Secret Santa shopping doesn’t have to mean panic-buying novelty tat at the last minute. While other people will unwrap mugs with lame slogans or a jumper you wouldn't wear if you were held at gunpoint, you'll be the star of the Secret Santa show, bestowing beautiful, desirable, cool presents people actually want.

We’ve rounded up the best small-but-mighty bottles that actually make people smile, sure to get opened on the spot. From clever cocktail-ready spirits to festive liqueurs and rum that smells like Christmas morning, these gifts are affordable, fun, and far too good to stay secret.
