What Are the Best Secret Santa Gifts Under £20?


Are you stuck with another Secret Santa this year and feeling the pressure to find a really amazing gift - all while sticking to a £20 limit? 

It's easy to fall back on the usual boring suspects like mugs, socks, or chocolates and although these are safe bets, they often lack a personal touch… 

For less than the price of a fancy candle, you can give the gift of an amazing treasure hunt adventure with Mystery Guides

Experiences are perfect for colleagues, friends, and family, offering a really unique way to connect and have fun. They move beyond the material and provide a story to tell for years to come…

Uncover Hidden Gems with a Mystery Guides Treasure Hunt

Imagine your Secret Santa recipient solving treasure hunt clues and exploring their own city in a completely new way. 

A self-guided city tour treasure hunt is an incredible gift that offers excitement and discovery. It transforms a familiar place into a brilliant playground of puzzles and hidden secrets... This type of group activity is perfect for someone who enjoys a good challenge and a bit of friendly competition. They can embark on this treasure hunt adventure solo, with a partner, or with a group of friends, making it a flexible and engaging present. It's an imaginative gift that promises a fab day of fun and exploration.

Explore the City in a New Light with Mystery Guides

A standard city tour can sometimes feel a bit passive. But what if the city tour was a game? An interactive, puzzle-based tour allows your gift recipient to become a sleuth like detective, uncovering local history and seeing landmarks from a fresh perspective. 

It’s an ideal gift for the curious person in your life who loves to learn and explore. They get to engage with their surroundings, solve riddles, and discover facts they never knew about their own town or a city they plan to visit.

The Thrill of an Outdoor Escape Room

If your Secret Santa pick enjoys puzzles and teamwork, an outdoor escape room experience is an unbeatable choice. These treasure hunt adventures blend the clever problem-solving of a traditional escape room with the freedom of being outside. 

Participants follow a trail of treasure hunt clues scattered across a specific area, working together to crack codes and complete a mission. It’s a fantastic group activity that encourages communication and collaboration, making it a great option for a colleague or a friend.

This Christmas Think Outside the Gift Box

This Christmas, it’s time to think outside the gift box. An experience-based gift shows thoughtfulness and that you want to give something really special. 

For under £20, you can give the gift of an unforgettable Mystery Guides treasure hunt, an experience that truly stands out from the usual Secret Santa fare.
