Poundland has unveiled pre-wrapped gifts that are the perfect present if you’ve been roped into a Secret Santa at the office.
The budget chain is hoping to take the stress out of the annual office tradition by offering up £1 mystery gifts.
Inside each of the boxes is something from its Christmas range, including stress balls, selfie clips, back scratchers and a chubby electro Rudolf toy – but there’s no way to tell which one is inside.
At the moment the helpful gifts are only available at the branch in Stratford, east London, but the launch may be extended across stores in the Midlands.
Poundland’s senior buyer Richard Brewin told Metro: ‘Turns out the nation are big banter fans so we’re removing the pressure of choosing a Secret Santa gift and replacing it with LOLs.

The chain tweeted a number of pictures, including one of the elf playing poker with several scantily-clad women, and another showing the stuffed toy drawing a suspiciously-shaped cactus with the caption ‘that’s one prickly Christmas tree’.
Poundland faced a backlash on social media by users who felt the campaign was overly sexualised and crass.
Others loved the campaign, which cost the retailer just £25.53 to produce.
