No. 1Biltong and Chocs Treat Box
Beef biltong, droewors and a Lindt Lindor cornet in one box, with larger sizes that double up on the biltong. For the person who keeps a snack drawer going through a long afternoon, and it takes a name at checkout.
Skip it if they do not eat red meat.

No. 2Pastel Flower Bouquet
Seasonal roses, lilies and daisies in pastel shades, wrapped in cellophane rather than arranged. It suits a desk or a reception counter, though someone has to find a vase and water on the day it lands.
Skip it if there is no vase anywhere in the office.
Nationwide delivery; check the option and address for same-day availability
No. 3Personalised Thank You Mug and Coaster Set
Mug and coaster printed with Thanks for all you do, plus their name. It stays on the desk all year, which is more than most Secretary's Day gifts manage, and you give the spelling at checkout.
Skip it if their name is often spelled wrong and you are guessing.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 4La Motte Millenium and Lindt Gift
Bottle of La Motte Millennium with a slab of Lindt milk chocolate, boxed if you add the gift box option. A straightforward thank-you for a colleague who drinks wine, and it goes home rather than being opened at the desk.
Skip it if you do not know whether they drink.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 5Hat Box Treat Gift
Nestle chocolates in a hat box, in four sizes from something small to a box that goes round the whole floor. Easy when you do not know the person well, because everyone finds something they like in it.
Not for someone who has cut out sugar.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 6Rosey Revenge Bouquet
Bright mixed roses rather than red ones, in twelve, twenty-four, thirty-six or forty-eight stems. The colour mix keeps it friendly instead of romantic, which is what you want for someone you work with.
Skip it if getting a big bouquet home on a taxi would be awkward.
Nationwide delivery; check the option and address for same-day availability
No. 7Duo of Haute Cabriere and Lindt Chocolate
Haute Cabriere Chardonnay Pinot Noir, a bottle with Lindt milk chocolate alongside it, in a craft box or a satin-lined one. An adults-only gift that goes home unopened, which suits a colleague you know reasonably well.
Not for an office where alcohol is not given as a gift.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 8Ultimate Sally Williams and Teddy Bear Gift
Sally Williams nougat boxed with a small white teddy, and Turkish delight and chocolate in the larger sizes. The teddy makes it warmer than a plain hamper, which can read oddly between colleagues who are not close.
Not for a working relationship where a teddy bear would be strange.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 9Floral Scarf with Charlotte Rhys Hamper
Scarf in red, blue, pink or stone packed with a vanilla candle, a Charlotte Rhys soap bar and hand cream. Choose the stone if you are unsure of their taste, because the scarf is the part that lasts.
Not for a colleague who does not wear scarves.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 10The Chocolate Box
Lindt balls, Cote d'Or mignonettes, a Sally Williams nougat slab and a Toblerone in one box. Three sizes, so the large one is enough to open at the desk and hand round the floor.
Not for someone who would rather not have chocolate around.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 11Personalised Name Gilded Notebook
Two A5 leatherette journals, one black and one brown, with their name on the cover. Practical for someone who still takes notes on paper in meetings, and the name goes on at checkout.
Not for someone who does everything on a laptop.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 12Personalised Floral Mug
Floral mug carrying their name and a short message you write yourself, with a box of Toni Glass teas if you add it. The tea version turns a small gift into something they can open at the desk.
Skip it if the office kitchen already has a shelf of orphan mugs.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 13Its Dry But You Can Eat It Fruit and Nuts Crate
Wooden crate of banana chips, cranberries, almonds and dried apple, which lasts on a desk far longer than a box of chocolate. For a colleague who snacks through the day and would rather it was not sweets.
Not for someone with a nut allergy.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 14Moon Variety Bouquet
Mixed seasonal blooms in a wrapped bouquet, in three sizes so you can match it to how well you know them. It travels to the four big metros only, and it will need a vase when it arrives.
