Top 10 Kris Kringle Gift Ideas

It’s that exciting time of the year. You’re getting past the “it’s way to early for the shops to be decked with holly and advertising Christmas” phase. It’s getting closer. You’re about to take the year-long-avoided trip to the spider-filled back shed to haul out a dusty box of tinsel and fairy lights.  You may have even slipped that Christmas carols CD into your car to brush up on your carols early…no? Just me?…Get in the spirit people! But the office has begun to buzz with the Christmas party plans and groans for the holidays to come more speedily, have increased. You’ve probably begun a list of gifts on the fridge. Family, friends, neighbours …and the dreaded $20 Kris Kringle present. It’s always difficult, $20 does not go far. Although, effort is needed to avoid the awkwardness when you get a nice gift and someone else gets a box of chocolates from Woolies (but maybe they’ll love it, who knows!?). Irrespective, to save you the drama I have collated the  Top 10 Kris Kringle gifts for you to choose from (NB: prices range from $8-$25):
