I need Secret Santa Gift Ideas

Every year my job has a secret santa luncheon and we all sit and present our gift to our secret santa in front of the office over a potluck stlye lunch. The limit is $25 this year and I picked one of the females in my office out of the jar. However, she's not officially working here yet- she will be here next week and I've never met her. What are some good suggestions, other than gift cards? I don't know her personally, so I don't have any good ideas. If I don't like anything then of course I have gift cards to fall back on, but I wanted to be a little more creative than that.

    Etsy is my go-to for unique gifts.  I just recently bought a few of these, in all different fabrics, for my son's teachers...

    I'm going to stick a small Dunkin Donuts or Target gift card in them and wrap it up cute.  Just an idea.

    I buy a lot from uncommongoods. Another idea Lolita drink glasses, you can find at Hallmark. Even if SS does not drink alcohol the glasses are cute for other drinks.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

    Most people keep a water bottle at their desk these days, right? (my perception anyway, but I don't work in an office)
    What about a nice Tervis tumbler? New job calls for new water bottle.
    You could pair it with some drink mixes or snacks.

    I drew the name of an older gentleman who is a contract worker, and not an employee, so I never speak the the guy.  I went to IKEA, got a milk frother, a couple stylish mugs, and a milk pitcher.  Then I bought an assortment of miniature coffees, cocoas, and tea.

    I like the Tervis tumbler idea- with a lid and some straws too.

    Coffee mug and Starbucks gift card is usually my go to exchange gifts.
