It’s that time of the year: the weather is already getting chillier, string lights are being put all over town, families are going tree shopping – that’s right, Christmas is here again. Everyone’s happy to rest at the end of another year and celebrate the holidays with their families and loved ones; however, it’s also the time to buy gifts. It can be really stressful to find that special present, especially if the person you get for Secret Santa seems to be one of those people who already has everything. After some excessive Black Friday shopping that you absolutely needed and the finals week food deliveries, your budget just doesn’t allow you to buy that perfect gift. For that reason, here are 20 Secret Santa gifts for under $20:
