Secondhand Santa
Across the nation we spent a whopping £280 million on Secret Santa gifts for our colleagues last year. Two thirds of people said their gifts were no good, and some didn’t even take their gifts home from the party!
Nobody wants to be mugged off at Christmas. So we’re challenging offices all over the country to swap the generic mugs for something a bit different and try Secondhand Santa with your colleagues this year.
No more off-license wine from Steve in accounting, this year embrace pre-loved and homemade gifts. More sustainable, more thoughtful, and cheaper too.
It’s so-oh-oh easy to make a small change with big impact. You just need to run your secret santa as normal but ask people to swap out their usual gifts for something homemade or pre-loved! Think charity shop treasures, homemade edible treats, experiences... A small change that we hope will see less tat and more treasures gifted this Christmas, saving gifts from landfill.
