includes attachment clips. 

4. Henry Desk Vacuum

Secret Santa is fantastic for saving money, buying just one present for the whole office. It’s the dream. But, it’s also fantastic for sending passive aggressive hints. Like, say, the office snack fiend who is a few flapjack crumbs away from starting a mouse infestation. They need this Henry Desk Vacuum.

A tiny, yet fully-working vacuum cleaner, this mini Henry sucks harder than a stocking full of maths books and celery sticks. It’s great for cleaning up crumbs, pencil shavings, dandruff, and other sorts of office mess.     

5. Toilet Warning Sign

Once again, those mince pies are fighting back. That co-worker that spends more time filling the toilet bowl than filling out spreadsheets definitely needs a Give It 10 Toilet Warning Sign. Also, if they tend to get embarrassed easily, take particular joy in watching them turn redder than Santa’s coat as they unwrap it in front of everyone. Ah, Christmas, the season of giving… people a hard time about their insecurities.  

6. Newton’s Cradle

Christmas is prime time to give toys as presents. And, yes, desk toys totally count! That’s why this Newton’s Cradle makes a great Secret Santa present.

These chrome balls have been swinging since Saint Nicholas was a slender brunette who just went by Nick. Give or take. Point is, they’re a brilliant desk tradition, and Christmas is all about tradition.

7. Personalised Toblerone

Toblerone is as important to Christmas as super-sweet movies, mountains of mince pies, and trying to remember your neighbours’ names so you can send them pound-shop Christmas cards. So, it makes perfect sense that a Personalised Toblerone would make this list of Secret Santa gift ideas.

You can add any name under 14 characters to the packaging. But, just in case you’re thinking of adding a word that would hurt an innocent elf’s pointy ears to hear, don’t. Toblerone prefer you to keep it cleaner than Santa’s suit before he hits the first chimney of the night.

8. Mensa’s Calendar Challenger

So, you’re going to be Secret Santa to one of those clever people in the office that make you feel intellectually inferior simply by casting a look at your wardrobe choice? No problem. Mensa’s Calendar Challenger!

This page-a-day calendar has a brain-teasing puzzle for every day of the year, and even includes a thinking space that can be used to jot down workings, autograph completed puzzles, or give up and draw stick-men in defeat.
