Secret Santa: what it is and gift ideas for the secret Santa

With the Christmas the time is upon us to think about gifts, but how can we not squander all our savings or our thirteenth month’s salary, also risking not finding the right gift? The answer is in Secret Santaor if you prefer Secret Santaan all-American tradition which, fortunately for us, will not only allow us to reduce the expenses dedicated to gifts to a minimum, but also to lower the level of stress when searching for the perfect gift for everyone.

What is Secret Santa

When you were little, Dad Christmas he was a bearded gentleman dressed in red who, it’s not yet clear how, traveled all over the globe with a list full of gifts. A dream that animated the Advent season of the first years of life until it was discovered that all those gifts were nothing more than the work of mum, dad, grandparents and so on.

What if we tried to bring some of that magic back to today’s gift exchange too? There is a way and yes call Secret Santa: here, in fact, thanks to a game of fate, a gift will be given to another person without them knowing who they are receiving a gift from.

A real way to shuffle the cards on the table and, perfect, also for exchanging gifts between friends, colleagues and teammates: a no-stress, economical and above all fun method to celebrate the arrival of Christmas.

Secret Santa: how to organize it

Organize the Secret Santa It’s easier than you think and you just need to follow a few really simple steps. We start, first of all, by collecting the participations and, subsequently, by writing all the names of the participants on different pieces of paper.

At this point, everyone will take turns wearing the role of Secret Santa going to extract the name of the person for whom he will have to choose the perfect gift.

So give yourself a couple of weeks and, in addition, also agree on a budget so as to select gifts of more or less the same value. At this point, then, only the final step is missing: delivering the gifts in complete anonymity and never ever revealing that you are someone else’s Secret Santa.

Gift ideas for Secret Santa

The gift ideas for Secret Santa there are so many and, whether they are for him or her, you can range between cheaper or less economical proposals. The important thing, however, is to intercept the tastes of those who will receive the gift and, perhaps, not to take it too seriously and make fun of it (especially if you are thinking of a gift between colleagues). And if ideas are scarce, here are some useful ideas

If the Secret Santa is among colleagues, this is the gift to give. And if the phrase doesn’t fit perfectly, there are many other decidedly funny ones: Keep calm. We have an Excel file for this, Lists of things needed for yesterday, but also Things I want to say at the meeting but can’t.
