Quick fire FAQs: Secret Santa Experiences 

Can you really get experiences for under £10? 

Yes! From darts to cathedral tours, there are plenty of budget friendly options that beat another novelty mug or ill placed gag gift. 

What makes experiences better than “things”? 

They create memories, not clutter. No regifting, no awkward fake smiles, just genuine fun. 

Are these easy to book? 

Absolutely. Our vouchers are flexible, instantly delivered and can be exchanged if needed. 

Will these work for people I don’t know well? 

Yes. You do not need to know if Steve from Finance is really a Lambrini girl at heart. Experiences are universal so no guesswork about hobbies or favourite chocolates. 

The Gift Giving Hero Moves 

 Secret Santa doesn’t have to be stressful (or boring). With these budget friendly experiences, you’ll be the talk of the office for all the right reasons and your gift won’t end up in the recycling bin. 

Secret Santa can be a minefield and here’s how to make sure you nail it every time: 

Stick to budget  
No one likes the person who splashes out £50 in a £10 swap. Keep it fair, keep it fun. 

Avoid anything too personal  
No aftershave, no perfume, no “funny” underwear. Awkward silences avoided. 

Keep it light and fun  
This isn’t the Oscars. Funny, quirky, or practical gifts always land better than serious ones. 

Think experiences, not clutter  
A gift they can do (like paintball or a tasting session) will always beat another plant gasping for water! 

Play it safe if you don’t know them well  
Food, drink, or a flexible experience voucher = no wrong moves. 

Browse all our Secret Santa experiences and make your office swap unforgettable. These work as stocking fillers, office parties, or last-minute festive gifts!
