The tradition of gift-giving at Christmas goes back centuries, but many people credit philanthropist Larry Dean Stewart with inventing Secret Santa as we all know it today. He began to give people gifts anonymously at Christmas time. This started as giving underprivileged people in Kansas City money in 1979 and continued for many more years.

That’s our recommended round up of Secret Santa gifts for under £15, but there are plenty more brilliant ideas over on our website – why not take a look for yourself?

What’s the best Christmas Present? A broken drum – you can’t beat it.
