Ridiculous £5 secret Santa

I’m new at work and they’re doing a secret Santa. I didn’t want to do it but everyone else was very excited and I wasn’t going to be a big Scrooge and refuse to join in, especially when I’m so new. It’s £5 limit which is ridiculous too and we are telling people after they open the gift who got what (again, not my idea) so I don’t want to buy something shit and then have to confess

i honestly don’t have the time to be going to the shops hunting around so it needs to be something I can buy online.
any ideas?

ive never even met the person I’ve got, it’s a woman in her 20s-30s, no idea if she has dietary restrictions, allergies etc. So I’m worried about just buying food gifts.

Please help me!

The last time I did a secret santa I was actually skint so got a set of small jars from the pound shop, made some chutnies and did a pickled egg.

The recipient was more than pleased (to my surprise) and intrigued by the egg, I'd used a mold so it looked like a fish.
