Secret Santa for a fiver!

Office secret santa and I need to buy for a lovely female colleague. She's in her 30s, dresses smart casual for work, married no kids and does a lot of diy ( by necessity rather than choice I think).
I'm certain she's not teetotal so could fall back on a bottle of wine.
All suggestions gratefully received, as I'm rubbish at this sort of thing.

Wilko do some mini toolkits for around the £5 mark if she's into DIY - I like DIY and find you can never really have too many tools, as having lots of different sizes is always useful.

A small box of really lovely chocolates
Sterling silver earrings (if she has pierce ears)
Waitrose do a £5 medium sized bottle of Prosecco, which is excellent
Cheese, chutney and some nice crackers
Mini Aveda Hand Relief
A book

One of the Scandinavian lifestyle books would be a nice little present. I bought someone a Hygge book last year and it was really well received. Lagom is this year's Hygge and there are lots of books around a fiver. Lagom: The Swedish Art of Balanced Living or Lagom: The Swedish Secret of Living Well

Or Lykke, which is Danish for happiness, and follows on from Hygge. The Little Book of Lykke: The Danish Search for the World's Happiest People

Thank you all excellent suggestions. I shall a little bit digging and work out what may suit. She's very committed to 'paying back' so the Danish book sounds interesting, and is relevant to work role.

You lot are so nice with your secret Santa presents. Last year I got a potato peeler.

😂 we take it as a challenge to buy the worst gift possible for secret Santa with everyone promising not to take any offence!

Also I always forget about Wilko because both of our local ones are a little off the main shopping areas, I must remember to pop in and see what's on offer especially for DH who loves an addition to his diy collection, and of course toiletries for my adult DCs stockings.

Crisscrosscranky that sounds like a brilliant idea! Poundland challenge anyone?
