Secret Santa Gifts Under $20 That Are Actually Australian Made
The office Secret Santa has one rule everybody follows: keep it under $20. And that is exactly why so many Kris Kringle gifts end up in a drawer by Boxing Day. Novelty mugs, scented candles, something plastic from overseas.
There is a better way to spend twenty dollars. Give something people actually use, that suits almost anyone, and that was made here in Australia.
Why a stubby holder works for Secret Santa
When you draw a name you barely know, you need a gift that does not depend on knowing them well. A stubby holder is one of the few presents that works for nearly everyone at the work barbecue, whether they drink beer, cider, soft drink or sparkling water. It gets used all summer, it lives in the car or the esky, and it is the kind of thing people hang on to for years.
Ours are made from neoprene in Melbourne, and have been since 1972. Every one is certified Australian Made, which is a rare thing to find for under $20.
Five Secret Santa ideas, all under $20
1. A single stubby holder, $10
