34 Secret Santa Gifts Under $15 for Teens, College Students, Anyone!

Even though I try to start my shopping early, inevitably, I’m trolling the aisles of Target on December 24th, looking for Secret Santa gifts, stocking stuffers, and the last-minute presents that I know my teens would love (read: the gifts I didn’t know they wanted until they said something on December 23.)

All of these items are under $15, which means you can stock up so that when your son or daughter comes home, telling you at the last minute that they need a gift, you’ll be the cool mom with one you already have in the house.

BTW, many of these gifts would also work well for your own Secret Santa needs for friends, office mates or small Christmas Gifts for relatives.
