Secret Santa

Personally I loathe Secret Santa because I never know what to buy, get embarrassed opening something I may not like in front of others and have enough stuff in my life - my ideal is we all chuck in £10, name picked out of a hat and winner picks the charity. Did this with a couple of groups last year.

However, seems I'm the bah humbug one. With one small group of friends I absolutely get why one friend in particular loves it. She's on her own and all three children are living abroad.

Our limit is £10 (ish). Can't be chocolates or biscuits. We're all 60 ish and used to buying nice things if we want them. I'm trusting you festive lot to find me the holy grail - something luxurious but cheap... Friend loves beauty/skincare but uses brands that are out of the £10 limit.

Thanks in anticipation!

@TheSquareMile those are lovely thank you - just ordered some but not sure who for yet!

I also got some lovely stuff from Crisis at Christmas today.

Sorted my Secret Santa now thank you - little spa type goody bag from Oliver Bonas with a nice candle from White Company (star one from a multipack) thrown in! Never started my Christmas shopping this early before!

And thanks to all because there are some lovely ideas on here for other family members.
