## What are good Secret Santa gifts for anyone?

When you don't know the person well, choose something everyone uses with a bit of character. A novelty mug or a mug and socks set gets used every day, and most come boxed, ready to hand over.

## What are funny Secret Santa gifts that won't offend?

Gentle humour works best in a mixed group. A birthday-joke candle or a frog-shaped mug raises a laugh without making anyone uncomfortable.

## What if they love books?

Bookish gifts are a safe bet for readers: a book-shaped mug or vase, or a mug and socks set for a reading night.
