Secret Santa Gift Ideas: Give a Mate
A mate set is an original Secret Santa gift: it is unusual, handcrafted and comes with its own ritual, whether or not the person has tried mate.
Why it works
Most people do not receive a mate every year. It is memorable, it starts a conversation and it is easy to use.
Choose an easy-care mate
Stainless steel with leather needs no curing, which is ideal if the receiver is new to mate.
Add a note
Include a short card explaining that mate is shared and that the cup goes around the group. It makes the gift part of a story.
Keep it simple
A mate and a bombilla are enough. Yerba can be added by the receiver.
Quick answers
Is a mate a good office gift?
Yes. It is practical and different from the usual options.
Do I need to include yerba?
It is a nice extra, but not required.
A stainless steel mate with leather is ready to use right out of the box.
