There’s no such thing as a small Christmas gift. Any present is a thoughtful gesture and a sign of your appreciation. That’s why you don’t have to spend a fortune for Secret Santa or on something for the special people in your life. We’ve rounded up the best Christmas gift ideas under $15 that won’t break the bank. 

Best Secret Santa Gifts for Your Colleagues

Looking for the perfect Secret Santa gift for your colleagues? These ideas, like nourishing hand creams, will be a hit.

Struggling to think of a good Secret Santa gift? Or maybe you just want to spread a little Christmas cheer around your office? We’ve got you covered with these thoughtful presents.

For a simple, stylish desk accessory, you can’t go past an attractive mouse mat. Designed in collaboration with Aboriginal artist Natalie Jade, fifty cents from each sale will go towards The Australian Literacy & Numeracy Foundation. A small tube of hand cream to pop in their desk drawer will be appreciated by most co-workers who spend a lot of time in air-conditioned environments, especially when it comes in an attractively designed package.

If you have any colleagues still getting their takeaway coffee in paper cups (yes, even in 2022), this reusable cup may convert them. For something a little different, try these Otto Officise Yoga Cards. Each of the 20 cards has a different office-themed yoga pose with a cute illustration, making them a good reminder for your colleagues to get up and stretch. Who knows – they may even inspire a team yoga session!

Best Secret Santa Gifts for Travellers

Looking for the best Secret Santa gifts for travellers? They’ll love these reusable cups and cool luggage tags.

They’ll never have trouble spotting their bags on the carousel again with one of these eye-catching and colourful super-cool luggage tags. They’re slip-style, so they’re easy to fasten onto luggage, plus they’re made of PVC to withstand the battering bags might get along the way.

For those who travel for work (or often work on-the-go), this striking two-tone laptop sleeve is just the ticket. Made of sturdy polyester, it’s scratch- and bump-resistant and fits laptops up to 14 inches wide. The zip-up pocket on the front is handy for storing accessories such as a mouse or charger.

Great for travel or work, this Otto drink bottle is made of borosilicate glass, so that it can handle both hot and cold liquids better than normal glass, and it has a silicone cover and bamboo lid, making it both durable and eco-friendly.

A reusable cup for both hot and cold drinks is another on-the-go essential for anyone these days. This one is made of stainless steel to keep drinks at optimum temperature for longer, while the stylish palm-leaf pattern creates a tropical-island feeling even on a daily commute to work or school.

Finally, give a gift that lets a loved one take care of themselves while on the road with this wellness dice set. The set of six dice comes in a handy tin and they provide inspiration for promoting self-care and reflection, with action prompts like “read” or “meditate” and affirmation prompts such as “I am grateful”. Perfect for those about to embark on a well-earned vacation.
