Christmas is fast approaching and your wallet is looking a little thin. You have a limited number of days and limited funds to get the dreaded Secret Santa gift for your co-worker. Have no idea what to get Jo from Accounts because you've only spoken to her twice?! Don't worry, we've got you covered. Take a look at these 10 original ideas under £5 to help you out:
1) Face Mats
On those days where a deadline is fast approaching and the atmosphere is tense, a funny face mat is definitely needed. These hilarious disguises are a must have to keep your co-worker smiling.
2) Ice Tankard
For Dave, who is always at the after work drinks or spends his Monday talking about the weekend antics. He will surely appreciate the Ice Tankard which keeps drinks nice and cold with no need to dilute drinks with ice.
3) Slow Cooked Bacon Jam with Chipotle
He walks in every morning and devours a bacon roll so why not mix it up for Sam with this slow cooked bacon jam with chipotle. Perfect with pizza or to spice up their spaghetti bolognese, it's the best gift for bacon lovers.
4) Ladybird Books for Grown Ups
There's literally a Ladybird Book for every type of grown up! Whether it's Lucy who is obsessed with The Walking Dead and preparing for the zombie apocalypse or Jack who has recently grown a handle bar moustache and loves tasting craft beer.

7) Emoji Get The Hint Labels
The Emojinal Get The Hint Labels is the perfect gift for the co-worker that manages to sneak these little guys into every email. Let them get expressive in a playful way when commenting on pieces of work.
8) The Mindfulness Colouring Book

9) Christmas Mini Selection
It may be predictable but delicious chocolates are a favourite with most in the office (apart from super healthy Helen - abort mission, she won't appreciate these!). Hotel Chocolat provide lots of mini sweet treats in pretty packages.
10) Scratch Card
Feeling lucky? Give Tom from HR a scratch card and since he's such a nice guy hopefully he'll share his winnings!
