Secret santa opinion/ideas?

5 replies

Hi all looking thoughts/alternative ideas on this. I need to buy a secret santa gift for a female colleague £20 budget. I know there's a restaurant in town she goes to often and it's her favourite place to eat at so I'm tempted to get a £20 voucher for there- logic being I know she'll definitely use it. But then I'm wondering if that's going to look like a lazy gift and if I'd be better getting her something different. Other thought in my head is making her up a night in pamper hamper because she's forever looking after everyone else and deserves a bit of a pamper.

Any opinions or other ideas?

I would 100% prefer to receive something I’ll definitely use than something that I might not! If you know she’s into pampering then the hamper could work but it would be useless for someone like me

The voucher is practical and shows that you have listened to her when she is talking which will make her feel appreciated.

Or a voucher for a place where she could buy pampering things - my friend loves masks (foot, face, neck) but i dont and i returned everything and bought myself a lip plumper instead. I value a voucher over things.

Interested in this thread?

you cannot always be sure with pamper products what she likes or maybe even be allergic to. i am allergic to a lot and 9/10 cant use what is given. i think a voucher for restaurant much better

This is also my thinking, my skin can be temperamental so I rarely try new things on it and probably would end up giving anything from a pamper hamper to my niece.
