Office Secret Santa Ideas
Avoid tacky sexual gifts as they could be deemed as inappropriate, and could even cause problems with employers. Alcohol is another tricky area as some may not drink due to religious or medical reasons. Try to select a gift that is personal but respectful showing the recipient that there was thought behind the gift selection. If your gift recipient has a certain hobby or interest, base the gift on that. For example, an avid reader will make use of a bookshop gift card.
If you are not very familiar with the colleague, it is safer to opt for a generic desk gift such as: novelty pens, mouse pad, mini punch ball, calendars, metal sculptures, origami sticky notes etc. More random funny gifts include modeling balloon sets, joke stress relievers and Christmas themed rubber duckies.
Secret Santa Gift Ideas for Men
Generally secret Santa gifts are under $20 so it can be tricky to pick up gadgets within this price. Try an inexpensive USB Desk Vacuum for a messy colleague, or inflatable guitar for the office party guy. Men are likely to appreciate a challenge such as a Sudoku cube (a new twist on the classic Rubik's cube)
Amusing items that could be given include novelty printed toilet roll, Christmas socks or a mini joke book. Gamers will adore the retro Nintendo Mini classics with Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros and Cement Factory games now available for around $16.
Women's Secret Santa Gifts
Women who enjoy plants are likely to be pleased with a "Grow your own Sunflower" pack. Personalized gifts are a nice option with anything from notebooks to chocolate bars easily available at most gift stores. Lush Cosmetics stock inexpensive bath and shower gifts that are likely to be popular.
Fans of sparkly things will love USB fairy lights, color changing bath spa lights or personalized snow globe. Useful yet fun gift items for women include glow-in-the-dark gloves or even comic strip plasters.
