Secret Santa

Are you organizing a Secret Santa this year?

The idea of a Secret Santa is really rather a nice one. Each person draws the name of one person within a group of participants that they must buy a gift for, without telling anyone else who they got until the day of distribution. It’s a great way to add some fun and mystery into the holidays, particularly popular among office workers. But for it to be successful, you have to find the perfect gift.

What is Secret Santa?

This fun little game originated in England and Ireland, and is a great way to break the ice between colleagues and friends, and inject some more fun into the holiday season. Secret Santa is called different things in different nations, but the organization remains the same. Everyone gets together to draw a name from a hat (or similar) but keeps the names secret. So you know who to buy a gift for, but you don’t know who is buying one for you.

The rules are as follows:

• First, establish a budget for the gifts between your group. It’s normally quite low so everyone can participate.
• Then draw your name from the hat, and no switching! Even if you don’t know much about the person, you can still find them a nice gift.
• You must keep the surprise and use your imagination.
