What is Secret Santa?

Secret Santa is a Christmas tradition where people exchange gifts anonymously. Simply write down everybody’s names on pieces of paper and let each person draw one giftee from the pool – no looking and no telling, of course! Then, when everyone gathers for the final celebration, they leave the present under the tree or at a set spot. Each person will then get one gift from their Secret Santa! Whether you decide to reveal your identity at the end is up to you.

And what to get for Secret Santa? Usually, gifts are small but thoughtful, and oftentimes people will set a price limit at the start to make things easier. As to what to buy for Secret Santa, the sky is the limit!
