With the holiday season comes many opportunities for gift-giving (and getting!), but searching for presents that will be a hit with distant relatives or office acquaintances can be some of the most difficult ones to shop for.
Rather than going the generic route of a gift card or a bottle of wine, more thoughtful options that are still affordable can mean the difference between a winning present and a knick-knack that ends up re-gifted.
Ahead, we’re rounding up 10 creative gifts that are perfect for any secret Santa or white elephant party that all ring in under $30.
