Secret Santa for Him
Secret santa gifts for men are often difficult to pick, but it’s possible to find small gifts that suit.
Does he have a hobby? Is he funny or serious and does he like a beer on Friday nights? It’s worth taking a little bit of time to uncover your recipient’s tastes, so you can surprise them with a secret santa that’s either failsafe, rude or thoughtful but still suits their personality.
There’s no point buying Christmas tipples for a teetotaller, or a football themed gift for a man who only cycles because it’ll look like you can’t be bothered, and yes, secret santa is supposed to be secret, but in reality everyone knows who is buying for whom.

Secret Santa Ideas for the Office
The office secret santa is an established tradition that some folk love, but it’s fraught with difficulty too, such as the possibility of picking the boss’s name. It can make the most confident employee nervous.
Office politics are no reason to put in minimal effort, not least because every pair of eyes is on you. If your gift falls short, everyone will know and that leaves a bad impression.
Some people avoid the situation by refusing to take part, but it is Christmas time and taking part shows your team spirit. Don’t be a grouch, take the plunge – we’re here to support you whether you need a cheeky, safe or thoughtful secret santa.
Dealing With The Budget
And speaking of the budget, often a secret santa will have a maximum spend, and this is where it gets tricky because finding a cheap but original secret santa gift is hard work.
If you’ve pulled a total stranger’s name from the secret santa hat of horror there is no need to grab a bottle of special offer supermarket wine, even if the budget is set to a stifling fiver. Impress them all with one of our budget-busting imaginative gifts and make a big impression.
Rude and Funny Secret Santa Gifts
Secret santas are well-known for the rude gifts that slip in each year.
There are levels of rude ranging from tongue-in-cheek to downright naughty. Make sure you have gauged the reception of your secret santa correctly. We all love a bit of humour, but embarrassing a shy colleague or friend isn’t in the Christmas spirit.
Wilder friends that enjoy shock value will be hoping for something that makes everyone blush, so do your worst and stand well back with your mobile set to capture the moment.
Play It Safe
If you are at all unsure it’s best to play safe with a cute, kind or useful present. These are the sort of gifts that colleagues and friends can take home and show their family. Safe presents don’t have to be boring though – our selection is thoughtful, fun and suitable for just about anyone.
Don’t ruin your Christmas wandering around the shops with a rising sense of panic, check out our range of secret santa gifts for all budgets and never be accused of ruining the fun – all from the comfort of your sofa.
So order up, sit back with that tin of Christmas chocolates, and watch a festive film safe in the knowledge your secret santa gift will go down a treat.
