A really nice pair of socks, a small bottle of champagne, Champneys toiletries, a nice photo frame, a colourful scarf, a pair of gloves, luxury biscuits, bone China cup and saucer, luxury chocolate, quality hand cream, book token. |

The truth is that nobody cares when it comes down to it.
A travel mug would be useless to me and the suggestions I made wouldn't suit everyone either. I think unless you know the person really well you're better off playing it safe. |

Hand cream, lip balm, fuzzy socks, a little toiletries gift set like The Body Shop but £10 might not get you much there. Pricey food (chocolate, coffee, biscuits) - £10 can go a long way in terms of luxury food. |

With one of two notable exceptions I've always received really crap secret Santa gifts. When BHS closed it at least meant no more mini wooden puzzles or hate of marmite chocolate. It's nice to see someone making the effort to ask for ideas. |

Haha. This reminds me of a place I worked at almost 20 years ago. One of my colleagues was called Melanie. Our team leader drew her name out of the hat to buy a secret Santa gift for. He got a leather whip and had it inscribed with "Mel, Mel, you make me swell"
Poor lass was rather embarrassed. |

Yeah that's another secret santa mistake. One place I worked someone thought it hilarious to buy the shy, elderly spinster lady a sexy thong. Secret santa is supposed to be about bringing someone pleasure not an opportunity to humiliate and embarras |

"I received a grow your own bonsai tree kit once. It didnt grow
I can imagine. They take years to master.
Might as well have got you an acorn as a grow your own oak tree!"
Yep.  . To be truthful it had all the signs of being regifted. I put an end to the cycle by disposing of it appropriately  |

I cant do anything 'smelly' candles, reed diffusers etc as it triggers migraines
I was once given a gift card for Costa. I loved it as I could have a treat when out |
