How to organise a Secret Santa office party
So, this is how it usually works: a few weeks before Christmas, office teams get together to draw names for the Secret Santa office party. This can be done in the old-fashioned way, by drawing names from a hat, or you can organize your Secret Santa online by using Draw Names. If you already have a list of names and/or email addresses, you can easily import them. The biggest advantage of using a Secret Santa generator is that there’s no chance of people getting their own name and you can’t lose the name you drew either.
What presents to get for the gift exchange
Once the names are drawn, it’s time to go shopping! What kind of presents you get each other depends on the company you work for. Some companies have a tradition of buying each other silly presents for the Secret Santa office party.
Others only allow presents from charity shops. And then there are the places where you’re supposed to buy thoughtful presents. This is why it’s a good idea to decide beforehand on what kind of gifts you’ll be getting each other. That will prevent people being disappointed.
Make (online) wish lists
A good way to make sure that everyone gets what they want, is to fill in wish lists. When you draw names on drawnames.com, you can also make a wish list to give your Secret Santa a few ideas on what to get. Secret Santa shopping can be loads of fun, but it can also be quite hectic. Want to avoid all the craziness? Buy your presents online. To make it even easier, use the drawnames gift finder to get Secret Santa ideas for work.
