the roads, in public transport and even at home , we all love to plug in headphones and stream our own content on our devices. There are tons of headphones and headsets in the market but
then, not all of them are as cost friendly. When it comes to over-the-ear headphones, they are generally more expensive. But then, there are some that are perfect for a lower budget too.
Completely surprise your Santee with a pair of headphones that are nice as well as useful! But if not these, you can get any pair of good earphones for the price. But just make sure they
work and work well or your Santee will only end up cursing you for a defective gift! 10 WORST SECRET SANTA GIFTS THAT YOU SHOULD NEVER GIVE TO YOUR COLLEAGUES AND FRIENDS 2. SANDISK ULTRA

need. Giving a pen drive can be a great gift and make sure that your Santa blesses you for life. There are a whole lot of pen drives available but choose a OTG drive which means, the user
can connect it to the smartphone too and transfer photos even from the smartphne with ease! Psst – if your Santee has an iPhone without the USB 2.0 port, this could be difficult as most of
these drives do not support iPhone ports. Just make sure before you buy! But then, if you get the right one, your Santee will surely bless you for life! 9 WAYS TO BE THE PERFECT SECRET
SANTA IN LESS THAN RS 150! 3. ENTER E-S220 MINI USB SPEAKER: Just like headphones, speakers are an indispensable part of our lives. Headphones come with a lot of features these days but if
they are portable then nothing like it. It just adds so much to our parties and trips. Every trip feels incomplete without music and speakers can add to the mood. Speakers are a good gift as
generally everyone uses them at home or on their journeys and a good pair of speakers can be really fun to own. If your Santee is a music buff, then this gift will be the best for him her.
It will definitely make you the best Santa ever! Just make sure that the speakers are working fine and check them before gifting. You don’t want to gift a defective piece, do you? 4.
BLUEBILL BASIC MICRO USB DOCK CHARGER: Everywhere we turn, we see people scrambling to charge their devices or complaining that their smartphones are not working. Gifting your colleague a
charger that always stays on his or her desk and that can help him charge the phone instantly will be a blessing. It can seriously help resolve a lot of battery woes. A charger as a gift is
always appreciated and it is definitely a gift that also has a lot of utility. You can choose from different types of chargers that are available in the market, depending on your preference
and your colleague’s smartphone. But make sure the charge you buy is compatible with the receiver’s device or once again, it will be a gift that will go to waste. 5. NETFLIX SUBSCRIPTION: In
modern times, the youth hardly ever watches TV. All they do is simply watch series online or follow their favourite channels on sites. You can simply give your Santee a one-year Netflix
subscription which will make sure they don’t miss all their favourite shows and stay up to date with the latest. It makes for a really fun and a great gift, especially if your Santee is
someone who religiously follows international as as well as Indian content online. The person will think of you each time he or she signs in and honestly, what other blessing do you want? 6.
PAYTM RECHARGE: We don’t really need to elaborate the benefits of this one move, do we? Simply, demonetisation. Transfer the amount into your Santee’s Paytm and watch their face light up
this Christmas! Seems cheeky but definitely crazy useful! If they do not have a Paytm account, see if they have any other wallet and do a top up for them. It’s easy, absolutely instant and
something everyone will appreciate.
