White elephant gifts people will actually LIKE (updated for 2019!)
In the next two weeks, thousands of White Elephant gift exchanges will unfold. There will be variants. Many people will completely forget to get a... Read more
It’s the unofficial holiday we all love to hate: BLACK FRIDAY! For some of us, this whole post-Thanksgiving weekend is going to be all about the deals and getting presents at the lowest prices we can find. It’s actually a pretty good time to find some of those inevitable white elephant and Secret Santa gifts, too. If you’ve got a coworker, friend, family member, or just yourself to buy for, we’ve found a few doozies that are guaranteed to please someone out there.
I’ve included gifts in a variety of price ranges since there’s usually a limit or minimum when it comes to these round robin-style gift exchanges.
Pro tip: are you organizing the Secret Santa gifts? This site allows you to add all of the names you need and have everyone generate a match. This helps when you’re not all in the same room literally picking from a hat. We all don’t live in the same town, Aunt Janet!
Back to our regularly scheduled Secret Santa shopping, all sorted neatly by price to match your gifting needs…
Under $10
For the coworker who excels at sarcasm as well as you do.
For the friend obsessed with avo toast (raises hand).
$10 – $25
Excuse me while I dip into my cat face purse and pull out ALL OF MY AWESOMENESS.
Snag a small custom art print for your friends’ walls and watch them swoon.
Pineapples are somebody’s jam and you know it!
For the friend who channels Roy from The IT Crowd.
A big butt metaphor on which to sit your butt.
Do you know anyone who DOESN’T need light-up unicorn slippers?!
For making these gray winter days a little more faux sunny.
The ultimate Potterphile work lunch soup bowl.
$25 – $50
BRB… getting tacos (in pillow form!).
We love oVertone for their non-damaging color conditioner that replaces your normal hair conditioner without all the junk (e.g. sulfate-free, paraben-free, ammonia-free…even vegan and cruelty-free). For gifting, they’ve got build-your-own kit sets (if you know what color your pal wants) or go for a gift card if you just want to give the gift of dope hair.
As me about my cats OR my sick (potentially imaginary) job title…
Game nights are gifts for us all.
For the coworker who knew him, Horatio.
$50+

loads of great ideas, thanks!
I love the idea of minted! But the postage to Europe is pretty steep. Is there a UK equivalent?
