Secret Santa ideas

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...
