Secret Santa Gift Ideas

Good Secret Santa gift ideas make one person laugh and then get used every day. Personalised gifts beat generic ones because the photo does the work. Think of a mug with a picture from the team's bowling night, a jigsaw of the team, or coasters for a desk. Small and one of a kind, it makes a Christmas Secret Santa present that nobody else could have bought.

A funny Secret Santa gift for work is built on an office joke everyone already knows. Print the photo of the broken printer, or the team's famous fancy dress from the summer do, on a mug with a jokey caption. A silly jigsaw of the team's worst group photo is a novelty gift for work colleagues that keeps the fun going into January.

Good Secret Santa gifts for men come from his world. For the lads, a jigsaw of the pub quiz team holding their one trophy. A guy who shrugs at everything smiles at a mouse mat of his dog. A male colleague might get a mug of his allotment with a funny line. Drew Dad in a family draw? A jigsaw of the grandchildren gives him something to do on Boxing Day.

Good Secret Santa gifts for the ladies at work feel thoughtful without getting too close for comfort. Try cute coasters with her cat, or a quirky mug with her best holiday snap and a short caption. A female colleague who loves a laugh gets a jigsaw of the team in matching jumpers from last year. Choose whatever she talks about most, from her five-a-side team to her dog.

A good unisex Secret Santa gift suits any co-worker, which matters in an office draw where you may pull a name you hardly know. A photo mug of the team at last summer's away day works for a manager or the boss just as well as for a new starter. Keep the picture kind and the caption office-friendly, so it can sit on any desk without a second thought.

Secret Santa gifts for people you don't know well start with a quiet look at what they share at work. A team photo, the department's day out or a snap of their favourite view all look good printed on a mug or jigsaw. If you are stuck, ask a colleague who knows them for one picture. A shared memory feels thoughtful without guessing at their private tastes.

Photo gifts work well for a family Secret Santa, because everyone already shares the pictures. A cushion of the cousins on a summer beach, with a few words beneath, suits a grandparent. In a staff-room draw for teachers, a jigsaw of the staff team on sports day goes down well. A key ring with the family dog is a safe pick for anyone at the table.

Order your Secret Santa gift as soon as you know whose name you drew, because finding the right photo is the slow part, so ask a colleague for one early if you need to. Christmas last order dates go up on the Printerpix delivery page nearer the time.
