    Bump. Doing this this year too! Home Bargains have actually got good stuff for girls. I think I'm going to give my friend face masks, big bar of chocolate, bath stuff & a manicure set :)

    A starbucks coffee mug with 6 individual coffees in canada is $12.00 maybe under 10 pounds in the uk. Or a teg mug with a box of nice tea.

    i've just been secret santa shopping myself. assuming the gifts are to be exchanged at a team/company party at which some level of alcohol will be consumed, i always favour something cute and silly that can be worn for the rest of the evening :) cheap feather boas have been successful in the past and this year i think i'm settling on one of the little burlesque style mini top hat (Amazon have some cheap ones) but there are lots of ideas in the hats arena. i nearly got a great looking fez though :)

    (BTW: i work in software and am buying for someone in a mainly male dept. strangely, the silly female fripperies still go down very well :D )

    A silly coffee mug filled with home made cookies or chocolates? A comic desk calendar? A "stress relief" ball/head/pillow?

    One of the cutest gifts I ever got was a package of batteries. In fine print underneath, it said "gift not included"

    a tea defuser and loose tea is always a great hit I think and you should be able to find something for around that...
