MOMeo Holiday Helper Guide to Shopping for Secret Santa Gifts
Secret Santa Gift for the Office
Forget chocolates or silly gag gfits and give the gift of gourmet! Look for unique combinations of delicious delights that appeal to many palettes (so nothing too spicy or exotic).
Herb Infused Cooking Oils – Scout the gourmet cooking stores with herb infused cooking oils. Note that grapeseed oil has a much higher cooking temperature than everyone’s beloved olive oil.
BBQ Rubs – Most everyone either enjoys barbecuing or eating barbecued food! Our favorite pick is the Williams Sonoma Ultimate Grilling Rub Collection because it includes a little of everything!
Balsamic Vinegar Reduction – Think Balsamic vinegar, only yummier! Balsamic Vinegar reductions range from the more traditional to blended flavors, like Fig Strawberry.
Secret Santa Gift for the Kids
Many families are opting for Secret Santa gift exchanges for their extended families and including the kids instead of getting something for everyone. The trouble is finding a Secret Santa gift that works for multiple ages!
Blokus – Fun for all ages! Blokus is a title game where the objective is to get rid of the most tiles while blocking your opponents!
Lego – No one ever outgrows Lego (even big kids). We love the Pick a Brick or Basic sets because they allow for the most flexible play!
Bananagrams – Think Scrabble without borders! It’s a word play game that doesn’t require pencil, paper or even a board!
Qwirkle – Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of matching colors and shapes! This game requires tactical thinking to build your rows and columns and outmaneuver your opponents!
Secret Santa Gift for Friends
Getting together with your girlfriends for a Secret Santa girls’ night out? Well, girlfriend, have we got gift ideas for you – adhering to the three main food groups of girlfriend favorites: chocolate, spa and chick flicks!
Godiva Chocolates – Simply fabulous. Enough said.
Bliss Spa Products – No time to visit the famed New York City spa? Thank goodness you can get your girlfriends Bliss in a bottle. Our favorites are the Lemon + Sage Body Scrub and the Super Minty Soap ‘n Scrub!
Classic Movies – It’s amazing that not everyone has seen Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Casablanca or Gone with the Wind, but it’s true. Pick your favorite classic to share with your girlfriends!
Secret Santa Gift for Him
What do you get for the Dad, Uncle or Grandpa on your Secret Santa list? Go for all the traditional favorites!
Pancake Accessories – If you know your Secret Santa is also Chef Dad, you can’t go wrong with a pancake pen and pancake molds from Williams Sonoma!
Microbrewed Beer – Don’t sure what his favorite brew is? Most microbreweries sell sampler packs!
True Stories – Nothing grips a reader like a true story and if you are looking for him, there are plenty of titles out there from true accounts of the great wars to surfer tales!
Secret Santa Gift for Her
Mom, Grandma and your Great Aunt Stella will appreciate these little gems from their Secret Santa!
Tea with Pedigree – Check out your local gourmet tea shop for a wide variety of loose and imported teas or try our favorites Forte and Mighty Leaf!
Toasty Tootsies – Give the gift that will warm their hearts and their toes…a Warming Booties by Warm Buddy!
