Funny Secret Santa Gifts for Coworkers and Friends
Part of funny gifts guide
A Secret Santa hands you one name and no audience. Nobody steals the gift, nobody sees it until the party, and the person who opens it tries to guess who bought it from the joke alone. So the joke has to fit one person: the coworker with the yacht stories, the manager who has not left the building since March. Keep it short, because coworkers read the front of a mug in about two seconds. If your office plays the stealing version instead, the white elephant guide is the one to read.
Funny Secret Santa gifts for coworkers
A Secret Santa gift is for one person, so choose the joke for them, not for the room. Keep it light and short; coworkers read the front of a mug in about two seconds.
"When the going gets tough, quit" hat
"When the going gets tough, quit" reverses a motivational poster: the tough get going, the smart sit down. It is the Secret Santa gift for the colleague who is perfect at everything except staying late. In Black or Khaki it makes the quitter look decisive instead of tired.
"My yacht sank" mug
"My yacht sank" brags and complains in three words: it assumes you own a boat, and that the ocean has taken it. It suits the coworker who talks about their weekend plans as if there were staff. Nobody has ever been annoyed by a mug that exaggerates in their favor.
"Spending my kid's inheritance" hat
"Spending my kid's inheritance" is the retirement plan said as a threat. A hat for the colleague with grown children, a boat ad open in a tab and a calendar that says Friday. Pick Navy for the golf-course look, and expect the kids to notice first.
Secret Santa mugs for the break room
A mug is the Secret Santa gift opened with relief: nobody has to guess a size, and every office owns a coffee machine that needs a joke. Secret Santa mugs are the safe pick for the draw you barely know.
"I'm just here for the free refills" mug
"I'm just here for the free refills" turns the break room coffee machine into a whole personality. It goes to the colleague who is in every meeting for the pot and has never taken a note. Black glossy ceramic, 11 oz, dishwasher and microwave safe, so the gift needs no instructions.
"Vegan free diet" mug
"Vegan free diet" reads like the label on a steak dinner: nothing vegan inside, and proud of it. It goes to the draw who brings a rotisserie chicken to the potluck and a speech about it. Wrapped, it looks like every other box until the paper comes off.
Secret Santa tees and hoodies
When the budget stretches, Secret Santa t-shirts and hoodies let the joke be worn instead of stored on a shelf.
"I invested in crypto, and all I got was this T-shirt" tee
"I invested in crypto, and all I got was this T-shirt" is the vacation-tee slogan with the vacation replaced by a trading app, so the entire return on the investment is the shirt. It suits the colleague who checks a chart during every call and says nothing about the result.
"Filthy poor" tee
"Filthy poor" swaps one word of the phrase filthy rich for the honest one. It is a fit for the colleague who splits the lunch bill to the cent and wins the argument. Combed, ring-spun cotton in solid colors, with an itch-free printed neck tag.
"Addicted to procrastination" hoodie
"Addicted to procrastination" admits the habit and promises to deal with it after the holidays, which is how the swap gift got bought in the first place. A 100% cotton face over a fleece-lined interior, flat drawstrings and a pouch pocket for the draw who spends the party with the hood up.
Order before the draw
Delivery takes 6 to 10 business days after ordering, so order at least two weeks before the exchange. If the gift is for a coworker, the coworker guide has the rest of the office. If a spending limit is the only rule you were given, the under $20 and $50 guide sorts everything by price. More funny work gift t-shirts and mugs suit an office draw.

Secret Santa gifts: questions
What is a good Secret Santa gift for a coworker?

What is the difference between Secret Santa and white elephant?
Secret Santa assigns one person to one recipient, so the gift only has to suit that person. White elephant is a game where gifts are chosen and stolen in turns, so the gift has to appeal to everyone. The white elephant guide covers that one.
