Christmas - the most magical time of the year - can never be complete without some sort of gift exchange. You know what they say: It’s not just about what gift you give, but how you give it, too. Sure, you can always store the gifts beneath a fabulous Christmas tree, but planning a holiday gift exchange, on the other hand, might be even more exciting. 

Secret Santa tends to be the most popular game during Christmas time among family members, friends, or office parties, since it is super easy to play. The host establishes a starting or maximum budget (think: under $50 or $100 gifts), puts everyone’s names in a hat or bowl, and has each person pick their gift recipient at random. 

The hardest part is, as you might guess, finding the perfect Secret Santa gift for someone you’ve chosen (because knowing their identity sometimes just worsens the pressure). To save you from frantically surfing the Internet the night before the Christmas gift exchange and crossing your fingers for something decent that will arrive on time, we’ve compiled a list of Secret Santa gifts that are truly universally adored, practical, and cost under S$100. Plus, they are all available for same-day delivery in Singapore so long as you place your order before 5 PM that day.
