25 Can't-Go-Wrong Secret Santa Gifts Everyone Will Want
No stressing this season with these thoughtful and wallet-friendly buys (they're all under $30!) that anyone will be happy to receive.
Whether it's for your co-workers, best friends or family, a Secret Santa gift exchange is a time-honored way to spread Christmas cheer and keep your shopping list to one lucky person instead of buying for the whole group. But when the bowl is full of names, it's the luck of the draw. Will you be buying for a close pal, your favorite cousin, the uncle you only see once a year or the co-worker that just started a month ago?
No matter who you draw, we've got you covered with an array of gift ideas for guys and gals, old and young. And the best part? These Secret Santa gift ideas won't take a big chunk out of your Christmas budget.
Upgrade their movie night with a gourmet popcorn kit. With three different types of non-GMO kernels and five seasoning blends, they can customize their at-home popping to their exact tastes.
Sprinkled with blooms from your recipient's birth month, these gorgeous glasses are a lovely addition to their kitchen cabinets. The personalized gift is a thoughtful way for them to celebrate their birthday all year long.
Puzzle love plus the chance to play detective? This is a fun combo to gift to the person on your list. They'll start off by reading the mystery — either the case of The Clairvoyant's Convention or The Missing Will — and then finish the jigsaw puzzle, which provides all the clues to uncover the culprit.
These handpainted mugs are the perfect addition to their holiday kitchen collection. Pair them with a hot chocolate or an apple cider mix to set your Secret Santa up for a warm and cozy night.
This is, in our opinion, the best hot chocolate. Instead of powder, it's made from actual chocolate shavings that melt in warm milk for the ultimate cozy winter drink. You'll probably want to grab one for yourself, too.
Movie night just got so much better (and sans all those chemicals found in prepackaged popcorn bags.) This handy popper makes homemade popcorn and melts butter all at once so that they can make their theater snack just the way they want. Throw it in the dishwasher afterward for easy cleanup.
Up their appetizer game with this stoneware brie baker. Designed with integrated handles and a ventilated lid to release steam, this all-in-one dish allows them to bake and serve up delicious brie recipes.
This personal ice cream maker means they're only 30 minutes away from a homemade pint. Keep the cooling bowl in the freezer and when ready for a frozen treat, fill it with a yummy concoction and simply push the button.
Not just for camping (although perfect if you got an outdoor enthusiast), the YETI Rambler keeps cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot all day. Available in 20 different colors, this mug is a guaranteed hit for anyone on your list.
You drew the guy that loves to explore, and this fun, personal gift embraces adventure. Pick from either a world or U.S. map, and he can chart his travels by coloring in the places he's visited. After each trip, color in the location and then pop in the oven to permanently update the map.
