Gifts under £25 & Secret Santa gifts

Choosing Secret Santa gifts

Good presents for a gift swap are small, useful and easy to like, so they work for colleagues and relatives alike. Think about something the person can use up or wear, rather than an ornament. Bouclé, Swole Panda and Habulous make many of the presents here. Every brand in this range was checked for how its products are made and what goes into them.

Gifts under 25 for colleagues

Swole Panda makes bamboo socks in bright patterns and Christmas designs, and Komodo makes reusable coffee cups. Firetree makes single-estate chocolate bars, and Oh Lily Snacks makes popped water lily seed snacks. Clean U Skincare makes ready-made Secret Santa gift bundles. The Mood Club makes mood cards, and Give Yourself Kindness makes affirmation cards for work, which suit a team swap. Pick something light enough to post if your team works remotely, and add a short note so the person knows who it is from.

Gifts under 20 and stocking fillers

For gifts under 20 and stocking fillers, Faith in Nature and Flawless make hand washes, body washes and skincare, Lovewell makes aromatherapy candles, and Wild & Stone makes reusable straws. Playpress Toys makes cardboard playsets for children, and Keep This Cracker makes reusable crackers for the Christmas table. A pair of socks with a small bar of chocolate makes an easy pairing.

Secret Santa gifts for him and for women

Secret Santa gifts for women often lean towards skincare, candles and bamboo socks, while gifts for men lean towards socks, chocolate and drinks. In practice, most of the range here suits anyone, so choose by what the person enjoys. Set a clear budget for your group, and add a gift tag rather than wrapping in foil paper. If your swap is at work, choose something neutral and avoid anything too personal, and keep a spare gift in your drawer in case someone new joins the team. Gifts Under £50 has slightly bigger presents, Christmas & Seasonal has Christmas gifts and decorations, Socks has more bamboo socks, and Vegan presents and gift ideas: 25 where it actually matters has more ideas.
