Stuck for Christmas ideas? Don’t sweat. We know what you need to buy everyone you know and it’s all under £15
From your work Secret Santa to the sister who has it all, we’ve got you covered. In association with Aldi.
WE all know the feeling, the dreaded moment you pull Phil-from-accounts’ name out of the work Secret Santa hat…what on earth do you get him?
Or worse, you’re spending your first Christmas at your in-laws and you need to bring a gift, and it needs to say how great you are, the pressure is too much!
Well, not to worry. We’re here to your rescue. We’ve got the perfect gift idea for every type of person you know, and they’re all under £15. So relax, pop on some Mariah Carey and grab a mince pie, we’ve got the hard work covered.
Work Secret Santa
Ultimately, when it comes to your work Secret Santa, unless you’ve been lucky enough to pull out your work hubby/wife, there are two routes: something edible, or something jokey. Of course, what we all want is a bottle of booze, but that could be a bit risky in a work setting.
Chocolates are always a safe bet, and we’d recommend a Christmas Chocolate Box, £4.99. A selection of different chocolates all elegantly finished with a festive flourish, who could turn their nose up at that?
If route two is more your bag, why not go for something like these fun Face Mats, £2.99, destined to create hours of office selfie taking fun.
Your New In Laws
The first time you spend Christmas with your new In Laws is always nerve wracking, and you absolutely can't turn up empty handed.
This is a tough one, because you want to impress them without coming across too over the top. How about this Winter Reed Diffuser, £2.99? The sweet, festive fragrance will linger in their home long after you’ve left, reminding them of their perfect new son or daughter-in-law.
Mum who doesn’t want any thing
Everyone’s mum says this every year, right? “Oh don’t get me anything dear, I don’t need anything!” – but we all know that’s nonsense and she’d be devastated if we turned up on the big day empty handed, hoping for turkey. Keep her comfy and cosy in these ultra-snug fleece lined slippers, £5.99.
Your Sister-In-Law on a diet
She’s made it very clear that booze and chocolate is off the agenda for her this festive season.
She is desperate to keep on track so her usual gift of a magnum of Prosecco and HUGE box of chocs just won’t do, so what do you buy the newly committed fitness freak? Try this trendy looking marble effect water bottle, £5.99.
She’ll thank you for not compromising her diet and think of you everytime she glugs her water in spin class.
Your best friend’s new boyfriend
It’s your friend’s annual Christmas Eve get together, with the traditional Secret Santa.
You’re pumped, but there’s a problem. You’ve been given ‘Joe’ to buy for. You don’t know Joe. You’ve never met him. He’s Caroline’s new bloke and he’s never met the gang before.
It’s a tough one, you want to make him feel welcome, but you can’t go over the top and embarrass him.
The answer? A Goose Island IPA gift pack, £9.99. A few beers will help the situation for sure.
The couple who love their cocktails
Cocktails are the new Prosecco and everyone’s at it.
Even your mates, Ben and Alice. They’ve invited you round for an evening of festive nibbles and their homemade cocktails.
It seems wrong to bring wine and you can’t turn up empty handed, so what do you bring? We recommend this Salted caramel vodka , £9.99 – let them show you what you can do with it.
Your grumpy dad
It’s a dad’s prerogative to fall asleep in front of the telly frequently throughout the festive season.
Perk him up with some well needed Christmas cheer, like this Whiskey Gift box, £12.99. He’ll certainly crack a smile, and he might even help with the washing up!
