Secret santa unisex

[Oilyskinproblems]

Hello - I’m so rubbish at present buying I always seem to get it wrong. Have managed to get myself roped into a secret Santa but haven’t got a specific person instead a group of us all buy a present and then they get dished our at random. I have no idea what to buy! The limit is £25 and the age range is 30-50 year olds. Any ideas? All suggestions welcome but really don’t want to buy chocolate/toiletries/gift vouchers if I can avoid it.

25 quid?!

I'd buy a John Lewis voucher for 20 and then a gift like a charity calendar with the rest.

I'd love something like this (as a 33 year old female) Whiskey stones gift set

In fairness if it all goes into a group pot luck I'd really not bother carefully selecting something. It's different if you make the effort for a specific colleague. No one will give it much thought beyond £25 buy it! On the plus side you'll probably get a lot of swaps going on.

£25 is a decent amount on a Secret Santa for people you don't really want to gift anyway (you said you were "roped in", hence my assumption)...

So, hmm I think I would keep it simple even if it is generic and go with a voucher or a unisex scarf/gloves set.

What about Bluetooth wireless earbuds? They cost about £20 online. It's a cheap spin on airpods and something practical but nice to have.

Plus with headphones they can easily pass them on as a gift to a relative, or a child as a stocking filler and not feel they've lost out on £25.
