If you think buying gifts for your mom, dad, or sibling is hard, then perhaps you’ve never played Secret Santa with your coworkers. These kinds of presents are hard to nail because they have to be safe for work and usually within a certain budget. And what happens if you aren’t that close with the person whose name you picked? There’s a lot to think about when ordering a Secret Santa gift for a coworker, but I’ve gone ahead and rounded up a bunch of thoughtful and creative options.
When writing this story, I thought about price point first. Oftentimes, Secret Santa entails a price limit to ensure nobody’s bringing AirPod Max headphones or something super expensive (and honestly, quite extra) to the office holiday party. $20, $25, $30, and $50 are common Secret Santa budgets for any group of people, which is why I included a a $9 planner, a $21 coffee gift , and a $40 neck and back massager . But if you really want to get creative, my personal favorites are the Japanese snack box, mug warmer , and Positive Potato .
I also considered common interests. You don’t have to know that your coworker jams out at concerts every weekend or would sell an arm and a leg for Harry Styles to know that they enjoy coffee, snacks, or staying super organized. You should be able to find the perfect, within-budget Secret Santa gift for your work buddy, below.
And if you’re so slammed with work that you don’t have time to order something extra thoughtful (understandable!), an Amazon e-gift card gets the job done and immediately puts any delivery days or budget concerns to rest.
Ahead, find the best Secret Santa gifts for coworkers across all price points and interests. Any of the following ideas will have everyone else wishing you’d picked their name first.
