How to find the right Secret Santa gift
With Secret Santa, sometimes you know the recipient well and sometimes hardly at all. These questions will help you choose:
- How well do you know her? The less you know her, the more neutral the gift should be. Jewellery in a subtle colour or something practical for on the go almost always works.
- What does she enjoy doing? Does she run, go to the gym, travel a lot? A gift that fits into her everyday life will actually get used.
- Does she like fragrances? With skincare products, scent is a matter of taste. Unscented or subtly scented is the safer bet.
- Useful beats dust collector. Little things you reach for every day go down better than decorations nobody needs.
- Stick to the budget. Spending a lot more than agreed puts everyone else in an awkward position.

More little ideas for women
Not everything has to come from our shop. These ideas under €20 also go down well at Secret Santa and can be combined with our products:
- a nice mug with a tea or hot chocolate she hasn't tried yet
- a notebook or a planner for the new year
- cosy socks for chilly office days
- a small plant that needs little care
- a paperback, a puzzle or a card game for cosy evenings
- a voucher for a coffee together: it costs little and gives the gift of time
05
Wrap it nicely and order in good time
Lovely wrapping makes a small gift twice as special. The Beauty Bag is already wrapping in itself: pop in a bracelet and a little something like tea or chocolate, and you've got a Secret Santa gift that will keep being used after it's unwrapped. A handwritten note with a line on why you thought of her makes any gift more personal.
Order in good time: within Germany, delivery usually takes 3 to 5 working days. Allow a little extra time before Christmas and before the Secret Santa party.
