Secret Santa food gifts: butter cookie tins
An edible gift is a safe bet when you don't know someone well. Lowrey butter cookies are handcrafted in New Zealand and come in a gift-ready tin, roughly 20cm across, so there's nothing to wrap.
The Lowrey Matcha Butter Cookies Gift Tin blends New Zealand cultured butter with matcha powder for a smooth green tea flavour, which makes it an easy pick for a tea lover.
For someone who likes something a little less ordinary, the Lowrey Black Sesame Butter Cookies Gift Tin pairs New Zealand cultured butter with black sesame seeds for a roasted, nutty and aromatic flavour.
Candle gifts for Secret Santa
A candle suits almost anyone. Earthy, a Grounding Soy Tin Candle from Bumble & Birdie is a spicy, warm scent with citrus and ozone top notes, benzoin and sandalwood in the middle, and amber, cedar and dark musk to finish. It's hand-poured soy wax in a slick black aluminium tin.
Small beauty and hair care stocking fillers
Be Cool Facial Mist from Bumble & Birdie is a 100ml toner mist made with cucumber and aloe vera plant waters. It's a handy size to tuck into a stocking or a work bag.
For anyone with curls, the NaturalCare Leave-In Conditioner Bar is a solid leave-in conditioner made by the NaturalCare team in Christchurch. It's made with rice protein, cocoa butter and shea butter, it's for all hair types, especially curly hair, and it smells like cinnamon.
Practical Secret Santa gift: a reusable tote
Everyone needs a good bag by the door. The Frankly Cotton Reusable Utility Tote Bag is made from strong 300D fabric with sturdy handles and a slim profile that's easy to carry and store. It's made for everyday errands, shopping and storage, and you can pop other little gifts inside it.
