Want : For the younger or more boozey colleague I would suggest making a little coctail kit. A bottle or Irish liquor and Tia Maria makes a 'Baby Velvet'. Aldi sell Ballycastle Irish Country Cream (NOT Baileys, wink wink) at £3.75/70cl, they do sell a not Tia Maria but it isn't on their website so I can't offer a price, but it would bring the total down further. A 35cl bottle of Tia Maria from ASDA is £8.50. By printing off a cocktail recipe and adding a four pack of Christmas shot glasses from Poundland, and you have a festive present that will you know will feel the receiver with festive cheer(s)!

Need : This is what I am doing for my colleagues Secret Santa! The person I work with is a young, geeky male who works shifts so I am getting him a personalised Gameboy style mug, and on the back I am having printed 'Insert Coffee To Start' (I know, I am hilarious!). I am then putting in a bag of fancy shamshy coffee, and some nice biscuits as well, if I am so inclined! A small but useful present!

Wear : My view is we all have heads and we live in England where it's cold, ipso facto hat and scarf! This set of ombré beanie and scarf comes to £11, and it's chic enough to look good from hipsters to gentlemen! It's from ASDA and the items are available separately so could be mixed and matched with gloves or another item.

Read : Ok, so I am taking liberties in this being reading, but it is a book! Adult colouring books are all the rage, and by promoting relaxation and calm they would do even the most David Brent of bosses a bit of good to chill out! I particularly like Johnanna Basford's delicate and grown up style, this is defiantly not your little sisters Noddy colouring book! The 'Artist Editonn, Pull Out and Frame Book' pictures are so pretty the book is designed to be coloured and then framed, much as the title suggests! Add a pack of pretty pens are you are giving a gift that keeps on giving!

That's all for Secret Santa! I still have a few more gift guide instalments up my sleeves, but let me know if there is any specifically you want to see, and what you are making of there gift guides.
