The annual office Secret Santa exchange can often leave us scratching our heads, wondering what to buy for that coworker we barely know. With a tight £10 budget, the options may seem slim. But fear not! We’ve scoured the shops to bring you 30 affordable gift ideas that are sure to please even the pickiest of recipients.

Artsy Accessories for Under a Tenner

For the fashion-forward colleague, consider a pair of statement socks featuring iconic artwork. Uniqlo’s exclusive Kaws + Warhol UT Socks collaboration, priced at just £5.90, brings a pop of art history to any outfit. Or opt for a personalised leather keyring, available on Etsy for as little as £8.50. It’s a stylish and practical gift that shows you put some thought into it.

Tasty Treats and Festive Fragrances

You can never go wrong with edible gifts. Surprise your Secret Santa with a box of whimsical chocolate sardines for just £2.25, or personalise a bar of Tony’s Chocolonely for £7.13. Pair it with a festive scented candle, like John Lewis’ Spiced Clementine & Pomegranate votive for £6.37, to really get them in the holiday spirit.

The key to a great Secret Santa gift is finding something unique that suits the recipient’s personality, without overspending. It’s the thought that counts!
