Secret Santa Made Easy

The time has come, it’s mid-November, and the dreaded Secret Santa email has been sent out. You’re positive that the draw was rigged, as you were left with that guy you once smiled at in the corridor, whom you don’t even know, let alone have any idea what to buy for. But alas, do not worry, we are your saviours this festive season.

You’re a proud individual and do not want to give a shoddy gift, we get it, but the eureka moment on what un-crappy present to purchase, for no more than a tenner, can be a struggle to muster up. Here are 10 gifts we at Neuroworx would be delighted to receive (and purchase, given their wallet friendly price tag).
