We used to have an ornament exchange which limited the type of gift you could receive. It worked great.
The safest bet would be the gift cards since they can use it to shop for themselves. Lol. But luckily most secret Santas that I’ve joined have a theme so it’s easy to look for gifts.
These are all good ideas, especially the tech gloves!
Gift cards are my option, I love giving my family and friends gift cards.
I like buying gift cards for a lot of my family members because then they can get what they want that they didn’t get at christmas.
This is so helpful. Secret santa parties always make our holidays difficult because it’s tricky to buy for someone you work with that you don’t REALLY know well. We’ve had a few hits and a LOT of misses. This certainly helps!
I need a new tech friendly gloves. The one I got last year is already worn out.
