Secret Santa gift ideas for when you don’t know what to buy

You’ve drawn a name, there’s a £10 limit, and you don’t know the person well enough to pick something they’ll keep. Most of us end up buying another mug or a novelty gift that ends up in a drawer by January.

A personalised affirmation track is 20 affirmations written for one person and emailed to them on the day of your Secret Santa. A 5 minute track is £7 and a 10 minute track is £9, and there’s nothing to wrap or carry in. Let them choose their own focus or choose everything for them.

A thoughtful Secret Santa gift under £10

You don’t need to know the person well. Choose the option where they pick for themselves, and on the day they choose what they’d like the track to help with, whether that’s sleep, confidence, stress or something else, along with the sound and the voice.

They get a downloadable audio track and the written affirmations by email. They keep the track, and they can listen on the way to work, before a big day or as they fall asleep. What they choose stays private to them, so nobody else in the office sees it.

Send a Secret Santa gift

If you don’t know them well, choose the length and write a short message, and they’ll pick their own focus. If you do know what they need to hear, you can choose everything yourself.

Let them choose Choose everything for them

Your name is optional, so it can stay a secret. Pick the day of your Secret Santa and it arrives that morning.

Secret Santa gifts for every budget

Members get 30% off every gift, which brings a 5 minute track to £4.90, so it fits a £5 Secret Santa too.

Secret Santa gift ideas for everyone

Secret Santa gifts for colleagues

Most of us end up buying a colleague a novelty mug or a box of chocolates, because we don’t know them well enough to pick anything else. Let them choose their own focus, and the track is written for them, about whatever they’d like more of.

The easiest option: let them choose their own focus area

Secret Santa gifts for her

If you know she’s been stretched this year, a track about confidence at work, sleep or making time for herself is a gift she’ll actually use.

Focus areas people often choose for her: Confidence & self-esteem, or Sleep

Secret Santa gifts for him

Plenty of men won’t talk about stress or sleep, but they will put headphones in. A track works quietly, and nobody else needs to know what it’s about.

Focus areas people often choose for him: Stress & anxiety relief, or Motivation

For a family or friends Secret Santa

When you know the person well, you can choose everything yourself, from the focus to the sound behind the voice, and write them a message to go with it.

Focus areas people often choose: Gratitude & self-love, or Health & vitality

For someone who’s had a hard year

After a loss, a break-up or a year that didn’t go to plan, a track gives them kind words to hear every day, from someone who clearly cares.

A focus area that often helps: Grief, heartbreak & letting go

For the person who has everything

Another candle or gift set is easy to forget. A track is written for them, so it can’t be the same as anything else they own.

Focus areas people often choose: Motivation, or Confidence & self-esteem

How it works when your office swaps presents in person

Write a card saying a gift is waiting in their inbox, and set the delivery date to the day of the swap. They open the card with everyone else, and they listen to the track later on their own, which suits a gift that’s more personal than most.

Last minute Secret Santa gifts

Because the gift arrives by email, it’s never too late. A track for today usually arrives within minutes, so you can order on the morning of the party and it still reaches them in time.

Common questions

Is it a good Secret Santa gift for work?

Yes. It fits a £10 budget, there’s nothing to wrap or carry in, and it works for someone you don’t know well because they can choose their own focus. What they choose stays private, so nobody else in the office sees it.

Can I keep it a secret?

Yes. Your name is optional when you order, so you can leave it blank or write ‘Your Secret Santa’, and they won’t know who it’s from.

How much does it cost?

A 5 minute track is £7 and a 10 minute track is £9, so both fit a £10 limit. A 30 minute track is £13, a 60 minute track is £16, and a 4 hour track that plays through the night is £25. Members get 30% off every gift, which brings a 5 minute track to £4.90.

Can it arrive on the day of the Secret Santa?

Yes. You pick the delivery date when you order, and it arrives by email that morning. If you choose today, it usually arrives within minutes.

What if my office opens presents together?

Write a card saying a gift is waiting in their inbox, and set the delivery date to the day of the swap. They open the card with everyone else and listen to the track later on their own.

What does the person receive?

An email with a downloadable audio track of 20 affirmations written for them, set over a background sound, plus the written affirmations so they can read them too. They keep the track and can listen as often as they like.
