The best Secret Santa gifts ideas available for under £20

The festive season is full of many wonderful traditions and fun activities, like drinking mulled wine, eating pigs in blankets, and non-stop TV.

It’s not all good though, because it’s at this time of year that we get those super-fun-but-super-hard-to-shop-for gift exchanges. There’s normally some sort of draw in which you get someone from the office that you’ve never actually met, and there’s usually a really restrictive price limit.

Sure, you can find something under the limit in no time, but is your money really worth a gag gift that will be re-gifted next year? It can feel almost impossible to find something cheap and useful for a small fee, but this is where we can help.

We have searched all over the internet to bring you an exclusive list of the best Secret Santa gifts, with cheap options that the recipient will want to keep. You can find everything from pet selfie sticks to cool tech in this gift guide, with something for everyone.

These are the best Secret Santa gifts for under £20.

Ticket Stub Diary

For The Nostalgic Hoarder

We all know that one person who keeps everything —wristbands, receipts from special events, and especially tickets. This ticket stub diary is every nostalgic hoarder’s dream — with page after page of clear sleeves with multiple pocket sizes and margins below to write down details from the event. Every memory can now be stored in an organised way with this adorable book.

Shatterproof Wine Glasses

For The Wine Connoisseur

Everyone knows how risky it is to leave a wine glass sitting in the sink or on the counter (cats are real brats.) A four-pack of shatterproof wine glasses is the perfect, worry-free gift for the wine lover in your life.

Galileo Thermometer

For The Self-proclaimed Nerd

If you’ve got a friend or family member who loves all things science, why not get them a science gift that doubles as a sick decoration? This Galileo thermometer is just as classy as it is functional. The glass spheres on the inside are all different densities that individually rise or fall depending on the temperature. We bet they don’t have one of these yet.

Gym Keg

For The Fitness Freaks

Each plastic drink bottle holds a massive 2.2 litres of water, supporting all-day hydration of any athletes on your list. The built-in carry handle makes it easier to take this bottle to work, the gym, outdoor sports, or hiking. It looks seriously funky, too.

Handbag Light

For The Purse Hoarder

We all have that one friend whose bag is constantly overflowing with stuff. You know they won’t change their ways and clean anything out, but you can help them find items faster with this mini handbag light. It’s tiny and motion-sensing, so it’ll turn on when they’re digging around and help to see what’s buried.

Self Stirring Coffee Mug

For The Coffee Addict

Spice up someone’s morning routine with a self-stirring mug. The self-stirring feature makes drinking on the go even more convenient — perfect for the lazy morning person.

Pet Selfie Stick

Best For Dog Mums

For girls who like dogs more than they like people, the Uhomely Pet Selfie Stick is the selfie stick alternative made specifically for taking pictures with doggos. Clip it to your phone and show Fido the tennis ball on top. The ball gets him or her to do the impossible: Actually look at the camera, basically guaranteeing money shot after money shot.

Google Cardboard

For The Tech Head

Virtual reality, meet cardboard. OK, so this isn’t the most high tech VR headset out there, but for under £10, it’s pretty darn impressive. The Google Cardboard is a headset that works with the person’s smartphone and an app, allowing them to become immersed in whatever is on their phone screen.

It’s sad that arcades aren’t really a thing anymore. Wouldn’t it be great to play all those favourites from your childhood? Well it’s possible with these mini handheld arcade games, with 240 classic games included.

Bluetooth Tracker

For The Forgetful Person

If you’re shopping for a person who misplaces all of their belongings on a daily basis or constantly leaves their phone lying around in a public place, this is the gadget for them. Give your slightly spacey friend the gift of being able to track and find their phone, wallet, luggage, keys, pet, and all other important belongings with a Bluetooth smart tracker.

Super Mario Mushroom Light

For The Mario Fanatic

If you have someone in your life who breaks blocks with their head instead of watching Netflix, this aesthetically pleasing lamp could really light up their day. Even if your pal isn’t an avid Mario fan, this lamp is just 10 times more exciting than the traditional lampshade.

Cold Brew Coffee Maker

For The Trendy Coffee Addict

We all have that friend who has to be the trendy one, whether it’s with their fashion or diet. Luckily, this cold brew coffee maker glass can help them out. You won’t have to worry about dumping any leftover cold brew in the morning and enjoy a nice cup after work.

Star Wars Lego

For The Wannabe Jedi

Ear Buds

For The Music Lover

Truffle Chocolates

For Anyone With A Sweet Tooth
