Is a wreath an appropriate gift for a secret Santa?

So at work we have secret santas. I don't know the person I drew but I know they wear a cross everyday so they celebrate Christmas.

I was thinking chocolates but someone else gave us all candies.

Maybe an umbrella because she doesn't seem to have one?

$10 limit.

Is a wreath tacky?

    With informal gifts it is always best to give something that is consumable. This way the recipient is not obligated to keep it, store it in a drawer or dust it off.

    Food is the universal language of every human being. I would give a food item. A wreath will only last the short season that is left. Although I might add that I would love a wreath; although someone else may not. I would get a nice box of crackers and some cheese or cheese spread, a jar of nice jam or perhaps decadent cookies. You can be sure it will be eaten by the recipient or their guests during the holiday season. Another gift that I always love to receive is a gorgeous Christmas tree ornament.

    I personally would not enjoy getting a wreath. If it's an office party, get something fun. I'd rather get the cheapest gag gift than a wreath.

    Not if she has a terminal disease and is going to DIE before New Year
