Office Secret Santa Gifts Under $50 That Aren’t Another Sodding Candle

As we get balls-deep into office Christmas party season, a fair few of us are officially struggling to find a work Secret Santa gift.

I mean, I’m all for Christmas presents, but finding the right thing to buy your colleague, who you might know sweet FA about, can somehow feel like a bit of a trap. Get something too boring and you might be sidelined for that next promotion. Get something too spicy and you might get a call from HR.

And, in addition to finding something that’s equal parts thoughtful and goddamn hilarious, your present buying is also capped at 50 buckaroonies (max). More often than not, the price point is even lower, at the $20 and even $10 mark, making shopping infinitely harder.

Here we round up a load of genius gift ideas to buy your work Secret Santa, that won’t leave you fired, demoted or broke as shit.
