SUPER STOCKING STUFFERS AND SECRET SANTA SUCCESS | NORTHLANDS
Lifestyle12 December 2024
Amazing things can come in small packages and that’s where Secret Santa and Stocking Stuffer gifts can really sparkle this season.
Whether you’re looking for the most steal-worthy Secret Santa gift or one tailored to your target, Northlands has you covered. Here are my top tips for amazing Secret Santa gifts.
Budget
The budget probably seems really small. But, with a little creativity, you’ll be surprised what you can get. Look for minis, dupes and sales to get the most for your money and keep in mind the fun – not the funds – is what makes Secret Santa great.
Fun – but not too fun
Especially for workplace Secret Santa gifts, err on the side of caution when it comes to gifts that could land a little different from how you intended. Doing Secret Santa with your siblings? No holds barred!
Undercover gifter
For added fun, wrap your gift to look like something else or package a tiny gift into a huge box (or seven). Keep your secrets right down to the name tag by printing a label, asking a friend to write it or even scrawling it with your non-dominant hand. Then sneak in, drop your gift and get out of there!
I love Christmas stockings and am not too proud to fill my own stocking too. If you’re the Christmas creator in your house, make sure you look out for little treats for yourself – at the end of all your hard work, you’ll more than deserve it.
Sparkling stockings are a checklist for me – it’s a recipe for success!
- Something tasty – from marshmallow Santas for the kids to luxury dark chocolate for the adults, every stocking is better with a sweet treat.
- Minis – cute and functional and perfect for summer travel. The other great thing about minis? Amazing products at small prices.
- Stationery – pens, small notebooks, bookmarks, booklights and more!
- Practically perfect – the perfect spot for a lens cloth or cleaner, a pair of quirky socks, hair accessories or a kitchen tool for your foodie friend.
- Vouchers or giftcards – a free coffee to look forward to – or a great spot to put a higher value voucher for their favourite store
- Full of fun – novelties, trivia, card games or even a handwritten joke extend the fun.
Small can be mighty! So, whether you’re filling stockings or going on a Secret Santa mission, Northland’s stores will have you and your recipients smiling this season. Merry Christmas!
