The Secret Santa returns along with the headache for your customers. Every year they strive to surprise their loved ones, but the same question always arises: how to achieve it?

In this post, we provide you with creative ideas and original products that will suit the type of "Secret Santa" you have. Offer them an irresistible catalogue with these customisable items and boost your sales during the Christmas campaign!

Customisable Gifts for Beer Lovers

If your client has drawn the "typical" secret Santa who loves beer, you can offer them this original and easy-to-customise kit:

Start with a personalised beer featuring their name or face. Simply print the design on an adhesive vinyl for inkjet printers or a vinyl for sublimation, and then stick it onto the glass.

Includes a beer mug. You can choose either ceramic mugs specially designed for sublimation, which will allow you to achieve a high-quality image, or use etching paste or a laser machine to add a message or their name on a glass mug.

Accompanied by several coasters. At Brildor, you will find coasters that are very original and ready to be customised with sublimation, vinyl, laser engraving... Give them an original touch with a logo or a fun message.

Complete the gift set by customising one of the bottle openers in keyring format or our wall-mounted bottle opener in the shape of a bottle for sublimation.

Customisable gifts for wine lovers

Does your client have the "wine lover" for Secret Santa? This kit is the perfect choice to hit the mark! It offers a portable table for serving drinks, customisable with laser engraving, or a tabletop wine rack that can be personalised with various techniques such as laser engraving, DTF, screen printing, adhesive vinyl, and transfer. It's a unique gift and super easy to create.

Additionally, just like with beer enthusiasts, offer the opportunity to personalise the bottle with a printed label and, in this case, engrave glass goblets for an extra special touch.

And if your client decides to gift a fine wine, why not present it in a personalised wooden box? It's as simple as sublimating the box with a text or image. This way, they can store and display their favourite wine in a truly unique manner.

Customisable Gifts for Jokers

In every group of friends or family, there's always a "joker." If your client has drawn them in Secret Santa, don't miss the opportunity to suggest one of these gifts:

Customise some socks with their face. The trend of personalised socks is on the rise, as people love to wear garments with unique, funny, and eye-catching designs. They have become an original and distinctive product and remain one of the most practical gifts.

Or surprise him with some personalised boxer shorts featuring a funny text through sublimation. You can sublimate the entire surface, although it is advisable to avoid areas prone to creases, such as near the elastic band and the front seams.

Or how about a trophy or medal for being "the number one joker"? Choose from our available models on the website and make their recognition as the most entertaining even more special.

Customisable gifts for little chefs

If your client has drawn the "kitchen enthusiast" in a gift exchange, they're in luck if you offer them a 'Chef Select' pack that includes:

• The classic white apron or a more modern black apron with brown faux-leather straps and a “chef” logo.
• A chef's hat, with the phrase: “the best cook in the world”.
• Some oven mitts with a funny design.

Another option for these Secret Santa gifts are the cutting boards for personalisation. These sublimable boards can feature their name or a phrase that reflects their passion for cooking. Undoubtedly, an intriguing gift that will surprise and be highly useful.

Customisable Gifts for Homebodies

Taking advantage of the cold weather at this time of year, you have the option to personalise blankets, cushions, pyjamas… It's a sure hit, especially for friends who love staying at home. You only need to design a message or image and sublimate it. There are thousands of designs available on Vexels, where you'll find thousands of vectors, patterns, PNGs, editable PSDs, and images ready to print using your chosen personalisation technique.

And as an idea... you have mugs, don't you? You can create a film lover's kit with a personalised mug featuring their favourite film or series. This way, they can enjoy a nice hot chocolate from the comfort of their sofa at home.

Customisable Gifts for Travellers

We must not forget the travelling friend. For that customer looking to impress their adventurous friend, you should have a themed section ready that they will surely love.

Discover flasks that will keep their drinks cold or hot anywhere in the world, caps ideal for sun protection on their journeys, stylish and durable backpacks, luggage covers that will stand out in the crowd, eye masks with earplugs for a restful sleep, travel photo frames that capture unforgettable moments, and cushion covers with travel motifs. Everything needed to accompany your friend on their adventures around the world.

Customisable Gifts for Tech Enthusiasts

For tech enthusiasts, a customizable and original gift is the neoprene cases for laptops or tablets or the cases for headphones. By sublimating their exterior with attractive images or designs, it's certain that more than one buyer will want them for their "tech-savvy friend".

Another option is the cardholders designed for the back of the mobile phone. An item that will simplify your secret Santa's daily life, providing the convenience of having essentials always at hand and with plenty of style.

Customisable gifts for gaming enthusiasts

Who doesn't love a board game? Offer your customers the opportunity to personalise the "Who is it?" game with photos of family or friends through sublimation. It's a very simple game, but if your customers have any doubts about the rules, we provide the instructions via this PDF. We also assist you with printing the images using these templates that we provide at Brildor.

Puzzles are also among the most sought-after customisable gifts. Therefore, it is an excellent idea to personalise a puzzle with a phrase or image from your client. Another option is to customise cards with a game specifically created for the occasion.

In the 'Games and Puzzles' section, you will find a wide variety of up to 360 pieces, boards to customise with games, and customisable playing cards.

For online gaming enthusiasts, a non-slip mouse pad is an ideal choice. Discover all the available mouse pad models in the ‘Stationery’ section.

Customisable Gifts for Athletes

It is common to offer sports items for customisation as gifts for Secret Santa. For example, football is one of the most popular sports, so products for playing it, or enjoying it from the stands, will be a sure hit. Print the crest of their favourite team, their name, or even an original design on sublimable items such as shin guards, socks, and scarves to football balls, foldable goals, or a keyring in the shape of a sports kit.

The practice of yoga has gained great popularity, attracting many people who incorporate it into their daily lives. For yoga enthusiasts, a customisable yoga mat is the perfect gift to add a touch of personality and comfort to their daily practice.

Whatever sport your Secret Santa participates in, they can beat the heat with a refreshing sports towel, water bottles, or a visor perfect for outdoor activities.

Customisable gifts for fashion enthusiasts

Necklaces and earrings are always a safe bet when it comes to gifts, so there are many Secret Santas who will love this kind of gesture.

If you have a sublimation machine, you can explore different models of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, scrunchies, among others, and print personalised phrases or images on each item.

Another innovative technique is laser cutting and engraving, which allows for the creation of personalised accessories using methacrylate or acrylic sheets with a laser machine. This option provides the customer with the freedom to choose the shape and message to be engraved, resulting in an exclusive gift with an elegant touch.

Customisable gifts for eco-friendly individuals

Having sublimable planters with beautiful patterns is a sure success for gifting a plant to someone who is environmentally conscious. Additionally, you can offer your customer the opportunity to personalise a range of eco-friendly products like these:

• Stainless Steel and Bamboo Bottle and Thermos
• Stainless steel and bamboo lunchbox
• Cotton backpack or recycled polyester bags
• Bamboo Notebook and Pen

We suggest incorporating recycled paper bags into your store. These bags can be customised through screen printing with your business's logo or name. Make the switch to more sustainable options and attract more environmentally conscious customers!

And here are our suggestions! We hope that with these customizable products, you will surprise and assist your customers in finding the perfect gift for their Secret Santa.
