Every one of these is under $30, which is where most office gift exchanges draw the line.
The hard part about a Secret Santa is that you usually barely know the person. A candle works because it does not assume anything — no size, no taste in jewellery, no guessing. These are the two safe directions:
The funny one. The dessert candles look like macarons, cookies, ice cream and chocolate biscuits. They get picked up, turned over and laughed at, which is most of the job done. $25.
The grown-up one. The 12 oz jars in bergamot and thyme, eucalyptus mint or lemon verbena read as something you chose on purpose. $28.
And the pressed flower keepsake at $25 arrives already boxed with a ribbon — useful when the exchange is tomorrow morning and you have no wrapping paper.
Doing the whole team? Ten or more goes through custom & bulk orders, not the cart. Hand-poured by me in Kitchener, Ontario.
