SECRET SANTA GIFT IDEAS FOR HER: FROM FRIENDS TO COWORKERS
We love a festive mystery, and one of the greatest is which Secret Santa ideas will prevail this Christmas! But it's certainly no secret that a Secret Santa ticks multiple boxes. And if you choose from our picks of the best christmas pyjamas, loungewear, socks and fluffy slippers to gift, you will be ticking a lot of boxes too!
The time-honoured tradition brings a festive feeling to any group setting, from places of work, to friendship circles. It's inclusive, but requires only a small contribution (usually limited to £10 or £20) from each individual. And, most importantly, it conjures the excitement of possibility (who's name will I draw? Who will draw mine?) and the joy of choosing and unveiling small treasures.
Still, it can feel a little daunting to pick out something meaningful (or, at least, useful), especially on a tight budget.
Allow us to fix our (Santa) hats and help. We've curated the best Secret Santa presents for friends and colleagues, for budgets big and small.
UNDER £10: SECRET SANTA GIFTS FOR COWORKERS
Sometimes you hit the jackpot and pick someone you know well at work, but sometimes your Secret Santa recipient's interests are every bit as secret as the festive game itself. When you don't know exactly what they love, stick with what everyone is likely to use. At Boux, we do practical and pretty, so you can't go wrong.
Think budget-friendly Velvet fleece socks or our quirkier still Reindeer cosy socks she can wear when she kicks off her work shoes.
Reduce the time and cost of wrapping with our selection of seasonal socks in a bag (which doubles as a practical storage sack), like our Xmas flamingo socks in a bag , and Pudding socks in a bag. These versatile cotton socks could even make an appearance at this year's office party!
UNDER £10: SECRET SANTA GIFT IDEAS FOR FRIENDS
While novelty socks go down a treat in the office, our 2 pack cosy heart trainers are a budget-friendly choice that reflects the extra love shared between friends. We love that they're so soft, but not too fluffy for all-day wear.
If your sporty girlfriend always wears her hair up, consider gifting her a great hair day with our retro 3 pack fluffy scrunchies. More of a blowout babe? The Velvet bow hair clip is just the thing to emphasise a great hair day.
If skincare and beauty's her bag, double down with two items which come in under a strict £10 budget: the Boux Wellness lip scrub and Boux Wellness lip balm.
Little pick-me-ups for her handbag are always welcome treats - plus perfect for those quicky transitions from work to play (featuring you, obviously).
UNDER £20: SECRET SANTA IDEAS FOR WORK
If you have a £20 Secret Santa budget at work, you have a lot of joy-inducing treasures to consider. And you can definitely look beyond novelty socks.
Although, our super soft non-slip Penguin cosy slipper socks do make for lavishly festive feet your colleagues will adore.
If the winter animals theme seems a hit, you can also swap socks for mules with our Penguin mule slippers or Reindeer mule slippers. They send a welcome signal that your colleagues deserve to put their feet up this season.
Perhaps you've picked a Secret Santa known for pulling late nights? Suggest an antidote with our playful Fluffy reindeer eyemask.
If you're not sure what to get her for the office or for home, how about something for in between? Chic winter accessories like our Pom pom hat (personalise it with her favorite neutral tone of grey, pink or tan) are seasonal staples and Secret Santa winners alike. Mind, if she's known for endless good hair days, support her victory run with Fluffy earmuffs instead.
UNDER £20: SECRET SANTA IDEAS FOR WOMEN
A truly versatile Secret Santa budget for friends, £20 gives you scope to showcase love and appreciation for the leading women in your friendship circle.
With indulgent, night-in frontrunners like our Sparkle Chenille knit mule slippers (in pink or grey), or its non-slip sister Chenille sparkle cosy slipper socks, you'll show solidarity in a season of rest and retreat.
Meanwhile, Polar bear cosy slipper socks deliver the same toasty toes, with a side of seasonal novelty for the friend who can't resist the magic and charm of Christmas. Speaking of bears and their eponymous hugs, a Fluffy hot water bottle will be there for her (just as you are) when she needs a warm pick-me-up.
Or, maybe, you'd prefer to hint at the festive fun that awaits you this season. Over the knee socks Wherever the night takes you, our versatile could just easily stay in as you go out.
For glam friends, you can pack serious sophistication into a Secret Santa budget. She'll own her Queen status in the Diamante eyemask. Humankind's magpies who love all that sparkles and shines will also embrace the Embellished cross band slider slippers .
LUXURY SECRET SANTA GIFTS FOR HER
If this year's gifting circle allows you to blow the budget, Boux has just the Secret Santa gift ideas for her to really treat the lucky person belonging to the name you pulled.
A present you don't have to wrap, thanks to its pretty self-printed storage bag, our super warm Present fleece pyjamas in a bag and Robin fleece pyjamas in a bag will set her up for a season of sweet dreams.
If you are treating her to these pyjama sets, you have to throw in the matching present socks in a bag or matching robin socks in a bag too. You just can't miss out on a combo that cute!
Luxury slippers get versatile boot status with our Fluffy boot slippers, in pink or white, and our printed Knitted heart mule slippers. Like a good friendship, slipping into these allows her to pick up exactly where she left off (on Netflix, that is).
For more nightwear, meets loungewear vibes that will see her through the winter weekends, consider the Fairisle ribbed soft playsuit or Dream ribbed short pyjama set. Let the binge-watching weekends begin.
Presenting the epitome of winter warmers, the Borg range is a seriously indulgent gift so lovely it'll inspire a hint of mourning when the cold weather passes. The Boux lounge borg set is ideal for a weekend walk, while the Fluffy heart oversised cosy hoodie is the thing she'll look forward to most at the end of a long day.
After a treat for transitions? Our character-full Fluffy koala short dressing gown is the perfect companion to precede your big nights out together. It's a robe that feels like a warm blanket.
Speaking of which, we have a warm blanket that is just that, in all its simple excellence. The Carved star fluffy blanket with its super soft reversible star print or pink fabric is simple, but exceptional, and perfect for a successful season of Secret Santas.
