Secret Santa - got the boss

[fingersdoublecrossed]

Suggestions, please!

Secret Santa has been drawn at work today, and I've got the boss.

Elegant and sophisticated lady in her 50s, don't know much about her, definitely not a novelty/joke gift, budget £10.

I'm already stressed about it! 🤦‍♀️

I had this one year.... We were really busy so made her a staff cloning kit.

If she drinks alcohol my co-op side has some really nice looking freixenet gift sets with glasses in for £10

Molton Brown bauble

Baileys is £9.99 for a litre in Morrison’s

L'occitane hand cream?

Christmas cheese knife set, I purchased a lovely set at a garden centre last weekend for £10.

Does she drink coffee? Oliver Bonas have a cool collapsible cup. Or a really nice soap, Neom perhaps?

Nice hand cream - L'Occitane, Molten Brown or White Company.

A nice scarf, garden centre has some lovely ones for around £10.

Beautiful notebook

Small box of posh chocs

A gorgeous Christmas tree decoration from somewhere like Liberty or the White Company

I once got the MD when I was in my early 20s, I bought him a paid of red satin undies with bells attached. He absolutely loved them, he hung them in his office, he had no idea it came from me, I was quite shy at work haha

How about a nice pair totes slipper socks. Nice particle and if she dosnt like them a good regifting gift.

Reusable drinking straws in a nice box
Haan hand sanitiser
Hot chocolate melts
Bamboo thermal socks

All charmingly impersonal, if that's what you want to go for.

If a staff member gave me any of these I'd be very happy. The staff cloning kit is a fab idea! Although. Not the red satin undies with bells, maybe =)

Don't get a scarf!! It screams "I couldn't think of anything and all middle women love a scarf so I just got that! 🤷‍♀️"

Ask her PA on the down low?

Completely agree with this. Plus scarves are a very personal thing to buy.

A novel. Makes you look smart even if she never reads it.

A book, a really nice hand cream, a bottle of something - port?

Another vote here for Molton Brown, L'Occitane and White Company. I like Rituals too.

Accessorize have some lovely blanket scarves in their black Friday sale. The Carter checked one is nice. £10.

Not a scarf - unless it's silk which would be out of budget. Normally I'd go for booze but £10 won't buy you anything drinkable.

A nice leather bound notebook might be an option. Or some cashmere socks. Or a fancy tin of biscuits or a plant in a pretty ceramic pot.

I got someone a personalised chocolate orange last year. Then it was cancelled. Managed to smuggle it into her office just before it went out of date in May. Was so tempted just to eat it.

Yes I think a notebook or a nice pen .. what about carolinegardner.com/collections/pen-gift-sets-uk/products/pink-burgundy-boxed-pen-pen112 there are patterned ones at £10 too.

Posh chocolate - Hotel Chocolate selector boxes are great for Secret Santa.

Or a decent bottle of wine.

Really nice tea
