What are good secret Santa gifts for guys? £5 / £10 / £20 budget gift guide for men
Working for myself, I don’t have to do secret Santa, and with working from home being much more common, many people may be able to duck out of it this year.
For those of you that do have to buy a gift for a colleague, this list may help. My gender-specific title is mainly because I am more likely to get some traffic from a targetted term, and I don’t have as much insight into a woman’s tastes! Most of these should work for everyone though.

This is good for any PC gamer you may want to buy a gift for. It is a bit boring with no design, but everything else costs more.

Beer Glass
I have already covered beer glasses in my beer guide, but it is a good suggestion for secret Santa too. Tiny Rebel has two options on Amazon, or you could buy direct from many breweries.
The Beer Hawk option gives you 5-beers and glass for around £17, which is a bargain.
£20 to £30

Power Bank
It may seem boring but I think everyone would appreciate a power bank. They are always handy.
The Anker one I list is 10000mAh but also has 20W power delivery which is much faster charging than many others.
Alternatively, if you are happy with a noname brand, the Pxwaxpy Power Bank has three times the capacity, faster 25W charging and wireless charging.
