Seven Alternative Secret Santa Gift Ideas 2021
Every office has that one person who’s maybe a little bit...unusual. The one with a desk covered in crystals who can tell you where Mercury is at any given time (if your workplace doesn’t have one, it’s probably you!).

With Christmas approaching, you might have drawn this person in the office Secret Santa - or you might just want a Christmas present idea that’s a bit off the beaten track. Or you might want to make sure whoever picked your name has some ideas! Here are our top seven Secret Santa gift ideas for the alternative person in the group. All less than £15, so just right for an unusual gift or alternative stocking filler.
Heart Shaped Stones
Quartz and Obsidian have plenty of esoteric meaning and uses, but even apart from all of that, they’re great to sit and rub between your fingers to help relax. Running your finger over its smooth surface can help keep you grounded and present in the moment.
Incense burner
We all love a nice smell and these incense burners will make an impression while they spread their delicate fragrance. You can watch the smoke flow like water down the pebbles, slowly meandering and swirling into the pull. Great to help wind down and relax after a long day’s work.
Cauldron Plant Pots
These would be great for growing a succulent or plant in an office. Made from black terracotta with a silver design on the front, these cute plant pots are shaped like a classic witch’s cauldron. Many studies have shown the benefits of plants in an office environment, or these would be great at home too. As well as a decorative piece, they would look great on an altar for a practicing witch.
Zodiac Necklace
If you know your friend’s astrological sign, these necklaces would make an adorable gift. Each one has the traditional symbol for the sign on a chain, a delightful gift for anyone with even a passing interest in astrology.
Palmistry Hand
This would make a beautiful gift for someone with any interest in the occult, esoteric or just the unusual. Based on a traditional design, these have been reimagined with contemporary styling. Available in black or white, they show the major lines in palmistry. They’d make a great decorative piece or would be a useful holder for jewellery, trinkets or even to hold business cards.
Soap Flower Bouquet
A bouquet of flowers is a lovely gift - until they wither and die in front of your very eyes. These unique flowers are made of fine soap. Add a few petals to your bath and watch them dissolve. An excellent gift for anyone who likes to relax and wind down in a bath. They look just like real flowers but are far more useful. They’re also more environmentally friendly than having cut flowers shipped by air from the other side of the world.
Tarot Reading
Everyone has questions and issues they want to address in their lives. Give someone the gift of insight with a full length tarot reading. They can send a question and we’ll reply with the answer the cards give. Readings are done in writing and sent over email so they can digest it at their own pace.
