Secret Santa is a fun tradition, but it can be tricky to buy for someone you only know a little. The trick is a gift that is useful, a bit personal and safe whoever receives it. A name or initials on the front does the personal bit for you.

The short versionChoose a personalised notebook with their name or initials. It is useful, friendly, and easy to wrap, post or hand over at the party.

Why personalised gifts work for Secret Santa

  • They show you made an effort without being too personal.
  • They are not easily duplicated by someone else’s gift.
  • They are small and easy to wrap, post or hand over.
