Secret Santa gift for new male colleague!

[Aquiver]

Hi all - would be very grateful please for some suggestions / inspirations for a new male colleague of mine, who is my Secret Santa recipient this year.

I don’t know him very well (having only worked with him for a couple of months) but here are some facts:

• Late 30s / early 40s
• Quite sporty - enjoys swimming and running
• Loves eating(!) and is constantly nibbling on something and welcomes leftovers from others (has a fabulous metabolism)
• Environmentally friendly - keen to encourage recycling etc eg brings his own mug to work rather than use paper cups.

Please help as I’m stuck!

What’s the budget?

He sounds quite easy!

Socks - either jokey ones or for sport.
Mug with his name on it or something personalised.
Boots usually have good foodie kits

[Aquiver]

Sorry! Ought to have said - £10 budget

[RebornSlippy]

A mug and chocolate sounds about right from your description.

A nice travel mug with posh coffee / tea / biscuits?

[AllBuggiedOut]

Some running socks? Feetures are really good...

[singadream]

Yeah def something foodie.

[BikeRunSki]

Initial mug

Someone bought these for dp last year, they were about a tenner on offer during the year, sure you can get them at lots of places.
I'm not a fan of pork scratchings but they were quite nice!

How about some chocolate and an environmentally friendly toothbrush?

[whimsical1975]

Bottle of red wine

[Aquiver]

Lovely suggestions - thanks all. I think foodie is a good way to go, and the initial or coffee mug sounds fab!

Voucher for Pret / Itsu / local sandwich place?

[DameFanny]

Nick Knowles cd, can't go wrong

[SimplyNigella]

A Graze voucher for a few boxes to be delivered to work?

Dp got gifted some of the pork scratching suggested upthread. I ate them . Delicious 😋
Have a look at not on the high street, some really quirky food gifts on there.
Boots do things like extra hot sauces in the 3 for 2 selection. Same goes for meat rubs/marinades. Did also see one for cureing your own bacon
Running/swimming stuff may be hard to get something for under £10 unless you go for a tshirt/mug etc with some sort of slogan on. Not sure if buying someone a speedo would be inappropriate

What about a wallet ninja - from
Amazon and a hotel chocolate small bag

[Aquiver]

The Graze suggestion has really piqued my interest - had no idea you could buy vouchers for a number of boxes to be delivered! x
