For her
A good Secret Santa gift for a woman you do not know well is something that feels like a treat without being too personal. Think of the small luxuries people enjoy but rarely buy: a candle for a long evening, a notebook that is almost too nice to write in, a hand cream that lives in a coat pocket all winter. These ideas suit a colleague, a friend's partner or a relative you see once a year. None of them needs to know her size or her taste in clothes, and every one can be wrapped in minutes. Add a line on the tag and it becomes a gift that feels chosen.
