We always try to think big, or unique. Well, why not think practical! Get them something practical that you know they'll use. It might not be sexy, and it might be downright boring - but I guarantee they will love it!
Years ago a friend of mine had a secret Santa/white elephant holiday party. You know how it works - everybody brings a gift and everybody leaves with a different gift. A lot of people go for the small packages or boxes - perhaps because of the old adage "big things come in small packages." My friend went for the huge, poorly wrapped package. She said it was one of the best gifts EVER - 48 rolls of toilet paper!!
Everyone thought it was hilarious, but she said "I've never come close to getting secret Santa gift as amazing and practical as that, and I have no idea why nobody tried to take it from me - unless they somehow knew I'd physically fight them over it, because I would have!"
There are things we need that sometimes we don't just don't want to buy - necessities, and "have to buys" are just no fun. We always need them, so maybe it's just nicer if someone else buys them for us once in a while, right? Saves us a little money, time, and yes - they're practical!
People online are talking about the most UNDERRATED Christmas gifts they've received, and would like themselves, and there's a lot of practical, useful stuff on it.
Here are some great - yet still very unique - gift ideas. Maybe try one at your secret Santa. And definitely make sure you pick the awkward looking gift!

We love these, but don't always want to splurge. So let mom and dad, or your bestie get them for you!
