If you work in an office, there's a strong chance that you'll be somebody's Secret Santa this Christmas. You know the drill: you pull a name out of a hat, and then you have to buy that person a present within the given budget.
This is great fun (after all, you get a gift out of it as well) but it can be a big source of stress, especially if you don't know your co-workers all that well. It's easy to shop for your partner/children/parents because you're (hopefully) familiar with their hobbies and interests, but unless you're actually friends with the other people in your office, you may well find yourself completely stumped when it comes to Secret Santa.
Luckily for you, the Gadget Inspector gang are on hand to give you a little bit of inspiration. Even if you know next to nothing about your co-workers, we're sure to have a whole bunch of
Secret Santa presents that will pull you through. Check these out...
For the smartphone addict...
£5 Budget: Try these
Smartphone Gloves, which keep you toasty while still allowing you to operate a touch screen!
For the weekend warrior...
For the colleague who never stops eating...
£5 Budget: Give your hungry pal a
Superman Sandwich Tin and ensure that their packed lunch is always safely guarded!
£10 Budget: A
Wild Dining plate will allow your co-worker to have fun while they munch their lunch!
For the caffeine addict...
This
Take a Break Mug is sure to be a whole lot snazzier than whatever your jittery friend is currently sipping their coffee from.
For the paperwork-pusher...
£5 Budget: If you're shopping for someone who's trapped under a pile of paperwork, a Micro Tape Sticker Dispenser will make those endless documents a little more eye-catching!
£10 Budget: Alternatively, this
Bunny Stapler may go some way to brightening up their desk.
For the person who's constantly checking Facebook...

Thinking about Christmas presents and stocking fillers for the family and friends now that Christmas isn't too far away? We have the perfect puzzles for anyone who loves a challenge and has the patience of a saint! Introducing our maze puzzles, do you think you have the skills to complete them?
First up is the Mini Maze Ball, which is perfect for taking anywhere with you as it is mini! Pop it into your bag or try and solve it in the car, so you can always play whilst on the go. You have to steer the ball bearing through the layered maze, through all the twists and turns that you stumble upon. There are also easier missions for you to take, if you start further along the maze at a different bay, it is a lot easier to complete. If you prefer things to be on a bigger scale, then the Maze Ball is an absolute must have! This is just like the Mini Maze Ball but on a larger scale. You steer the ball bearing through the layered maze to the finish.
The Maze Racer is a great maze puzzle if you want to time your mission, and compete against yourself and other friends. This maze is slightly different as you steer the ball bearing around the race track holding onto the steering wheel! This maze even has a LCD display that shows your time and fastest maze time - so competing against family and friends just got so much easier. To add to the tension, this maze has sound effects, and comes in two options of colours.
You can see from the pictures just how well designed the mazes are and how challenging they can be, making these the perfect Christmas gifts, and Christmas stocking fillers.
