As the Christmas music gets louder and the shops get busier, I find myself tucked away enjoying some form of Christmas coffee while turning to my trusted shopping friend - the internet!
I am aware that there will be millions of you who enjoy traipsing around the overcrowded shopping centres having your personal space invaded by heavy breathers. Then standing in a queue to purchase an item that you are still not you want to by, all for the gratification of having your arms full of shopping bags - of the non food shopping variety.
As well as shopping for the usual suspects a wild card is always thrown in the mix in the form of 'Secret Santa'.
I always love Secret Santa shopping. I love the challenge of finding a decent present with the restrictions given. The usual amount for a work Secret Santa is £10, as it is a good amount and hopefully won't break the bank. I also think you would be hard pushed to get a decent present for anything less.
As I have been searching for Secret Santa present ideas, I thought I would share my findings with you lovely folk, and hopefully inspire the Secret Santa's out there to purchase a good gift, and not another random slogan mug. Do people really think a mug is an acceptable Christmas gift?
I am going to be pulling together some gift ideas which will be split into three separate posts;
- Girlspiration - for a female recipient
- Guyspiration - for a male recipient
- Generalspiration - when its a lucky dip
Although I have titled this Secret Santa, these will also make great pocket money gifts for a school friend, or family member - depending on your budget.
The first feature will be Girlspiration and this will be available on Tuesday.
In the meantime, Happy Christmas Shopping!
