Chocolate Gift Ideas to Nail This Year’s Office Secret Santa

Well, it’s that time of year again. Names have been pooled, and you’ve been handed this year’s office Secret Santa. Here’s where the confusion starts. What do you buy? Will they like it? And how can you make the experience as painless as possible?

Thankfully, the nation’s favourite chocolatier is here to help, with Secret Santa gift ideas for your colleagues guaranteed to make you the centre of water cooler chat for the next month (at least). From chocolate hampers paired with the finest tipples to selection boxes for nostalgic festive cheer, personalised presents and build-your-own chocolate gifts, we have everything you need to make this office Secret Santa as simple as can be.

Who doesn’t love a tipple? True, alcohol-based Secret Santa gifts can be a risk if you’re not close to your giftee, but if you know they love a glass of fizz, vintage or refreshing pint, a mouth-watering chocolate hamper paired with the finest beverages makes the perfect Christmas gift for your co-worker (take it from us, we know our stuff).

For the classy colleague who spends their summers touring the vineyards of France, explore our chocolate and wine Secret Santa gift ideas — luxury Pinot Grigios and Shiraz Cabernets paired with mouth-watering chocolate from our bestselling Cadbury brands. What could be better? Push the boat out with our indulgent Cadbury Chocolate & Wines Hamper, presented in a beautiful wicker basket, or if you’re looking for something on a smaller scale, try our Cadbury Milk Tray and White Wine Hamper.

For the salt-of-the-earth co-worker whose go-to is a crisp pint, explore our chocolate and beer collection, perfect for simple office Secret Santa presents. Our lip-smacking chocolate creations come with the finest ales to make one delicious combo. Need convincing? Try the Cadbury Bars & Beer Hamper for something compact that’s easy to wrap (and even easier to indulge in).

Ah, the simple selection box. Crowd-pleaser and Christmas gift staple, our chocolate selection boxes are brimming with our most popular treats — making them a great all-rounder and safe bet for office Secret Santa gift ideas, no matter what colleague you’re buying for. For strict budgets, our pocket-sized gifts are great options and are available in small, medium and large sizes.

For your office bestie, try the Cadbury Giant Selection Box — the biggest selection box on the market (and yes, we did measure), this beauty is bursting with fifteen full-sized Cadbury bars making it the perfect present for your go-to office pal. Or, spread festive cheer with our classic Cadbury Stocking Selection Box, guaranteed to put a smile on even the least festive co-worker’s face this Christmas (oh, he knows who he is).

Secret Santa presents don’t get much better than our personalised choc creations. Whether it’s a classic bar of our famous Dairy Milk chocolate or a make-your-own-hamper guaranteed to raise a few (jealous) office eyebrows, our customisable gifts are a simple way to make their day.

For our personalised bars, customising your office Secret Santa gift couldn’t be easier. Simply choose your present, add their name and a witty or heartfelt message (dad jokes welcome) and pop in your basket — we’ll handle the rest, shipping your delicious delights straight to your door just in time for the office hand-in. Spoiling someone rotten with one of our make-your-own personalised hampers? We see you. Add the choccy gifts you know your co-worker will adore from our huge selection of bestselling treats, add their name and your message, and we’ll get the whole thing wrapped up tight in time for the office Secret Santa. Simple, right?
