How to nail the taste every time
Even the best idea falls flat if it doesn't fit the person. That's what wishlists are for: everyone adds a few wishes before the draw, and whoever draws them sees exactly what they'd love — without anyone spoiling it.
Just create a Secret Santa group. After the draw, each person opens their personal link, sees the drawn person and their wishes, and can even mark the gift as sorted. So you, the organizer, know everyone really has something on the day.
Frequently asked questions
What do you gift at an office Secret Santa?
Neutral gifts work best: coffee or tea, a nice mug, quality chocolate, a notebook or a small voucher. With a wishlist per person you're sure to get it right.
What can you gift for €5?
Surprisingly much: funny socks, a good bar of chocolate, a spice blend, a small plant or a lovingly made card. For White Elephant it can get quirky too.
How do I find out what the person wants?
Easiest via a wishlist: everyone adds a few ideas before the draw. Afterwards you see the drawn person's wishes right on your personal link.