Skip it if they work outside Joburg, Pretoria, Cape Town or Durban.
Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban; check same-day availability
No. 15Large Chocolate Filled Hatbox
Nestlé chocolate bars fill a round hatbox tied with black satin ribbon. Three sizes let you choose a small chocolate gift or enough familiar favourites to share.
Skip it if they do not eat milk chocolate.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 16Bunch of Lovely Red Roses in Craft Paper
Red roses with ruscus wrapped in craft paper, from twelve stems up to forty-eight. Red roses read as romantic, so this is the right choice only where you already know it will be taken the way you mean it.
Not for a colleague who might read red roses the wrong way.
Nationwide delivery; check the option and address for same-day availability
No. 17Nuts About you Tray
Tray of Montagu cashews, almonds, raw tree nuts and a nature mix, with a version that adds Lindt chocolate balls. It sits open on a desk and empties through the afternoon, which is the point in a busy office.
Skip it if anyone at their desk has a nut allergy.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 18Bonsai Tree in Pottery
Bonsai in a pottery pot, a plant that stays on the desk long after flowers would have gone. It needs someone who will remember to water it, and it travels to the four big metros only.
Not for someone who kills every plant they are given.
Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban only; confirm arrival at NetFlorist
No. 19Munch Mania
Ferrero Rocher, Wedgewood biscuits, cashews, chocolate-coated almonds and Pringles in one box. Built for a snack drawer rather than a single sitting, so it suits someone who eats at their desk through the afternoon.
Not for someone trying to keep snacks out of the office.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 20Simply Savoury Box
Assorted biltong with wasabi nuts, chilli peanuts, peri-peri cashews, chilli corn and rice crackers. All savoury and mostly hot, which suits the person in the office who complains that every gift is chocolate.
Skip it if they do not eat chilli or red meat.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 21Teddy and Cadbury Chocolates in Gift Box
Round black box holding a small teddy and Cadbury Bubbly, in three sizes. It reads as a warm personal gesture rather than a formal thank-you, so it fits a colleague you actually get on with.
Not for a formal office where a soft toy would look out of place.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 22Fudgy Nuts Crate
Open wooden crate of Ferrero Rocher, Wedgewood macadamia nougat, peanut clusters and peanut brittle. Enough pieces to hand round a small team, and the crate gets kept afterwards for pens and cables.
Skip it if peanuts are a problem for anyone nearby.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 23Lush Pink Lilies and Cerise Roses in A Vase
Cerise roses and pink Asiflorum lilies arriving already in their vase, nine stems in the small. Nobody has to hunt for a vase in the office kitchen, and the lilies open a few days after the roses.
Skip it if the desk is too small for a vase of flowers.
Nationwide delivery; check the option and address for same-day availability
No. 24Personalised Dressing Gown Adult
Dressing gown with their name on it, in sizes small to extra-large. It is a home gift rather than a desk one, so it works for someone you know well enough to guess a size, and badly for a new colleague.
Skip it if you would have to ask their size to order it.

How to choose a gift for Secretary's Day
Prices on this page run from under R200 to R750–1 000; 8 of the 24 picks are under R300. This list leans towards things to eat and personalised gifts. 22 of them deliver nationwide; the rest are metro-only, and the retailer page shows the next delivery date for your area. Start from the price band you have in mind, then read the note under each pick: it says who the thing is really for and who should skip it. Where a pick is filed for Secretary's Day by the retailer itself we say so; where a page borrows from a neighbouring list we say that too.
Where this list comes from: we read NetFlorist's whole catalogue, keep only what it files for Secretary's Day itself (Biltong, Mixes, for the Home among the categories here), rank by where NetFlorist places each item, what its buyers have said and how the price sits, and write our own note on who it suits and who should skip it. We have not handled these products and do not say we have. Commission never touches the order. Price bands come from NetFlorist's prices on 7 September 2026; the retailer page is the truth on the day. The full method.
