How to avoid 'Secret Santa' shame with the perfect present

It’s fast approaching that dreaded time of year when you trade presents with someone you barely know across the office - Secret Santa time.

Whether you hate it because you always receive inappropriate presents or because you never have any idea what to buy, a new tool will solve the problem, providing a selection of desirable presents how ever small your budget is.

A recent appeal by cashback and voucher code site Quidco found the following bizarre examples of Secret Santa presents:

• Rubber gloves
• A birthday card
• A whip and handcuffs
• A she wee (for peeing standing up)
• A pineapple
• An easter egg
• A chest wig
• A rock with a smiley face drawn on

Whether the budget is set at under a fiver, over a tenner or somewhere between the two, Quidco’s gift finder, which is part of a Christmas book on quidco.com, presents you with a selection of gifts which are unoffensive and desirable and all come with cashback. There is also a lucky dip option.

Hannah Green at Quidco said, “The tradition of Secret Santa divides opinion and despite the small budget, some people spend a lot of time and effort finding the perfect gift. Quidco’s gift finder tool eliminates this process by choosing your gift in only a few clicks of the mouse. All gifts come with cashback – some as much as 17.5% - allowing people to cheat by spending less than they need to!”

Quidco, the UK’s biggest cashback and voucher code site, has offers from almost 2,800 retailers, many of which let shoppers use cashback offers and vouchers codes on the same purchase. This ensures Quidco members make a greater saving than they would anywhere else.
