Secret Santa has become
part and parcel of the festive period with offices, families and close knit
friends all joining in the fun. The budget is usually minimal with a focus on
light hearted, amusing gifts. But what happens when you don’t know what to buy Julie
in HR or your brother’s girlfriend? Be a Secret Santa queen this year by
following our tips and recommendations.
Our Tips:
Avoid playing it too safe
The
simple answer to every gift conundrum is safe choices such as confectionary and
mugs. Resist the urge to buy your Secret Santa food unless it’s something special
like artisan chocolate or luxurious coffee. If you choose a mundane gift the
recipient is unlikely to get excited about it and this will show a distinct lack
of effort on your part.
Use social media to your
advantage
The
great thing about befriending everyone from your cousin to your co-worker on
social platforms is it makes knowing what they like and dislike a lot easier.
If Helen from accounts has tweeted about the latest season of Mad Men, consider
buying her some memorabilia from the show. Similarly, if your cousin publishes
an Instagram snap of her growing nail varnish collection, use it as an
opportunity for a beauty haul.
Be careful with risqué
gifts
Although
it may be tempting to buy your flirty friend a novelty t-shirt detailing her
conquests, she might not find it so amusing. The trouble with risqué gifts is
that there’s not much use for them beyond the initial giving period. Find a
practical gift that also ticks the in-jokes box and everyone will be a winner.
