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

Ideas please!

I'm a working mum of 2 and I would love a scented candle they are so relaxing and smell lovely.

weebarra · 21/11/2019 20:57

I am that person!
Back when MN did secret Santa I got a wee box of Charbonnel et Walker salted caramel truffles. Something I would never buy, but lovely.

Beer and/or stationery. 👍

LynetteScavo · 21/11/2019 21:14

A makeup bag for my handbag.

Hand cream

Shower gel (no time for a bath)

Candle

Gin

Cinema voucher

Marmalade

Chocolate - but not Lindt balls.

Basically anything small but very good quality.

A Contigo travel mug, so I could make my coffee at home and just throw the travel mug into my bag with worrying about it leaking and it still be nice and hot to drink hours later Smile

Blindspotfan · 21/11/2019 21:16

*without!

notso · 21/11/2019 21:28

A tub of rum soaked chocolate sultanas or the amaretto ones.
A bar or two of Nesti Dante soap
A book token
A coffee voucher

Well, what is she into? If she like working out then chocolate won’t be appreciate or wine is she doesn’t drink it.

Passthecake30 · 22/11/2019 06:55

Gloves, chocolate, wine, Costa voucher.

Is your office cold? I got a plain dark blanket once from my secret Santa and it lives in my drawer, it was the most appropriate gift I've received so far

Whoops75 · 22/11/2019 06:56

Travel mug

Honeybee85 · 22/11/2019 06:59

Lovely scented candle
Handcream
Sheetmask
Bathoil
Chocolate
Tea
Wine
One of those lovely packed Italian soaps from TK Maxx

Topbird29 · 22/11/2019 07:59

Something just for her. Chocs (although nothing too whacky like chilli or ginger unless know she like it). A mini bottle of prosecco?

thunderandsunshine01 · 22/11/2019 08:06

If this was from the offie secret Santa honestly I’d be a bit gutted if I got chocs, I’d think lack of creativity... I prefer receiving joke type presets for SS if the budget is that low, something that would make me smile.

Proseccoinamug · 22/11/2019 08:11

A bath bomb

reluctantbrit · 22/11/2019 09:24

No candles and stick with brands you know she uses. I hate most handcreams so I juse body butter instead for example.

A voucher for a shop near work how doesn't cater for children at all. But make sure she can get something decent for that amount.

Champagne truffles

Loopytiles · 22/11/2019 10:00

Contigo travel mugs are fab but the non leak ones cost £20+

Loopytiles · 22/11/2019 10:01

Hate joke type presents!

PhantomErik · 22/11/2019 10:07

I hate scented candles & don't eat chocolate. Also don't drink wine or any alcohol really.

On that sort of budget I'd like warm socks, book tokens, hand cream, keyring torch (that might just be me!) boiled sweets or nice fruit teas.

CIT80 · 22/11/2019 10:51

I always loved nice fluffy pyjamas for a secret Santa gift. Primark have some lovely ones in your price range

Exp1etiveDeLighted · 22/11/2019 10:52

I hate joke type presents too and don't really drink alcohol. Most people who would use them already have travel mugs and its not something you need more than one of. You must have some idea of what she likes?

Angelinthenightx · 22/11/2019 13:56

For me would be a make up item or snow fairy shower gel at lush or even a nice mug.

MarshaBradyo · 22/11/2019 13:57

Really nice chocolates top ones

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 22/11/2019 18:15

One of those chilly type drinks bottles think wilko do a good copy for £5

A Costa gift card

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 22/11/2019 18:50

Nice lip balm and decent hand cream...

Failing that, Hugh Jackman 😁

Villagegreenpreservation · 22/11/2019 18:56

Wilko bottle would be welcomed here as would mini box nice chocs or Lush bubble bar/ soap
