Today I thought I would write a guide of possible gift ideas when you're taking part in Secret Santa...I know from experience Secret Santa can actually be quite hard, especially if you're on a budget! I'm going to find products for males and females under £10 - so if you're seriously struggling or just curious - carry on reading!
FEMALE UNDER £10
So, for the first gift, I picked a Starbucks Espresso Duo, because they look so glamorous! Even if you're not a coffee lover, you could use them for a small hot chocolate, or tea - you could even just drink water out of them! I just think they're so lovely and because they're stack-able they'll just look so lovely next to the kettle or something.
I personally believe that a Yankee Candle is such a good Christmas present. I actually own this scent and its so sweet...but also it smells like your Mom has just baked in the kitchen (which obviously is what its meant to smell like) but I just think for £6, you can't really go wrong. & they burn for so long that its just a good 'investment'.
I think this product works for adults, teens and even young teens, especially if you've not even tried Soap and Glory before because this is a nice little starter kit - it has everything you need for the perfect shower. I just think 4 shower products for £10 that I would consider very high quality is just perfect - also, Soap and Glory do different scents, so then you can tailor it to the person you're buying for!
So, I thought this would be a good idea if your Secret Santa was a student, or somebody whom you worked with - as its an A4 notebook and obviously its good for notes, lists - anything like that really. I just think they're a good idea because they're easy for someone to just slip in their bag and set off! Also, it could be really cute because you could write "To...from Your Secret Santa" inside and it would just be a constant, sweet, reminder.
I thought this was so lovely when I scrolled past it on Urban Outfitters. I think there is something so special about a personalised present - so printing off your favourite photo and giving it to your mom, sister, best friend, girlfriend, grandma, a colleague - anyone! Would be so lovely and it would also make a brilliant bedroom/living area/bathroom decorative! or if you don't have any photos together, you could print out a quote the receiver may like and it will be just as special.
MALE UNDER £10
I, personally think, that men are the worst people to buy for - they give you no indication at all of what they want! and the most annoying things EVER is when they buy themselves items in December! Though...I think these are a good idea - even for females because they're cheap, they're easy and they keep you warm in the festive season. I know they're not exactly a "gift" as such, more a practical item, but for a Secret Santa...I suppose depending on the person, it could be a good present.
When browsing the internet - I saw these keyring's and my initial thought was "my dad would love one of those" and I decided to put it straight into my Secret Santa guide! I just think its a lovely thing for someone to have on their keys - and I always think that a personalised gift is best - because it's something so meaningful. You could have full names, "Dad's Keys" or "Car Keys" anything! If the person you're buying it for could have a name for their car and therefore you could name it after the car - anything you wanted.
Again, men are so hard to buy for and I feel as if I'm just picking stereotypical presents for men, but I genuinely believe they are extremely hard to buy for! So, I saw this wallet on ASOS and I just thought it was really nice, I know my boyfriend would love this if I had bought it for him!
We all know that men are HUGE children - so these would be really good! I know my older brother would love these because he would just tease his own children with them and I know my Dad would play with my younger brother with them...I just think there small and fun and they can even be enjoyed with females - just a bit of fun on Christmas day!
Finally, I think this is a great one! Depending on the actual content of the book it may be suitable for any age. Again, I know my brother, boyfriend and possibly my Dad would like this book - and this may sound very strange but it'll be a good book to sit in the bathroom. Just whilst they're doing their business to keep them preoccupied! I dont know, I think it would be good, as well as funny!
That's all for now! I found it so hard to find mens products that I actually think they'd enjoy! They're so awkward! I hope you enjoyed this little post and I can only hope it helped a few of you! Thanks for reading - it means a lot!
