Holiday Gift Guide for Secret Santa

The holidays are a time of great joy and happiness, and most of all gift-giving. With so many gifts to give, and so many people to give them to, who has time to find that perfect holiday gift for their Secret Santa at work? How many of us have spent countless hours searching for that one gift that will be good enough not to embarrass the giver, but not so good that it will embarrass the recipient? If my own experience counts for anything, my guess is: a lot. Which is why I have taken the time to record some of my favorite holiday gift ideas for that hard-to-find gift for your Secret Santa.

Before I begin the list, I am going to discuss, in part, the process of its organization. This organization will be as follows:

I began by choosing five separate categories in which Secret Santa gifts may be grouped. These categories are as follows:

  *   Practical Jokes 

*   Known Hobbies 

*   The General Holiday Gift 

*   The Useful Holiday Gift 

*   The Unique Holiday Gift

I then selected five of my favorite holiday gift ideas and listed them below their heading. Along with most of the gift items, I have included a short description or explanation to aid in the decision-making process. All of the items listed have approximate dollar amounts attached, which I have made sure to keep under the “inexpensive gift” heading. Finally, I have included useful websites to ensure that you are able to find the items listed.

I hope you find this list to be of great value in your search for that perfect holiday gift for your Secret Santa. 

Practical Joke – A few words of caution here: be sure you know whom you’re giving this one to.

Package of nothing – Wrap an empty box or order a package from www.totally-funky.co.uk ($0-$5)

Wrap up a vegetable – Tell them you ran low on cash ($1)
