Secret santa gift suggestions

7 replies

Got a person in a secret santa whom I would normally buy for the couple rather than individually and need some ideas.

Corporate type chap, mid 30's, married with a child and one on the way. Likes red wine, cheese, coffee. Don't think he reads/watches much TV and doesn't game or anything like that.

A bit stuck. Any genius ideas please?

Its easy to over think a secret santa. Something random and fun should tick all the boxes.

(Dont know your budget)

  1. Corporate type = Comedy tie/ cuffliks from amazon?
  2. If he has a sense of humour how about a really fun christmas t-shirt or jumper for a genius idea?

The more fun the better!

Hmm I disagree - if they're doing Secret Santa for a laugh then yeah, but not if it's being done as a way of streamlining "proper present" buying.

A comedy tie is most likely just a waste of the plastic it's made from.

If you know he likes red wine and cheese, I think the first poster is spot on - nice wine, a cheese board/cheese knives or something along those lines.

My go to is always mini-bottles of whiskey/gin/rum. I buy as good a quality as budget allows.

Cheese board or slate
Cheese knives
Fancy cheese

Nice bottle of wine
If they like red wine do they enjoy port?
Coffee thermos cup that combines a coffee press in it. Terrible description but like this www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0042RU4XU/ref=asc_df_B0042RU4XU56984723/?hvlocphy=9045585&linkCode=df0&hvptwo&psc=1&hvnetw=g&hvadid=255739290604&creative=22110&hvpone&hvlocint&creativeASIN=B0042RU4XU&th=1&hvpos=1o1&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl&hvqmt&tag=mumsnetforum-21&hvtargid=pla-423332413577&hvrand=3526595833675058309
