As the festive season approaches, it isn’t a bad idea to show some appreciation to your co-workers or  those who helped you. Here are some amazing secret santa gift ideas for you. Stick to a small budget and make it cute – don’t spend too much and show off with it.

These secret santa gift ideas are humble enough to afford, yet will stay with the person getting the gift for a long time.

Quality Tea

If you had to pick the most popular office-appropriate consumable, it would be tea? While coffee might be the most logical answer, the growing tide of tea enthusiasts begs to differ. A fancy tea is something that probably costs less than you might have imagined.

Travel Mugs

Whilst we’re on the subject of warm beverages, commuting might be somewhat of an issue in your office. A travel mug for those who love their drinks hot is an excellent and cheap gift for employees.

Charger

We all have them, yet we always seem to be asking people if they have a spare one. Let’s face it, hardly anyone actually buys a charger. There are a ton of cute ones out there, and they make perfect gifts .

USB

Much like chargers, most of us use USBs that someone else gave us. There are so many cute and interesting options available,  with high storage, yet ridiculously affordable.

Phone Hard Case

We all own smartphones which are ridiculously prone to damage. Cheap hard cases, however, tend to make a phone look unattractive, which is why presenting your employees with appropriate phone covers is a great gesture. Furthermore, they will greatly appreciate the fact that you took time to take ask around about the telephones your employees own.
