The office Secret Santa, woof. It can either be amazing or awful. Maybe you’ll have a few laughs, and get a gift that you’ll enjoy. Maybe it’ll be full of super awkward moments that make sitting at your desk seem like total bliss. Here are a few gifts for White Elephant and Secret Santas all of which are under-$25.
The Miracle Cube Timer ($18) is a great productivity tool. You can set a time limit for certain tasks (like responding to e-mail) and use the timer to keep you accountable. You can also use it to remind you to stand up every hour. If the cube isn’t pretty enough, try this $6 mini-hourglass.
NYC favorite Milk Bar makes the best cookies. They recently partnered with Madewell for a special edition blueberry cookie mix ($19). You can also buy their baking mixes, including my favorite, the Compost Cooking mix, at Target for $5. Or, if you want to make all of Christina Tosi’s delicious desserts, pick up their cookbook.
This Scratch-Off World Map ($24) is fun for the frequent traveler or the aspiring one. Also in black and white. They also have one for the United States.
This Watermelon/Pumpkin keg tap ($15) let’s you turn your favorite fruit or gourd into a drink dispenser.
This Mighty Toothbrush Holder ($15) clings to a mirror or shower wall. It’s the perfect way to store your toothbrush/toothpaste or keep your razor handy. Another fun toiletry item is a tube-roller key ($6) to get the last bit of toothpaste out of the tube.
Who wouldn’t want to make the perfect grilled cheese every time with these toaster friendly bags? Grilled Cheese Toast Bags ($9). You could even throw in a loaf of good bread and some slices.
Red Bird soft peppermint refresh-mints ($13) are one of my favorite holiday traditions. These mints are perfect for stockings, white elephants, or as a little treat for your office mates.
Jen Pearson’s Matchstick Bottles ($17-$24) are a great gift. They’re etched on the bottom so you can use the bottle to strike the matches. They go with any decor and are super useful.
Lottery tickets are a great gift for a White Elephant or Santa Swap. They don’t cost much. The recipient could win a little bit of money. And it’s always a little bit fun to work your way through the anticipation of scratching off the tickets.
