It’s true to say that I’m not really any good at keeping secrets.

I mean, if it’s an important or serious secret, I wouldn’t tell, but with little, everyday gossip, I’m useless. Which is why I inevitably end up ruining all of the Secret Santa circles I’m a part of. However, this year Ness (our lovely wholesale office pigeon) has cleverly organised a way to prevent any chatty little pigeons from ruining the surprise of the Pidge gift-giving… a SECRET Secret Santa! Each person buys a gift that has to be appropriate for anybody, because we won’t know who’s getting it. Then, at our Christmas party, all the presents get divvied up and everybody gets a lovely little unexpected treat!

The only difficulty with this cunning plan is that the process of buying a universally appealing present can be troublesome… It must be unisex, inexpensive, fun and interesting. I know that a lot of you will be in this Kris Kringle conundrum right now as well, so here’s a useful list of little gifts under $20 to make your Christmas shopping a little less bewildering:

Livework 2010 diaries, $16

Have You Met Miss Jones acorn box, $14

KeepCups, $15 each

Ice-cream pens, $8 each

Diana Cable Release Adaptor, $20

Happy Secret Santa-ing!
