I am struggling for ideas so know you amazing women will be able to help!!

I have to get a $5 secret santa present for work - $5 is nothing but I really want to try and find something that isn't tacky

Any bright ideas?

TIA!!

What about one of the little bottles of wine or bubbly from the supermarket?

Scorched almonds hehe.

Or something homemade. Bath salts, bath bombs, baking etc

Buy a cool mug and put some baking in it wrapped in cellophane.

My first instinct was to say a block of chocolate (was recently given a block of Lindt Intense Mint which is more expensive than the likes of Cadbury or Whittakers so a little bit more 'special' I guess)

Another thought, a small photo frame...

Or a magazine - guess this would only be good if you've been given a person to buy for as opposed to a lucky dip type situation.

Or try One Dollar, it's a one day sale website and has things for $1!! You would have to consider postage costs though

Or could you bake a cake, make biscuits/snowballs/sweets etc??

Harvey Normans recently had LCD photoframe key rings for $5 (you know those ones you normally plug in and it plays all your pics...) we got one of those for a secret santa. You just plug it into your comp and upload the pics.

Oooh, great idea!

For my last $5 one I got someone a $5 Subway giftcard.
