So, you’re attending a Christmas party that requires you to bring a Secret Santa gift? Maybe it’s for a friend you’ve known for years, or perhaps they’re more of an acquaintance. Either way, it can be tough to nail down the right surprise. This year, however, you can consider Us your personal elves, since we’ve already done the heavy lifting for you, rounding up a few ideas.
The key to finding the best secret Santa gift is by narrowing down which category is right for that person. If they’re a beauty maven, a red light therapy mask will be an exciting addition to their routine. If they’re no stranger to getting their hands dirty, an indoor garden will up their plant-parent game. And when in doubt, cashmere never fails! Plus, all of our picks are under $100, so despite having an A+ gift, you’ll still be well within budget.
