Secret Santa is a fun holiday tradition, but too often you end up with cheap gifts that end up going to a White Elephant party or collecting dust in the back of your closet.
You don't have to spend a lot on Secret Santa gifts to find something that's still special. We rounded up 50 fun gifts under $25 that they'll actually really like.
If you're participating in a Secret Santa this year, keep reading for 50 great gift options they'll actually want to keep.
In theory, Secret Santa is a great idea. In practice, it can be a little underwhelming. You could end up with that cozy scarf your best friend knew you wanted - or, you could end up with lackluster socks from your neighbor that will definitely end up in your re-gift pile.
Whether you're responsible for getting a gift for someone you know really well or someone you barely do, get them a gift they won't relegate to the storage closet. If you're spending money, make it count with something they'll actually want.
Don't worry, we already did the grunge work and found 50 gifts that your secret Santa recipient will love. We've got everything from the more generically-appealing, like chocolate for your sweet coworker, to the more personal, like a portable cheese melter for your cheese-obsessed friend. Plus, they're all $25 or less, so scroll with abandon.
