Secret Santa gifts under £5 that are not rubbish
A fiver does not buy much, so buy something small that works rather than something big that is a joke for ten seconds. Everything here was under £5 on the day we checked, and the page shows today's price.

How we rank
Chosen from what is selling on Amazon UK in each category on the day we checked, inside the price cap, and only if it was in stock. Ordered by how useful the gift is to the person it is for, then price. We have not handled these products: the write-ups rest on what each listing states. Prices and stock are checked daily.
Prices are Amazon UK and eBay UK at the time we last checked; they move daily, so confirm on the retailer's page. We earn a small commission if you buy through our links, at no cost to you. It never changes the order. More about how we work.
