B&M's 10 Best Office Secret Santa Gifts for 2018

When it comes to drawing names for the annual office Secret Santa, it’s understandable that some people get a little nervous. You could come away with the name of a friend you’ve worked with for some years and is the easiest person in the world to buy for, or you may have to ask who your pick actually is - only to find out that they work in a different branch and only started last Monday!

Luckily, here at B&M we stock a wide range of fun, useful and affordable gifts that are bound to enchant - so whoever’s name you pull out, it’ll be easy to make them smile. Read on for our Office Secret Santa Top Picks...

1. For the Insta Model

 

What’s the biggest difference between Kim K and your selfie-loving work bestie? No, it’s not a business empire worth millions of dollars, a chart topping husband or a high-grossing TV show. It’s the much sought-after ring light! Credited with instantly revolutionising the quality of selfies among the rich and famous, these beauties regularly go for a pretty penny.

However, thanks to Byte at B&M, you can grab one in classy gold or slick silver for just a fiver. If you know someone who wants to raise their Instagram game for Christmas, look no further.

2. For the Stressed Colleague

There’s always one workmate who seems to get the brunt of it with the boss and ends up staggering under a mountain of work. Show them that you feel their pain and help them to shake off a little of that frustration by presenting them with a Squeeze and Relieve stress toy.

3. For the Party Host

Know a colleague who throws gold-standard house parties? Want to help them add a little atmosphere with minimal set up time? Grab them a disco bulb projector as their Secret Santa gift in either black or white. It’ll project funky patterns around the walls to get everyone in the Christmas do mood, and at just £2.99, you can furnish them with more party supplies and still stay within your budget!

4. For the Engaged or Newly Wed

Do you work with someone who’s taken the big step this year or is planning it for 2019? Engaged or newly wed colleagues will love this hilarious Couples’ Quiz Game that will test each one’s knowledge of their partner. It’s great for combined stag and hen nights too.

5. For the Desk Drummer

Love them or loathe them - every workplace has one. Show some support for your company’s desk drummer by providing them with their very own kit in either red or blue that will help them hone their talents and save their pencils, mouse, monitor, keyboard and mug from any further damage.

6. For the Extended Visit

There’s always that one colleague who seems to spend more time “seeing a man about a dog” than sitting at their desk. Give them a way to entertain themselves and improve their mind as they do so with this fantastic trivia book.

7. For the Super Hero Obsessive

If your friend at work has never missed a single Marvel or DC movie release, chats non-stop about the comic books and has constant debates about who is the best villain or which hero would totally destroy another, they’re bound to appreciate a gift that comes straight from their favourite universe.

Grab them an awesome Avengers phone case as their Secret Santa - with options to fit the iPhone 6, 7 or 8.

8. For the Phone-tographer

They’ve got the 41 megapixel phone, they’ve got the filters, they’ve got the image editing apps - what more could they possibly need? Well, you might want to start with the Byte 3-in-1 Smartphone Lens Kit - a pack of superb gadgets including a macro lens, a fisheye lens and a wide angle lens - all designed to improve their phone’s picture quality massively for just £4.

9. For the Potterhead

Help them to show their house colours with pride, whatever the occasion. If your colleague loves Harry Potter, this brilliant colour changing glass will be perfect for them. Simply fill it up with a refreshing cold drink to see the colours come to life - as if by magic!

10. For the Musician

 

Anyone in the office who is well-versed in the world of music is bound to enjoy this kazoo-based game that challenges competitors to “Play That Tune”. Whistles come included, so all you need to do is round up a group of participants in fine voice and get playing!

All this and plenty more can currently be found in store at your local B&M store. If you’re still stuck for Secret Santa inspiration, it doesn’t stop there - have a look at our huge selection of Christmas Novelty Gifts online now.
