Secret Santa over 5 days

4 replies

I have just moved to a different location for work and my new office apparently does secret santa over 5 days. The idea is that you get a gift every day of the week and then on the last day you find out who has bought for you.
Apparently there is no minimum/maximum limit but people tend to spend around £10 in total over the 5 days.
An example given to me was someone got bought a small candle/wax melt for the first 4 days then a beautiful burner on the 5th day.
It doesn’t have to be something that is a gift split into 5 like the above example, you could buy a pair of socks for day one, chocs for day 2 etc, but I really like the idea of having something that over 5 days would make 1 gift if that makes sense but I just can’t think of anything like this and I really want to participate.
Can anyone help me please?
I don’t know yet if I’m buying for a male or female.

I’d love to receive different teas and then a tea pot at the end. Or some fluffy socks, then a hat and gloves.

I love this idea except for the fact it's for the office. But that aside, what about deconstructing things?

Like a hot chocolate set. Day 1 is a mug, day 2, cream, day 3 marshmallows, day 4 novelty spoon/biscuits/candy canes, day 5 the hot chocolate powder.

Or office themed items (post it's, pens, staples, paperclips, even better if they're all stolen from work) culminating in a diary for 2025?

Could be an ornament idea: you get them a Santa figurine, then a snowflake ornament, then a snowman ornament etc, and the last one is led string lights.
Stationery would be a good theme as well: a crystal pen, a set of markers, stickers, and you finish with a diary or a desk calendar. If you know at least anything about this person, you can make a personalized calendar even with pictures of their favorite team or artist.
