Secret Santa Ideas Under £10 That Do Not Feel Cheap

A £10 Secret Santa budget is tight but not impossible. The best gifts at this price are either useful, funny or something the person will actually do. Here are ideas that do not end up in the back of a drawer.

Something To Do

  • A free or cheap online escape room makes a good stocking filler, especially for puzzle fans. Send the link in a card, or see how gifting works for our premium games.
  • A cinema voucher.
  • A deck of cards with a book of card games.
  • A pocket puzzle or brain teaser.

Something Useful

  • A good reusable coffee cup.
  • A desk plant.
  • Fancy hand cream or lip balm.
  • A phone stand or charging cable that is not the frayed one they keep borrowing.

Something To Eat Or Drink

  • Posh hot chocolate.
  • A small box of good biscuits.
  • A jar of local honey or chutney.
  • A bag of interesting coffee beans.

Something Funny

  • A personalised mug with an in-joke on it.
  • A book of terrible jokes.
  • A desk toy for the person who fidgets in every meeting.

Tips For A Good Secret Santa

  • Ask for a short wish list, even if it is just “likes tea, hates scented candles”.
  • Avoid anything too personal at work.
  • Wrap it well. Good wrapping makes a £10 gift feel like £20.
