Right, I have a £10 budget to buy a 'Secret Santa' gift ...come and tell me what YOU would like as a gift

[Plonker]

I am part of Secret Santa at work and we have a £10 budget. The person that I have drawn means a great deal to me and I'd like to find her the 'perfect' gift ...but what?

What would be your perfect gift off Secret Santa?

Chocolate and wine

Pair of fluffy slippers - primark, peacocks, next cheapy ones - with a bar of chocolate in one, and mini bottle of wine in the other.

Thanks deep

That was my first thought too, but strangely she doesn't drink!

I don't want to get chocolates because her children will eat them and I want her to have the gift, iykwim.

I thought comfy slippers too, but then wondered if it's just me that would like them. Cheers SirBoob - glad it's not just me.

Slippers now definitely on the list

Get some of those slippers that are like boots- very snuggly now it is cold. I would want an Amazon voucher but is that a bit of a cop out?

Can you tell us a bit more about her?

Please?

She's in her 40's.

3 children, one grown up and two younger.

She works in a very demanding environment (don't want to give too much away)

She doesn't drink.

She's wonderful and I love her to pieces

A nice relaxing canlde?

Luxury hand cream?

Lovely photo frame for pictures of the DC?

Book voucher

Starbucks/Nero gift card

itunes voucher if she has istuff

little pamper set? a lush bath bomb, little chocolates, candle and a magazine. you should be able to get all that for £10

I would like a nice notebook.

Or a scarf - not wintery one, a french style scarf.

A retro handbag mirror (for the tube

Lux olive oil.

Does she use a tube/bus pass? You can get very pretty ones in Paperchase.

I second book suggestion (if you know her taste), otherwise a voucher.

A planted festive pot of flowers for the garden (or house if she has space), Los of stalls have lovely ones around here or M and S or garden centre would have plenty of choice.

I would also print a little note to go in a card (so it remains anonymous) saying just how much she is appreciated by everyone. I be that would mean more than any gift.

I had to do a £10 secret santa for a woman yesterday (my NCT group) and I chose some really cute gloves from monsoon. The fingerless ones. She loved them. And I got in return a very nice rose scented candle.

Thanks all

Lots to consider there

I always like getting books or DVDs.

I also like stringcheese's fingerless glove suggestion. Not one I would have thought of myself, and very practical!

I personally hate the whole bath oil/ lotion/scented candle axis.

I would like a lush set and a dime bar.

i would love a yankee candle or some lovely nail varnish (barry M on 3 for2 at superdrug) or lush

I would like a nice scarf wrapped in tissue paper in a nice gift box. Tie rack have some lovely ones but some of my best loved ones are from primark and other cheap shops.

A nice oyster card holder from Cath Kidson or some such.
Or, a really nice lipgloss (Clarins or similar)

That's what I would like

a yankee candle, that's what I would like. Clean cotton or a Christmassy one.

oOo yeah posh lipgloss or nail polish. Might be hard on a tenner though

Big box of nice chocolates, not kids' stuff. It is perfectly possible to hide these things from small children

I would like the Great British bake off cook book (half price in Waterstones!)
