Secret Santa gifts
under $25.

A good Secret Santa gift up to $25 is one thing the person you drew will actually use: a tumbler, a party game, good coffee or a desk gadget. These ideas work for a coworker, a friend or an adult relative you only see at the holidays, even when you don't know them well.

How to pick for whoever you drew

  • Pick for the person, not the price tag. A gift that fits their day matters more than the last few dollars.
  • Choose one good thing over a bundle. A single quality item lands better than a bag of small fillers.
  • Consumables are a safe bet. A bag of good coffee gets used up instead of cluttering a desk. Check whether they drink it first.
  • Keep it easy to carry home. Small and sturdy is easier to carry home from the party than bulky or fragile.

What is a good Secret Santa gift for $25?
One really good thing beats several small ones. At $25 that can be a quality tumbler, a portable charger, a board game, a small LEGO set or a good book.
What do you get someone you don't know well?
Go for something useful and easy to like: a nice mug or tumbler, a desk gadget, a card game or a cozy lamp. Skip clothes, strong scents and anything too personal.
Are these prices current?
Not always. You're seeing each store's price from the last time we checked, and stores change prices and stock often. You'll see the final price, shipping and tax at checkout.
