You can never go wrong with a cup, so this gift works really well if you’ll aren’t too close or you don’t know much about the other person. Also how perfect is this mute mug after this train-wreck of a year?

Socks just scream Christmas, just like ugly Christmas sweaters, everyone should also have a quirky pair of Christmas socks. We think a festive pair of socks are sure to get your Secret Santa into the holiday spirit!

3. L’Occitane Christmas Stocking - The Iconic $25

Skincare gift sets are a no-brainer, literally everybody uses a moisturiser and soap. L’Occitane’s shea butter range is also a crowd-favourite so this particular gift set not only great but also a safe option.

4. Rose Wine Bath Bombs - ASOS $14

Yes to anything Rose, nothing screams Aussie christmas more than the combo of relaxation and booze. One of the coolest bath bombs we’ve seen this is a great gift to remind them to de-stress and get them in the holiday mood.

5. Pop Vinyl Figure - Sanity $20

Listen if you know they have a favourite band, TV show or comic character there is nothing more exciting than getting a mini version of what they love. Take this Squid Games pop vinyl for example, it’s so cute you almost forget these are murdering, organ robbing bad guys- now that’s a stellar gift choice.

6. Uno Cards - Catch.com.au $10

There’s nothing like a competitive game of UNO to ruin or strengthen your friendship. I mean you know if you’ll are true friends if you both can agree whether you can top a +4 with another +4 card or not.

7. Pop It Stress Sheets - Catch.com.au $10

This is absolutely hilarious, and also a very necessary gift after the disaster 2020 has been. Also, with this gift your Secret Santa will get a bonus gift of a complete laugh riot. It’s just a gift that keeps on giving!

8. Underwater Camera - THE ICONIC $30

We’re all going to spend more time outdoors than we are inside, and the sun’s out your bestie will be spending heaps of time near some water body. So why not gift them an underwater camera to get some cute snaps of their summer memories?

9. Anklet - H&M $10

The reason we’re recommending an anklet is that you don’t have the stress about size, most anklets are one size fit for all, they’re subtle and a pretty casual jewellery gift, nothing with a deeper meaning you know? Plus. it’s a crowd-pleaser, can’t go wrong with it!

10. Cotton Tote - Red Bubble $23
