What's a good gift for secret santa?
If they love tea, get them one of those miniature glass teapots that are used for the "blooming" teas! I got that as a gift recently and I'm obsessed with it… And I don't even like tea!
What is the price limit? A book if it's a guy perhaps. Are those comedies movies or tv series? Maybe a collection of videos if they don't cost too much. LEGO's always has new things out for the holidays.
I liked the first answer the other person gave you. That sounds cool and I'm a tea drinker. Or you can always put together a gift bag/basket of a nice bag of fresh ground coffee, the expensive Columbian finely ground kind with a coffee mug and a box of brownie mix or some other coffee cake mix. Wrap it up real pretty. The key it the wrapping; they'll see you took the time and know that whatever you got them, you took the time as well.
