The dreaded Secret Santa - £10 limit!

[BeenChangedForGood]

Very small team - only 4 of us and everyone else loves it so it starts getting awkward if I rule myself out to be honest (although I’d much rather rule myself out 🤣)

This year I’ve drawn the youngest in the team who I rarely work with so don’t know as well as the others - 25, very pink and girly, very religious, doesn’t drink, likes Disney. Quite opposite to me 🤣

Strict £10 limit - and vouchers are not allowed.

Anyone better at this than me? 🤣

Likes Disney? Stitch lego brickheadz - £9.99?

Boots £10 Tuesday. A Soap & Glory set.

£10 budget is getting increasingly difficult! I feel your secret Santa pain

I usually ask someone close to them for ideas.

If you have a morrisons supermarket near you, they are doing disney bells mystery bag ornaments buy one get one free for £2 (I bought one at the weekend and they are good)

Go to Primark and get a nice little make up bag, buy a lip balm and put inside the bag

Spend the remainder on a little selection box.

I have our new 19yo student for secret santa this year, also for £10.

I got her a notebook with her name on it from Etsy for £6, a set of biros with positive messages on for £3.50 and a £1 bag of choc snowballs.

It's maybe a bit anonymous, but I hope not something you could be offended by as a gift.

Thanks all for the ideas ☺️

@teaandtoastwouldbenice - £10 budget is very difficult now I think - at least to get anything decent. We also have 2 of the 4 who pride themselves on getting the most they can for the £10 so it’s always a bag filled with stuff from the pound shop

Hot chocolate bombes. Look up cocoba

Get her a disney christmas tree decoration: https://www.hallmark.co.uk/products/collectable-disney-hanging-ornament-up-house-with-balloons-design

Why not something to eat? A panettone or a super fancy chocolate log?

If she can’t eat it, someone in her family probably will so at least it’s something that’ll get used.

Tbh I’d rather have one nice thing than ten bits of tat 😂

They call me the Grinch. So I got her a coal notebook!!! (Yes she will get a real present too but I couldn't resist).... Baa humbug

Some novelty Grinch slippers? Or just play it safe and get chocolate!

This!

Go to primark they usually have disney themed hairbrushes and handheld mirrors & stuff or go online on the Disney store, (are they even on the High St anymore?!) & buy her a notebook or a mug lol.

Primark always has loads of Disney stuff

I feel yr pain - our limit is £5(!!!)

I was going to say some very girlie pink fluffy slippers, but primark disney stuff sounds like a better idea! I don't go to the shops, so had no idea about that option!

It's hard to go wrong with a box of chocolates or biscuits - lots in M&S at that price point

Boots have lots of gifts under £10, @BeaLolathey even have some £5 or less

Looks at the boots £10 Tuesday offers.

Primary Disney bits and include gift receipt so they can return if they don't like (and can be bothered!)

Disney tat from Primark.

🎀 Playful & Affordable

• Disney keyring or charm – small but personal.
• Cute plushie (mini size) – think pastel or Disney-inspired.
• Hot chocolate gift set – indulgent but non-alcoholic.

🎯 Safe “Universal” Options

• Cosy winter accessories – gloves, scarf, or fluffy socks.
• Bath bombs or pamper set – girly, fun, and self-care oriented.
• Reusable water bottle in pink/pastel – practical and stylish.
