Christmas & New Year
Secret Santa Gift Ideas Under The Budget Cap
Secret Santa runs on a low budget and a strict social code: funny is good, personal is risky, expensive is awkward. A mock-official document about someone's office habits threads all three, because it is obviously cheap, obviously effortful and aimed at behaviour everyone has witnessed.
Stay in shared office territory
Meeting habits, kitchen conduct, calendar behaviour. Nothing from outside work.
Make it readable aloud
Secret Santa gifts get opened in front of everyone. Structure it for that.
What makes it personal
One or two universally recognised habits will get the biggest reaction.
What we would make
Government-Issued Relationship Report Card — $4.99
An absurdly official two-page assessment of their merits, infractions and continued eligibility — affectionate, specific and very formally typeset.
- An official assessment of their mug ownership and meeting punctuality.
- A formal commendation for consistently excellent biscuit provision.
- A card issued as bureaucratic seasonal correspondence.
Also worth considering: Digital Emergency Card & Envelope.
