What Makes A Good Gender-Neutral Dirty Santa Gift?
The best gender-neutral Dirty Santa gifts are gifts that weren’t specifically made with a man or woman in mind. Whether you call them gender neutral or unisex Dirty Santa gifts, look for gifts that are useful, entertaining, consumable, or that make everyday life a little easier.
Games, pampering gifts, food gifts, experiences, and gift cards are all great choices. Good gift-giving is all about choosing something the recipient would use. Stick with something new that you’d be happy to take home yourself.
The excellence of a gift lies in its appropriateness rather than in its value.

Dirty Santa Game Ideas
Games are a great gift for a gender neutral Dirty Santa party because most people like to try out a new game.
Questions For Humans: Friends
Get off your phones and into real conversations with your friends, using Questions For Humans as conversation starters. This game is perfect as a Dirty Santa gift because anyone can use it at their next get-together.
SKYJO
A good card game is always worth stealing. We played SKYJO with family, and it was so much fun, I bought the game to have at home. My husband, who generally doesn’t like to play games, got into it and we played three rounds in one night!
Useful Dirty Santa Gift Ideas
You can’t go wrong with a gift that’s actually useful! Choose practical gifts that just about anyone at the party would be happy to take home.
Crossbody Fanny Pack
A crossbody fanny pack is useful for everyday errands, walks, workouts, or travel. Choose a neutral color to make this gift one that many people would want to steal.
Foot Massager
Anyone can use a good foot massage now and then, and this Foot Massager doesn’t require asking a spouse to rub your feet, making it a winner!
Phone Stand
We have and use these phone stands, and my husband even used them for his favorite thing at our Favorite Things Christmas Gift Exchange. They are a practical gadget that no one knew they needed and just might be willing to fight for once they know what it is!
Blanket
For some reason, blankets are always a hit at Dirty Santa parties. No matter how many blankets we have, it’s always nice to have a new one.
DIY Dirty Santa Gift Ideas
It’s always fun to put together or make a gift that you know people will love. Just be sure it will be useful and practical for just about anyone. I’d avoid gifting DIY decor like a DIY Tabletop Riser that may not fit the style of other people’s homes.
Flax Seed Heating Bag
Good for aches and pains, a flax seed heating bag is one of those gifts that keep on giving, year after year! I made and gifted flax seed heating bags one year for Christmas, and I often hear that the people I gave them to are still using them! I know I use mine quite often to soothe pains or just to warm up the bed!
Buy one on Etsy or make one yourself!
S’more Box
Nothing says comfort and fun like a little S’more making, and City Bonfires sells a portable fire pit that’s a perfect fit! Help the recipient experience a little nostalgia with this fun and practical gift.
Dirty Santa Gift Card Ideas
Gift cards are a bit of a cheat when it comes to Dirty Santa gifts, but if you present them in a unique and creative way, I think you can get away with it, especially since it’s such a practical gift that will certainly get used!
Costco Gift Card
A Costco Gift Card is another gift worth fighting for because, let’s face it, money is tight, and Costco sells stuff anyone can use. Place a Costco Gift Card on this fun Costco Gift Card Holder for a gift worth wrapping and fighting for!
Gas Card
With high gas prices, a gas card would be a sure bet for a Dirty Santa gift. Pair it with car cleaning supplies and a car wash bucket to make it the practical gift anyone could want.
Movie Theater Gift Card
Pair a movie theater gift card or a few movie tickets with microwave popcorn and a few boxes of movie candy for a gift that’s sure to get used!
From fun gifts to buy to gifts you can make yourself, or even gift cards, these gender neutral Dirty Santa gift ideas are ones that will actually get used!
