For the name you drew.
From the House
Secret Santa runs on a chit and a cap. Someone folds the names, you draw one, and the group fixes a budget, usually ₹500, ₹1,000 or ₹1,500. The hard part is not the money. It is buying something personal for a colleague you know mostly from meetings. This page of Secret Santa gift ideas is sorted by cap, and almost everything on it is unsized, so nothing depends on knowing her wrist or his shirt size. The bangles are the exception, and they are marked.
Quick answer: Secret Santa gifts handmade in India, sorted by office cap. Under ₹1,000: silk tassel bag charms at ₹599 and fabric earrings at ₹999. Under ₹1,500: hand block-printed diaries and hand-carved marble coasters at ₹1,499, a pair of ceramic mugs at ₹1,299. Under ₹2,000: hand-painted Saanjh cups for six at ₹1,899. Every piece is wrapped with the recipient's name and a note in your words, or no note, if the rules say anonymous. Dispatched within 2–4 business days, delivered in 5–10 business days anywhere in India; delivery is complimentary from ₹999.
The silk tassel bag charms at ₹599 are the cheapest thing we make and the easiest to get right, because they go on a bag she already carries. The pearls are glass beads and the coins are gold-toned, not silver, and we would rather you knew. The four fabric earrings at ₹999, Ibrik Accents, Ruby Drops, Kamal Teal and Blush Mirage, exist in fifteen pairs each, which matters when three people in one office draw names and shop from the same page. Black Bloom, Kundan Katha and the Navy Tassel pair are also ₹999, as are the Mogra kundan studs, the Riwaayat triangles and the Leher half moons, each one of its colour. For a man, or for anyone whose taste you cannot guess, the Zari Gold dessert spoons, six stainless steel spoons at ₹999, are the answer. The Phool Katha floral bangles, a pair at ₹999, need a size.
A diary is the Secret Santa gift that works across seniority, gender and taste: a hand block-printed cotton cover over 200 unruled pages of recycled paper, 4.5 by 7 inches, ₹1,499, and one of each print, so no two people in the office open the same one. The Table Companions coasters, four hand-carved marble rounds at ₹1,499, and the Morning Haze mugs, a pair at ₹1,299, are the other two that suit a desk you have never seen. The Quiet Table tray at ₹1,199 is for the person who keeps a tidy one. For her: the Fabric Bar Neckpiece at ₹1,499, the jhumkas and floral kundan pairs at ₹1,499, the geometric ghungroo pairs at ₹1,299, a quilted makeup pouch set of three at ₹1,499, which is printed cotton, not block printed, and the Chandni macramé cushion covers, two at ₹1,499. The Lariya leheriya bangles at ₹1,299 need a size.
The Saanjh cups, six hand-painted cups at ₹1,899, are the gift for the colleague who makes the chai, and the one most likely to be in the pantry by January. The chandbalis at ₹1,599, a kundan crescent with ghungroo bells, and the Rangriti mirror-work bangles at ₹1,599, one size per colour, are for the friend at work rather than the acquaintance. The Jaali cushion covers at ₹1,799, the Tulsi Green bowls at ₹1,799, the quilted totes from ₹1,699 and the quilted hair tool bags at ₹1,599 fill out the band.
Makes the chai: the Saanjh cups, or the mugs. Writes everything down: a diary. You have spoken to twice: the coasters or the spoons, useful and not personal. Drew you last year and did well: the marble tray. Is the boss, if the chit says so: the tray or the cups, nothing to wear. Is a man: the diary, the mugs, the coasters, the spoons. The earrings and bangles are not for him, and we would not pretend otherwise.
If the cap is ₹500, nothing here fits, and we would rather say so than sell you a charm and a shortfall. From ₹599 to ₹999 the choice is charms, earrings, spoons and the floral bangles. From ₹1,000 to ₹1,500 it is diaries, coasters, mugs, the tray, the neckpiece, pouch sets and most of the earrings. From ₹1,500 to ₹2,000 it is the Saanjh cups, chandbalis, Rangriti, cushions, bowls and the quilted bags. For Christmas gifts outside an office draw, the wider edit is under Christmas gifts.
