Yet another year draws to an end as we head towards the last 2 months of the year. With the last of the monsoon showers ending for the year and a slight chill enveloping the city, we come to terms with the fact that this year is winding down to a stop. As we shed our summer clothes and bring out the warm quilts and jackets we know that the festive season of Christmas is inching close.
Christmas with its full glory has the power to revive a kindred spirit, lift the heavy burdens bogging us down in this rat race of life, and instill in hearts joy and love. The beginning of this festive season is marked by the trendy secret Santa game wherein a group of individuals has to procure gifts for another member of the group without revealing their identity. The game though popular in today's time is sometimes a mind-numbing challenge that takes up a lot of time and resources. We have come up with a creative and excellent list of gifts to give to that someone in your social, office, or close-knit group of friends.
1. Hoodie Jackets / Sweaters -
With the beginning of the winter season comes the chill which envelopes the city and the best way to counter this is by bringing out the warm clothes stored in cupboards from the last winter. A sweater or warm jacket is a perfect gift to give to that one person from your group. Today one can find trendy designs and colors which add to the festive mood.
These sweaters are available in different shapes and sizes and come with body heat-preserving technology that sustains bodily heat and gives a sense of comfort and appeasement. This gift will allow that friend to find warmth and a content feeling in the cold or snuggle closer to someone special in their life whilst spending a warm and glowing Christmas and making lasting memories beside the fireplace or on the couch. Your friend will be very happy and will be silently thanking their stars for this wonderful gift.

A watch is a good secret Santa gift that one can give to a colleague or loved one. With it, they now will never be late for meetings and outings. As mentioned by many in the previous decades time waits for no man. This rings true as we all are in some way or another other wasting time and doing things late.
