Some Secret Santa groups set the limit at £20, which gives you room to buy something a little better than the basics. The best choices at this price are still easy to like: a good box of chocolates, a hot drink to try, a puzzle book or a funny read.

Everything here costs between £13.99 and £17.95. Four of the gifts are Hotel Chocolat hot chocolate sachets in classic, orange, walnut and chilli flavours, and two are chocolate boxes. There is also a Murdoku puzzle book, an Alexei Sayle read, a Harry Potter sticker book and a Lonely Planet Kids hardback. Prices were checked on 13 October 2026 and can change.

Questions people ask

What is a good Secret Santa gift under £20?

A box of hot chocolate sachets, a good chocolate gift or a puzzle book all work. Pick something the recipient can use without needing to know their taste.

Should I spend the full £20?

Not necessarily. A thoughtful £14 gift is better than an expensive one that does not suit the person. Keep within the limit and match the gift to what you know about them.

Are hot chocolate sachets a good Secret Santa gift?

Yes. They are easy to give, suit most people and the flavours give a little variety. Check for allergies if you know them.
