Secret Santa ideas please

Hello

I’m looking for two secret Santa ideas and drawing blanks.

SS1 - A £10 budget for a 68 year old lady. She is quite immobile and not particularly into style or makeup etc. Not really sure what she likes.

SS2 - A £5 budget for a 40 year old lady, who is very artistic and crafty.

Ideas welcome thank you!

I always get a really lovely Xmas tree decoration for my SS, even if the budget is tiny (£5) it'll still be lovely.
Loads of lovely ones out there for all sorts of people.

That’s a lovely idea for SS2! I think she’d appreciate that.

SS1 - doesn’t put up decorations, so possibly still need an idea.

thank you!

Whenever I’m really stuck for a low cost gift idea, I usually get a small plant in a nice pot. It’s always gone down well.

Interested in this thread?

Is she a reader?

My secret Santa is for a lady in her 60s, I’ve got her a William Morris magnetic fridge notepad (it’s so lovely I ordered myself one!) and set of two William Morris pens, got them from Amazon.

Seeds or a pot of herbs.

SS1...Box of Belgian chocolates, most supermarkets offer their own range for around £10, or you could get some Guylian chocolate seashells, or a tin of biscuits.

SS2...A box of Galt giant chalks, or some poster paint tubs, she could have fun playing around with, a pack of Origami paper is another idea.
