Secret Santa Gift Ideas

If you are reading this, then you either have a group of friends or some great co-workers who have decided to play a game of secret Santa.

Secret Santa is a game where a group of people are involved in a gift-giving group at Christmas. It is great because it eliminates the need to buy something for everyone and it takes the stress out of searching and looking for the right gift for each person.

You only have to find a perfect gift for just one person, your secret Santa, and we are here to help with that!

Secret Santa Gift Ideas

There is always a certain amount of stress though when you draw the name of someone you don't know particularly well, or just don't know what they would like to receive as a gift. We are here to help with that, and make you the best secret Santa out there.

This secret Santa gift guide is going to list some fan favorites that aren't too personal, so they will work for almost anyone. Basically, they will win the game every time!

And each item we list falls somewhere around the $20 mark unless it is on sale. Click to check each item. Happy shopping, Santa!

 

1. A FELT LETTERBOARD FOR YOUR SECRET SANTA

Check it out here

I love the felt letterboard trend. This gift makes a really great secret Santa gift idea because it is good for really anybody across the board. Men, women, office co-worker, someone close to you.

This felt letterboard is a great gift idea, and it is a super affordable gift option.

2. A LIGHT UP LETTERBOARD SECRET SANTA GIFT

Check price here

For a cinematic feel, this light up letterboard is a fun, popular gift that anyone will be sure to enjoy. I always think that this would make a great gift for someone with a good sense of humor, especially around the office.

I like this one because you have the option of powering it with AA batteries, or it can plug right into a power source through a 1.5m long USB cable.

This one also does not have to be mounted on a wall if the gift receiver does not want that; it can stand freely on a desk or surface. A perfect secret Santa gift idea!

3. A BOOK LOVERS CANDLE

See it here

This is a gift that I think is just so great. I mentioned this one in the gift guide I wrote, Gift Ideas For Book Lovers That AREN'T Books, and I just think it is such a unique, amazing gift. Who doesn't love the smell of old books?

Sounds like an odd question, but it's true! If that person receiving your gift if a book lover, this is the gift for them.

Great for the home, great for the office or workplace, we love essential oil diffusers. The essential oil diffuser we found comes in a wood grain which is a big crowd pleaser. It holds 150mL of water and is ultrasonic.

6. SECRET SANTA SOCKS WITH A SECRET MESSAGE

See options here

Two things that are so popular right now: printed socks and the ever-popular, drinking wine lol. Pair these two together perfectly in the form of footwear with a secret message! These are the 'bring me wine' socks from Amazon.

When the wearer has their feet up at the end of the day, they can expect someone to bring them a glass of wine if they get the message!

These socks are great because they can be for men or women. I already love the sock monkey gray and white with red trim, and putting that pattern on socks is so cute. If you can read this, grab them a pair of these socks from Amazon!

If your gift receiver is into something other than wine, check out the other socks with messages (bring me coffee, bring me a cold beer... even bring me bacon!!!) right here.

10. A WATERCOLOR NOTEBOOK GIFT IDEA

This gorgeous notebook has been mentioned by me before in other articles. I just think it is so lovely and would make such a nice gift for that organized person who loves to keep track of their thoughts, makes lists and writes down goals and dreams, or for the artsy individual.

This notebook is a great price for a secret Santa gift. It is a hardcover book with beautifully painted pages to write in.
