How to Play Mystery Santa at Work
Secret Santa, which is sometimes referred to as ‘Mystery Santa,’ is the perfect (and affordable) way to celebrate Christmas at work without having to buy each individual colleague a gift of their own. The aim of Secret Santa is to draw names at random and to buy that person a gift without letting them know that it is you. Plus, it is a whole lot cheaper than buying for everyone!
Before you draw names, Secret Santas can be given a wish list of gift ideas to help them choose a gift their giftee would love. But if no wish list has been provided, then it is up to you to find the perfect Secret Santa gift for them.
Do some of your team work remotely? You don’t have to be in the office to draw names physically, you can use online Secret Santa generators to pick names at random and email participants which colleague they’ve got.
