21 Fun Secret Santa Gifts Under $40
Hi! Welcome to Seek Sophie
We're obsessed with finding the best local guides and experiences. We only recommend what we love and hope you love them too.

Choosing a great Secret Santa gift has always been challenging for us. It's usually on a tight budget + we know hardly anything about the recipient! We always prefer gifting gift experiences as they're more meaningful and fun! Here are some cool gift experiences under $40 that anyone would love. All gift experiences have a 1-year expiry so your recipient can redeem them stress-free 🤩

Want more? You can also see hundreds of cool gift experiences on our Gifts page here :)
