At Rude Mugs, we’ve got a huge collection of funny, cheeky and downright rude mugs made for people who think the best Secret Santa present is one that gets a proper laugh.

Whether you’ve drawn the bloke from accounts, your work best mate, your boss, someone you’ve spoken to twice or the office gobshite, our Secret Santa mugs give you plenty of ways to make this year’s present memorable.

Forget boring chocolates, novelty socks and another miniature bottle of booze. Give them something they can proudly stick on their desk and use every day.

Funny Secret Santa Gifts That Actually Get a Laugh

Secret Santa sounds easy until you pull a name out of the hat and realise you haven’t got a clue what to buy them.

That’s where a funny mug comes in.

Mugs make particularly good Secret Santa presents because they’re useful, affordable and easy to match to someone’s personality.

Know someone who’s always moaning?

There’s a mug for that.

Someone who can’t function without coffee?

We’ve got them covered.

Someone with a filthy sense of humour?

They’re going to feel very much at home here.

Our collection includes everything from mildly cheeky jokes to rude Secret Santa gifts that probably shouldn’t be opened in front of HR.

Secret Santa Mugs for Work

Workplace Secret Santa is where funny mugs really come into their own.

Most offices have the same cast of characters. There’s the one who’s permanently making tea, the one who’s never actually at their desk, the serial meeting organiser, the office know-it-all and the person who starts talking about Christmas in October.

A carefully chosen Secret Santa mug for a colleague can turn one of those little personality traits into a genuinely funny present.

They’re also practical. Instead of disappearing after Christmas, a mug can stay in the office kitchen for months afterwards, regularly reminding everyone who bought it.

Just remember to judge your audience before choosing one of the ruder designs.

Funny Secret Santa Gifts for Men

Buying a small Christmas present for a bloke you barely know can be surprisingly difficult.

That’s why Secret Santa gifts for men are one of the most common Christmas gift searches.

You don’t necessarily know his clothes size, what he drinks, which football team he supports or whether he needs yet another pair of socks.

You probably know whether he can take a joke.

Our funny mugs cover loads of different personalities, interests and senses of humour, making them an easy choice for dads, brothers, mates, husbands and male colleagues.

Choose something that sounds suspiciously like him and you’ve got yourself a Secret Santa present.

Rude Secret Santa Gifts for Adults

Sometimes polite isn’t going to cut it.

If your Secret Santa recipient has the sort of sense of humour that would make their nan blush, have a look through our rude Secret Santa mugs.

We’ve got mugs featuring swearing, sarcasm, insults, adult jokes and plenty of humour that isn’t suitable for the office Christmas party unless you know your colleagues very well.

They’re made for mates who constantly insult each other, colleagues who can take a joke and family Christmases where nobody is particularly easily offended.

You’ve been warned.

Secret Santa Gifts for Colleagues

Picking Secret Santa gifts for colleagues can be awkward because you need something funny without spending a fortune.

A novelty mug hits that sweet spot nicely.

You can choose a design based around their job, habits, hobbies or personality. If they’re always drinking tea or coffee at their desk, you’ve also got a present you know they’ll actually use.

Funny office mugs work particularly well for:

• Your work best mate
• The office joker
• Your manager
• The permanently stressed colleague
• The tea addict
• The coffee addict
• Someone who’s leaving soon
• The colleague who’s impossible to buy for

Just make sure you know them well enough before handing over anything spectacularly offensive.

Secret Santa Gifts for Someone You Barely Know

We’ve all had this one.

You unfold the piece of paper and discover you’ve drawn someone from another department whose surname you don’t even know.

Now you’ve got to buy them a Christmas present.

When you don’t know much about someone, choose something broadly funny rather than highly personal.

A funny coffee mug, sarcastic mug or general Christmas joke usually works well because they don’t rely on knowing someone’s hobbies or interests.

And if you’re completely stuck, simply choose the one that makes you laugh most.

There’s a decent chance they’ll find it funny too.

Cheap Secret Santa Gifts That Don’t Feel Cheap

Secret Santa normally comes with a spending limit, which means nobody wants to spend £30 on something impressive.

The challenge is finding an inexpensive present that still feels like you’ve made some effort.

That’s another reason mugs work so well.

They’re substantial enough to wrap properly, useful enough to keep and cheap enough to fit most workplace Secret Santa budgets.

Fill one with sweets or chocolates if you want to make the present look even bigger without spending much more.

How to Choose the Right Secret Santa Mug

Start with the person rather than the joke.

Think about what they’re known for.

Are they always late? Do they drink ridiculous amounts of coffee? Are they obsessed with football? Do they swear constantly? Are they the office grump? Do they tell terrible jokes?

The best funny Secret Santa gifts normally have some connection to the person receiving them.

You want them to unwrap it and immediately understand why you’ve chosen it.

That’s when everyone else starts laughing too.

Secret Santa Gifts for Your Boss

Buying for the boss requires slightly more judgement.

A funny mug can work brilliantly, particularly if your workplace has a relaxed atmosphere and you’ve got a good relationship with them.

A joke about meetings, coffee, management or workplace life is usually safer territory.

Calling your boss a massive twat in front of the entire company takes considerably more confidence.

We’ll leave that decision to you.

Secret Santa Gifts for Your Best Mate

If you’ve drawn one of your mates, congratulations.

You can ignore most of the sensible advice on this page.

This is your opportunity to find the rudest, most inappropriate mug possible and watch them open it in front of everyone.

Our collection of rude mugs contains plenty of designs aimed squarely at people whose friendships are largely based on insulting one another.

You know who they are.

Why Mugs Make Great Secret Santa Presents

There are good reasons mugs appear under office Christmas trees every year.

They’re affordable, easy to wrap and useful.

They’re also incredibly easy to personalise through humour.

One person might love a rude mug. Someone else might prefer a dad joke. Another might want something about football, gaming, work or getting old.

That makes mugs particularly handy when you’re shopping for a large group of very different people.

And unlike a novelty Christmas hat, they’ll probably still be using it in February.

Secret Santa Mug FAQs

Are mugs good Secret Santa gifts?

Yes. Mugs are affordable, useful and available with thousands of different jokes and designs. They’re particularly good when there’s a £10 or £15 Secret Santa spending limit.

What is a good funny Secret Santa gift for a colleague?

Choose something connected to their personality, job or workplace habits. Funny mugs work particularly well for colleagues because they can keep using them at work after Christmas.

What should I buy for Secret Santa when I don’t know the person?

Keep the joke fairly general. A funny tea or coffee mug makes an easy present because you don’t need to know their clothing size, hobbies or favourite brands.

Are rude mugs suitable for office Secret Santa?

That depends entirely on your workplace and the recipient. Mildly cheeky humour works in many offices. Save the seriously rude stuff for colleagues you know well.

What are good Secret Santa gifts for men?

Funny mugs, novelty gifts and presents based around hobbies or personality traits all work well. A mug is particularly useful when you don’t know the recipient well enough to buy something more personal.

How much should you spend on Secret Santa?

The group will normally agree a spending limit beforehand. £10 to £20 is common for informal Secret Santa exchanges, although every workplace, family and group of friends is different.
