Funny Secret Santa Gift Ideas

 

1. Electronic Wine Bottle Opener

Let me paint a picture every girl will recognize. You’re either on a date or at a party hosted by a guy, and things are going great when someone suggests opening a bottle of wine.

The guy, fumbling aimlessly, totally botches opening the wine bottle, and your night, just like the cork floating in your vino, has totally fallen apart into tiny pieces.

Help your colleagues and friends avoid this embarrassment by getting them this sleek electronic bottle opener – with its small footprint, it won’t take up any space on the counter yet can open up to 30 bottles on a single charge!

2. Carhartt Knit Hat

Another much less exciting thing that happens after Thanksgiving is the brutally cold conditions that always quickly ensue.

Because all guys – yes, I said all – too often cannot be trusted to take care of themselves whatsoever, help a brother out by getting them this minimalist yet super comfortable beanie from Carhartt.

At under $10, this knit beanie is an absolute steal and makes a great secret santa gift. Carhatt is a brand synonymous with durability and craftsmanship too. If you’re worried your gift recipient already has a beanie, don’t be.

Given how forgetful all guys (yep, said it again) are, they’ll thank you for hooking them up with a backup!

Best of all, Tervis cups are insulated, so they keep hot drinks hot for 8 hours and cold drinks cold for 24 hours. And let’s face it, hydration tastes better when its a thoughtful creation.

26. Coffee Grinder

These days, it’s simply not enough to grab a quick cup of joe from Starbucks.

You must know the coffee plantation from which the beans were sourced, understand exactly what temperature conditions in which they were shipped, and – mostly importantly of all – make sure they arrive whole to be freshly ground!

All jokes aside, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with knowing more about what you put in your mouth, so check out the Manual Coffee Grinder to cater to your coffee-conscious compadres.

What I love about the JavaPresse grinder is its 18 click-settings, which allow you to control how coarsely you grind those freshly-roasted beans.

A manual coffee grinder makes a great secret santa gift for friends who are coffee connoisseurs (and disdain your nespresso)!
