Secret Santa gift for one who likes white wine and expensive skincare

[AliceRR]

I work as part of a national team and have picked someone who I don’t know well at all as she works in a different office. By chance, another colleague who works in that office was in my office today so I asked what recipient might like.

She said a nice white wine or champagne or “nice smellies” and the examples she used were Jo Malone and Crem de la Mer.

The budget is max £10 (and to be honest I wouldn’t be inclined to go much over bay when I don’t know the person).

Any suggestions?

I thought bottle of wine (but boring) or something small from Milton Brown like wine of their Christmas baubles or something like that...

I'm really careful what I put on my face - TBH I wouldn't appreciate someone buying me a gift of facial skincare, unless it was a specific product I already use. (Difficult, sensitive skin.) Hand cream, however, I'm far less picky - as long as it smells nice I'll use it. Likewise wine - I'll try anything, & be grateful that someone had made the effort.

I choose wine, Cheers!

I’ve actually got a Molto Brown bauble that someone bought me last year which I was tempted to regift simply because I won’t use it but with someone else. I could give her a bottle of wine as suggested pulse the bauble but I think the baubles have changed so she would know it is a regift if she looked at the website. I’m not generally a fan of regifting but if it is in addition to another gift worth a tenner then that’s a good deal as I could give her wine and a bauble?! Or I could just not bother I suppose.

I would be very chuffed to have wine and the bauble.

Thanks I think if is a good gift as often people buy a lot of tat for Secret Santa!

I have bought the Emma Hardie Moringa cleansing balm to go with a present for a friend.
I use it daily so buy the normal sized one but the small one is on sale at the moment for £7.50 on ocado - utter bargain and such a beautiful cleanser for someone who likes fancyish skincare.
