Just this past year, I needed a Secret Santa gift idea when my husband's family tried out a form of the Secret Santa gift exchange. In the end, we did reveal our identities to each other, so the secrets were out. It turned out to be a fun way to exchange gifts because I put all my energy into finding a special gift for one person, instead of scrambling to come up with a gift for every family member. The way we did it, we each put our name on a slip of paper and every person drew one of the papers out of a bag. Whatever name you drew, you became that person's Secret Santa. As most people do, we set a low price limit and everyone pretty much stuck to it. We all saved money and everyone got a nice gift!
The 25 Secret Santa gift ideas I have listed are good for co-workers, family, small groups, school mates or any group. They cost between five to twenty dollars. Have fun with your Secret Santa gift exchange!
