I was assigned to a guy I don’t know much about.
He works in IT security, likes games (the brainy types), Jack Daniel's Tennessee Fire and takes his coffee seriously. I’m based in Melbourne if that helps.

The best KK present I got was a BWS voucher and a pack of beer nuts
Damn, now I want that too
Chocolates or a bottle of wine.
Coffee table book about coffee tables?
Or maybe just about coffee https://www.amazon.com.au/Coffee-Dictionary-Maxwell-Colonna-…
One of the new variations of the Rubik's cube

Amazon has this for $25 each. $12 at Dan Murphy). Do you reckon they are the same?
i guessing you want me to search them for you?
We bought him a bottle of that for birthday, so it’s out of question unfortunately
- Hard to know what games he has but:
Coup/monopoly deal/Kingdomino can all be bought for $25 or under (eg Kmart other online stores) - A single origin small bag of coffee should come under $25 get it grounded for a coffee press or get whole beans if you know he has his own set up.
- Hard to know what games he has but:
If you're a smartarse, get their photo off the directory (if you have one) and make a coffee mug/jigsaw/some other piece of junk.
This is my thing, I do it every year and it always gets a laugh.
If you're not a smartarse, then I got nothing.
Brainy games, something like Katamino or something similar from a game store?
Get a huge box. Like a fridge or TV cardboard box. Put a $25 gift voucher in it then giftwrap it.

$25 worth of NFTs or Bitcoin.
" Hey mate, remember 5 years ago when I gave you that $25 worth of Bitcoins? "
" Yeah? "
" …well, it's now worth $250 and I think it's only fair that I get $200 of that "
TruckNuts off ebay
He works in IT security
A blow-up girlfriend…
crypto
Desk fan. Desk lamp. USB mug warmer. Not all three.
Bag of coffee.
Most good coffee providors make their own Christmas blends. They're not always great, but it's a good Secret Santa present.
With developers, I had a big success when gifting fidget cubes. Just try and find an original one from Kickstarter, not the one you'd buy for a dollar from AliExpress.
All my devs at work love Lego and everything associated with it.
Make a donation on behalf of the recipient to the Human Fund - Constanza runs it.
Don't be silly and simply buy a gift card. You have "one job"… you are "assigned"… any slough can issue a gift card. If that were the extent of on'e creativity, then the boss would assign his 4yo daughter to issue "gift cards" to all.
Buy a BOOK. This shows your calibre of intellect. It demonstrates you are an educated person, not averse to print.
IT Security = someone who observes; broad minded; a note taker; a recorder; a retainer of knowledge; a depository of action; a hero in disguise; reliant; trustworthy; self assured; and always there.
The book should provide the opportunity for escape. A book completely contrary to their every-day environ.
Your assignment is to find out what this book is… now get out there and do your "one job".
For men, I always go to an adventure store, get them a big hunting knife/cast iron pans, whatever you can find that's manly. Every man truly desires a big knife or something along those lines.

How about this?
Aussie company, great useful gift.I have TILE PRO (can replace battery and it’s got long range, loud ring so comparable) and have gifted several. Lifesaver couple of times when can’t find keys/purse/wallet.
This is Aussie one has lots of extras…..
Lego. Plenty for this price range
A gift card. Always the safest choice.
