This can be a general thread for sharing ideas.
Basically, what on earth do you get someone you don’t know very well?!
I’ve drawn the director of the company who’s around 70 and the budget is £20.

Great thread.
Suggestion wise, tricky.
Maybe a handmade mug or something like that?

Anyway, stuff around this budget that I got that I quite liked but isn’t appropriate for this person:
Blue light glasses
A voucher from here https://lendwithcare.org/
She talks about AI a lot so thought maybe this book…

Nice scarf. Got one ten years ago in office secret santa and I love it to this day. Mines an infinity scarf, as was the style at the time, but it’s still top notch.

Not this! I worked for the same organisation for 10 years and got 9 scarves as secret santa gifts.
The one year I didn’t, I got a pair of men’s socks and a pot of Vaseline.
Haven’t done secret santa for ages, but the last time I did I got the most humourless person in the office. Budget was £15 so I purchased a selection of items from the pound shop (pink steering wheel cover, small clothes drying rotary hanger, pair of marigolds, dog chew toy, that kind of thing) stuck them in a big box and wrapped it up. Of course, they loved it!
They didn’t, they fucking hated it. And then some amateur office sleuths went on a mission to try and work out who had been the gift giver

We have to reveal ourselves at end!!!
Think I’ll change the name of this thread…
Picked myself once, didn’t tell anyone and got myself a nice jumper. Also one year when I worked at a fancy department store one of the posh ladies (whose husband was an arms dealer) thought the budget was £50 not £10 and got me a massive hamper.

i find the idea of a Secret Santa where you NEVER find out the gift givers to be absolutely baffling

I like to make it my mission to find out who everyone’s got as early as possible.
