£5 secret Santa for female colleague I don't know well.

[tearoomtrash]

She's in her 40's, fashionable, senior role. What on earth can I get her for £5?!!

Can anyone help me find some inspiration?

I'm in the same boat ! I'm buying a candle. Lots of nice ones out there.

Hand cream.
Naice notepad.
Posh mug.

That's a nice idea! Thank you

Oh I'm in the same boat too. Except she's early 30s has allergies so no bath stuff or cosmetics and I heard her say she hopes she doesn't get wine or chocolates! She's into psychology but I know nothing about it!

A candle sounds nice. I was thinking of homemade cookies or brownies but thought she might then feel obligated to share so not a great gift.

£5 Starbucks voucher, or other naice coffee place near your work.

Slipper socks, nail varnish, wine, nice pen?

If she's 40s fashionable & in a senior role don't buy her a candle which costs under £5. A gift voucher for a coffee shop seems a much better idea to me, she'll use it herself.

It's secret Santa. I'm not overthinking this, EastPoint!

What about a poinsettia or other Christmassy plant?

Nice moisturiser (lots of half price deals on these at the moment at Tesco)
....just don't get one designed to reduce signs of aging!!!!!

Nice mug is a brilliant idea.

The spicery are selling secret Santa packs for £5. I would love to receive one of these! www.thespicery.com

Spend £5 in a charity shop - you'll get a scarf or belt (or both) which is, ta da!, automatically VINTAGE - perfect for fashionable person. And if she doesn't like it at least the charity have benefited rather than a coffee shop or candle shop.

If she is senior she probably gets her coffee on expenses anyway ;)

I've got a basket of bulbs from aldi for DH secret Santa. It'll be lovely ina few weeks and last nicely but not be the sort of thing that makes clutter long term ( and TBH if she wants to re gift it to her gran or what ever that doesn't bother me in the slightest!)

Some naice stationary? Moleskin notebook etc?
