SECRET SANTA
Christmas is fast approaching and with it the workplace Christmas party
and Secret Santa. It can be difficult finding the perfect present

you are a few suggestions. All for under £25.
1

Under The Desk Dual
Headphone Hanger...
£13.59
Equally useful for the very messy, who
struggle to find things amidst all their
clutter, and the very tidy, who like to
maintain a clear desk policy at all times,
this aluminium hanger is the perfect
place to store a headset. It fixes to the
underside of a desk using the supplied
3M adhesive tape and can hold two
headsets.

FIDO U2F Security Key by
Yubico...
£18
This two-factor authentication security
key is the ideal present for someone
who worries about getting hacked. It
plugs into a USB port and, at the press
of a button, authenticates the user for
services such as Google, Facebook and
Dropbox. Hackers can’t get into the
user’s accounts, because even if they
have the right passwords, they still need
the physical device for access.
4
KeepCup...
from £10
The KeepCup reusable cup is an eco-
friendly alternative to disposable paper
cups for the coffee-lovers on your team.
Designed to be handed to the barista
when you order your morning shot, the
KeepCup comes in 8oz, 12oz and 16oz
versions in a variety of colours. There’s
a design for everyone (even Star Wars
fans!).
5
LIFE ELIXIRS Clarity & Sleep
Wellbeing Duo...
£22
We all work with someone who could
benefit from these miniature bath
and shower elixirs. Clarity is claimed
to sharpen concentration through an
invigorating blend of bitter orange,
cardamom and ginger, while Sleep
is specially formulated to encourage
deep sleep through a relaxing blend of
patchouli, elemi and palmarosa.
6
One-cup teaiere...
£20
Like a cafetiere, but for loose leaf tea,
this teapot makes just the right amount
of tea for one cup. Because tea leaves
are not left stewing, they do not become
bitter and can be re-used when you
fancy a second cup. The one-cup ‘teaiere’
is made from durable, dishwasher-safe
borosilicate glass and incorporates a
100% filter for a clear infusion.
7
Quiet Rebellion Christmas socks...
from £12 a pair
Perfect for colleagues with hidden depths
– or secret lives – Quiet Rebellion socks
look professional on the outside, but
inside are anything but. Hidden inside
the shoe, these outwardly sober socks
feature a variety of vibrant, colourful
Tayla’s Secret Santa Gift Guide
designs including festive stag, penguin
and polar bear prints. Quiet Rebellion
socks are made from luxury combed-
cotton with hand-linked seams and
reinforced heels and are available in
pairs or packs of three, six, twelve or
eighteen.

Investment in solar from TRINE...
from £25
TRINE is the place to go for a gift
that keeps giving. The crowdfunding
platform funds a variety of solar energy
projects in Africa, giving businesses and
consumers in off-grid areas access to
clean, renewable energy. This Christmas,
why not buy a gift card for a minimum
of
€
25 that your Secret Santa nominee
can invest in the solar campaign of
their choice. Once a campaign is fully
funded, TRINE loans the money to its
solar partner in Africa, which buys and
installs the solar panels and collects
micro-payments from users.
If and when the loan is repaid,
investors get their money back
plus a return of up to 6% that
they can withdraw or reinvest.
