If you’re a busy working mum of 3, what secret Santa gift would you appreciate?

[hobbler]

I’m not actually sure what the budget is, I’m guessing £5-10.

Ideas please!

Chocolates and wine

Nice chocolates, even if that means a tiny box of chocs.

Bubble bath.

I am the person described!

If it was someone who knows me well enough, taking my kids out for an afternoon so I can be home alone and take a shit in peace.

Nothing which will require effort on her part. I would go for chocolates or wine as PP has said.

Or alcoholic chocolates so she justifiably can't share them with the kids :-)

A Terry's chocolate orange and a nice bottle of red wine. Although that might be difficult with £10?

A Molton brown bauble (if you know she has a bath)

Chocolate.

The best I've seen was 10 bars of Lindt chocolate. Person just kept them in their desk and had yummy chocolate every so often.

Chocolate for me too.

A nice scented candle...

Something nice - hand cream, red wine, a book. I'm always bottom of the priority list at home and would never treat myself to these things.

Wine

Nice hand cream
Scented candle

Exactly what @CointreauVersial said. TKMax is great for good quality scented candles. I’ve got a couple of lovely ones by a company called Lab x Hygge

I am your target person.

Nice chocolate(s).
Decent wine.
Pair of nice, warm fluffy socks if you cen get them for that price (I WFH and often have cold feet)
Voucher for a local (independent or nice chain) coffee shop.
Perhaps some nice lip balm or a small tube of good hand cream that could go in my bag.
A book (but only if you were sure of my tastes).

Not into scented candles.

I would hate a scented candle. When can you use it with three kids running round? What about a book token. I'd love that. Or chocolate. Or try to find something about them. I got my secret Santa who is always cold a nice cheap throw she keeps in her desk for winter. She always looks so snug now.

A half bottle of champagne. Just the right size for one person! 🤪

I don't appreciate scented candles either, use them sometimes in the run up to Christmas but that's all, I have just charity shopped various ones I was given last year. Book tokens are always appreciated though.

I like @CatteStreet’s list. I am very fussy about the hand cream / bath oil etc that I use and would honestly not use cheaper versions. Ditto scented candles. I just don’t like the chemical
smell of the cheaper ones. They would go straight into a charity bag. Not sure you can go wrong with chocolate!

I would love chocolate, wine or a Costa voucher.

If you know what she drinks or eats, some of that!

Book voucher.

No toiletries or scented candles.

Big box of Lindt truffles.

Are all busy mums into the same stuff, then?

I got my colleague a Molton Brown bauble last year and she loved it.
I always buy what I'd like (and never get 😁) and I am a busy working mum of three....
Merino wool bed socks
Any warm slipper socks
Small bottle festive gin or similar
Body butter
Nice lip balm
Posh chocs from a local chocolatier

£5-10 is so hard to buy anything that's half decent. We set the same budget but I always end up going over a bit.

Fluffy socks or a bauble. Or wine!

Really nice socks would work for me.

I'd hate a candle.

A voucher for something that can’t be used to buy something for the kids!

definitely not fluffy sox but a nice pair of luxury tights are always appreciated
