Christmas gift ideas 2023: Secret Santa and Santarina, this is the article you need

It's Secret Santa season!

You clicked on this because you are searching for a Secret Santa gift for Christmas. It could be for that friend you're very fond of but only meet once every year, the one friend in the group you're weird with, or even your ride-or-die squad. With majority of us back in the office, it's also highly likely that you're looking for a Secret Santa gift for your colleague.

Depending on the situation (and your giftee), you don't want the gift to make you look like a penny-pincher, but at the same time, you don't want to break the bank trying to impress your Secret Santee – which, honestly, you might not always be particularly close to.

We've got a list of gifts here that not only look generous but are perfect for gifting without you digging deep into your bank vault. Nothing is priced more than S$100, arranged from the cheapest to the most expensive.

Unless, of course, you've gotten your bestie as your Secret Santa recipient, then by all means, break that piggy bank (we'll include a section for that too!)

Let's get Secret Santee shopping!
