The Ultimate Secret Santa Guide
It’s official - the Christmas Countdown has begun.
So if you’ve heard the dreaded whispers of “Secret Santa” and are running out of time to find the perfect pressie - fear not! We’ve rounded up a selection of ideas and inspiration to help you out - whether for an intimidating boss or a long lost cousin.
FOR THE PET LOVER
What better way to your colleagues heart than a cute little gift for their furry loved one. We all know the pet-enthusiasts of the office (showing you pictures of their pup at any given moment or posting insta-stories of their cat every Sunday). It’s an instant win, can’t offend, and doesn’t get into a territory of anything too personal.
