16 Secret Santa Gifts Under $25 For Every Type Of Person

If your family, friend group, or coworkers don’t do the whole digital generator and wish list shebang like my family does, then it can be difficult to know what exactly your Secret Santa needs or wants. And nothing can be tricker (or more awkward) than picking a coworker’s name and not really knowing their personality or interests. But no worries! There are tried-and-true gifts that anyone would appreciate, as well as more niche ones that show you pay attention and truly care for even your hard-to-shop-for friends.

We’ve pulled Secret Santa gifts under $25 that will please your music-loving cousin, spicy bestie, jet-setting colleague, and handy father-in-law. From food gifts and tech to beauty bundles and games, find the best holiday gift ideas and, more specifically, the best under-$25 gifting ahead to accomplish your Santa duties.

FP Movement X Mayim 24oz Collapsible Carabiner Bottle

For: The Well-Prepared Giftee

I personally never leave the house without water because, well, you just never know where the day’s going to take you. And I love a collapsible water bottle because I can make it small and compact when I’m not using it and easily pop it open and refill it when I need. Your giftee will also appreciate this reusable bottle, which you can tailor to their favorite color.

Piecework Zodiac Mini Puzzle

For: The Astrology-Obsessed Giftee

We love a personalized gift, especially when it doesn’t cost a whole lot of money. For the person in your life who knows absolutely everything about their zodiac sign and is proud of it, gift them a stunning puzzle with aesthetically pleasing collage prints. Then, when they’re done, they can place it on their coffee table or frame for their desk as a piece of artwork.

Poppy & Pout Cinnamint Lip Care Duo Gift Set

For: The Chapstick Lip-Smacking Giftee

Honestly, I always love receiving lip care sets during the holidays because 1) I tend to lose my lip balms throughout the year and 2) my chapped lips need serious TLC in the winter. I have this particular lip balm and lip scrub set, and think the cinnamon-mint scent is so reminiscent of the holidays. That friend or coworker who re-applies their lip balm 10 times a day will definitely love this.

Nothing’s more exciting than traveling, but nothing’s worse than getting neck aches or bad sleep from a flight. This travel gift will help your giftee feel like they’re sitting first class (without you or them paying first-class prices). Plus, they won’t have to wait until they actually board a flight, and can use the lightweight sleep mask every night.

TRUFF Hot Sauce 4-Pack Travel Bottles

For: The “Hot Sauce In My Bag” Giftee

If you know your giftee loves hot sauce and dowses all their meals in it, they’ll get a kick out of these mini bottles that they can keep on them at all times. Because *gasp* what if the restaurant they go to doesn’t have any? Honestly, any TRUFF hot sauce is a great spice-lover gift, but we bet your giftee has never received anything like this set before.

Pair this with their favorite essential oil and you’ve got yourself a thoughtful Secret Santa gift.

Laneige’s lip sleeping masks are iconic, and I don’t know anyone who isn’t happy to receive multiples of them. This limited-edition set includes a festive peppermint mask and a berry lip balm that will spark some joy before turning down for the night. And as any celebrity beauty routine video will tell you, they’re also great as lip glosses during the day.
