Life
It's the night before your office's Secret Santa exchange and guess who forgot all about it? Yeah; you. This time of year is often full of end-of-year work commitments, holiday parties, and errands, so who can blame you? No need to brave the mall (which, frankly, you don't even want to consider). Instead, pick up all of your cheap Secret Santa gifts from Target.
Target is the perfect destination for Secret Santa shopping because, let's be honest, you were probably going to stop in for something else anyway. Plus it has gifts that cover all price points. Need a very inexpensive item for an acquaintance or group? Target's discount section just might have what you're looking for. Shopping for someone who's all about the Oscars? There are always affordable movie deals to be found. Target's accessories and home decor offerings are often stylish and fun in addition to being budget-friendly. See? You can pick up a Secret Santa gift for anyone at Target, no matter how many seasonal swaps you're involved in. And you can get it all done without completely shattering your budget.
Eat a cookie, take a deep breath, and head to the store. Here are 17 ideas from Target that will cover just about every personality on your list.
