How To Give Secret Santa Gifts People Will Actually Like

Stumped by someone you don’t know well? Go with a gift card from a store or web site that offers a wide selection.

Create a festive food and drink package. Your recipient may enjoy it at home – or bring it to someone else’s party. Either way, rest assured that salami will get eaten.

For family members get gifts geared toward spending time together, like board games or movie tickets.

In the office, stick to tasteful and professional choices, and only attempt a humorous gift if you know the recipient well. ’Tis the season to be jolly, not inappropriate.

If your recipient is a child, look for age-appropriate, hands-on gifts like toys, puzzles, games, novelties, and oddities. For preteens and teens, get gift cards to the stores they like. No matter what the situation is, your Secret Santa gifts are sure to be a hit.
