We’re edging closer and closer to Christmas and you know what that means — Secret Santa present swaps time!
I know it can be daunting. I’ve been known to leave mine until the day before, which by the way I don’t recommend doing.

Secret Santa is particularly stressful when you have a price limit. Sure, it means you don’t spend too much, but it basically suggests your gift needs to meet the limit.

It’s the perfect time to stock up on all your secret Santa Christmas gifts right now while everything is still in stock and you don’t have that last minute pressure.
You can try to zero in on a theme for your gift. Self-care is something we all need, so beauty products are always a fool proof idea.
Or you could try to keep it simple and think of things that you’d love to buy for yourself – but probably wouldn’t – within the budget.
I say probably wouldn’t, not because these gifts aren’t dreamy. But as we’re always encouraged to save our pennies and not spend on frivolous items, sometimes we don’t realise how much we’d actually appreciate some items – such as candles, board games or fun glassware.
Need more ideas? Here are the rest of my picks for the best Christmas gifts for your Secret Santa under £20.
