12 Secret Santa Gifts Under $25
The short answer
In gift studies, givers expected a pricier gift to earn more thanks, yet the people receiving gifts did not feel any more grateful when a gift cost more. So a small Secret Santa gift can land just as well as a big one. It only has to feel chosen, and these little ideas make that easy.

Questions and answers
Which of these give a coworker who likes hosting something to play with a roomful of friends?
With the Spin Zone party game, players take turns giving the wheel a spin and react to wherever it lands, so a quiet guest who skips strategy nights still joins in. With the Spin Master mystery game, players question each other around the table and try to catch who is lying, which hands the colleague who reads a room well an evening of suspicion to steer.
Is there anything here for a coworker in a small apartment?
For a houseplant lover short on floor space, the corner shelf unit tucks into an unused corner and holds pots, paperbacks and small keepsakes on display, so the windowsill and nightstand no longer carry every plant and book, and a trailing ivy can spill from the upper shelf over a row of favorite novels.
