If you’re staring at a Secret Santa gift and feeling a little stumped…I get it. But there is still time! I feel like we are better than the $25 gift card we picked up at CVS, you know? So I gathered my favorite elevated little gifts—the things that look chic or feel useful and defiintely won’t blow the budget. Consider this your shortcut to being the person who always brings the gift everyone steals during the exchange.
matches cloche | candle | bright land pizza night kit
byoma skincare set | cutting board + cookbook stand | journal
wine glass set | waffle bowl maker | matcha glass
throw blanket | ‘champagne’ bluetooth speaker | card set
A Few Favorites:
- Candle + Matches set: I like the idea of giving a ‘set’ sometimes and giving the matches with the candle seems like a steal-worthy gift to me. Mainly because I’d steal this set. 😉
- Unique kitchen gifts: Between this waffle bowl maker (very family friendly), the pizza night kit and the cutting board / cook book stand I feel like all of these would Secret Santa showstoppers. Everyone loves a kitchen gadget or gift, so you really can’t go wrong.
- Go-to glassware: Between these gorgeous wine glasses or this matcha (or iced coffee!) glass, you could easily pair one with a bottle of wine or a tin of matcha, as well! Sets always do well!
- Under $30: If you are on a set dollar limit, the waffle bowl maker, the throw blanket, journal, card set, and champagne speaker are all under $30!
