What is Secret Santa?
It is a well-known game in which several people participate and give each other gifts without knowing who has given each gift. The participants must know each other personally and ideally not a large number of people should take part.
On special dates such as Christmas or Friendship Day, this fun game is often played. You can also send letters under a pseudonym to the other person and tell them what they mean to you.
How to do Secret Santa?
Technology has also entered into this type of game. Now, you can do Secret Santa via Messenger og Whatsapp. The idea is to make a draw with all the names of those who are going to participate and each one will get a name (which is not their own, otherwise you have to repeat it again) and they will be the ones to whom you have to give a gift.
There are also Secret Santa apps. They are very convenient, because you don't have to draw in person with a piece of paper, as was the traditional method. In the past, the Secret Santa draw was done by post. There are many ways to do it.
Why play Secret Santa
You may have heard of the Secret Santa game. This game is very popular, especially on dates as important as Christmas. However, in countries such as Colombia or Paraguay, it is played during the celebrations of International Friendship Day. Ideally, a small number of people should take part and a budget should be set for the game and a maximum per person. Below, we are going to talk a bit about how to organise the game and give you some ideas for Secret Santa for any budget whether you’re rich or poor.
The history of Secret Santa and it’s origins
It's not really clear. Some say it originated in Venezuela, others in Scandinavia and others in the USA. However, although it is not clear who is right, the truth is that it has become so popular that it has spread all over the world. The game involves several people giving anonymous gifts or letters to each other without knowing who has given each gift. Although there is no set number of participants, it is more convenient if it’s a smaller group as it will be difficult to guess who’s your secret santa with too many people in the game. It will also make it easier to organise and carry out. Ideally, the participants should know each other, so that the most common setting for this type of game is with friends or family. However, more and more companies are joining in with this type of game to strengthen the bonds between employees.
It is important to establish a minimum and maximum budget, so that there is not such a big difference in price between one gift and another. The usual cost of a secret santa gift would be around £5-£25 meaning that everyone will be able to participate in the secret santa game.. There are those who adjust it even more and set a maximum of ten quid for a Secret Santa gift. Although they can be made on any date, Christmas is usually the most common and usual time among family and friends to play secret santa. As it is a special date and, if the circle is smaller, the budget tends to be higher.
How to plan the Secret Santa raffle?
If you don't want to do the typical Secret Santa game, you can innovate it a bit. There are up to six different types: themed Secret Santa, solidarity secret santa, with clues, home made (nothing bought, everything done at home), stolen and invisible secret santa. Each one has different characteristics and established rules to make it more fun. Depending on the number of participants, the organisation can be more laborious. However, you can do the Secret Santa raffle in many ways. Some people opt for the typical bag with the names of each participant written on a small piece of paper. Others, for the sake of convenience, prefer to use mobile apps. It is essential that there is at least one person who coordinates the game, so that no name is left out and so that everyone knows who they have to give a gift to. If you opt for Secret Santa mobile applications, it is much more convenient so that you don't have to get the whole group together to carry out the draw. This type of application allows you to know instantly who you have to give a gift to, with no mistakes. In such a way that the next time you see the whole group, it will be the day of the gift-giving. Some people discover the identity of the gift-giver, others prefer to remain anonymous. Choose how you want to do it in advance so that there are no mistakes.
The best Secret Santa gifts
When it comes to finding the best gift, some people tend to opt for unisex Secret Santa gifts. It is a matter of taste, because once you already know the identity of the person you are giving, you can look for that gift that you have been looking for a long time or something that you know that can fit with that person. If you still don't know what gift to give for Secret Santa, we have some ideas for you to buy the perfect gift, depending on the budget set by the group:
