Secret Santa...would you like this

Sorry this has probably been done to death. Work secret Santa. £10 budget. I have picked a female, about 45-50 in age. Don't know her that well as she is new to the team. Not sure if/what she drinks etc.
I am hopeless at this. I find it quite stressful. Last year everyone seemed to exchange candles, which is fine, I don't mind a candle and that is probably my back-up plan. But saw this browsing m&s. What are your thoughts? Are initials on things desirable or childish? I wouldn't mind receiving that as my secret Santa, but that's cos its inoffensive and practical (to me). Cons are it can't be easily re-gifted. Thanks!

I'd love that! I've just bought a version of it for £30 for my friend for Christmas.

A lovely box of m and s chocs can be had for £10. It’s a nice makeup bag but it’s more ‘stuff’

See I wouldn't appreciate £10 chocolate, I'm not a huge chocolate fan so £1 and £10 chocolate is equal to me and I also cannot eat milk chocolate due to allergy issues.

I definitely wouldn’t want £10 worth of chocolates. I would think that’s a waste. A candle would be worse!

This thread does confirm that you would be lucky to get a secret Santa present right as everyone has such different tastes.

It's the sort of thing people buy me as gifts, I keep in a drawer for a couple of years and then stick on vinted. (Disclaimer: I don't wear make up on a daily basis)

I'd love it. I'm 40, F.

I'd be stoked

I'd like it! I'd also like a candle though.. I think if people are particularly picky they wouldn't participate in secret santa? I wouldn't appreciate a charity donation in my name though

I'd like it but I'd like a candle too. I'm not fussy.
