If you're planning a Secret Santa party, it's your responsibility to ensure it's perfect, and a lot of fun for everyone. Here is a list of questions for a party.
Please Remember!
These questions are solely meant to know more about a person's likes and dislikes, and should not be used in a way that will hurt or offend anyone.
The Secret Santa custom is indeed a lot of fun, the surprises, the secret shopping, sending gifts anonymously, and then finding out who your Secret Santa is, all makes for a wonderful and joyous Christmas tradition.
However, it can get a little difficult to shop for someone whose tastes and choices you don't really know very well, which might be the case in a workplace, or in an extended family. At such times, a questionnaire comes to the rescue.
Using a list of questions for Secret Santa ensures that each person buys a great gift for the person he/she has picked, and it ensures that no gifts go to waste. You can create a list of questions applicable to that group, and give it to each person a couple of days before the party.
Each participating member will then fill the questionnaire, and at the party, will read out their answers and opinions in front of everyone. You can do this either before or after each Secret Santa is assigned―it will probably depend upon the group itself.
Each person picks up a random chit of paper that contains someone else's name on it, and the game begins! You get a stipulated time period during which you have to send your Secret Santa gift to the person you've picked, anonymously. At the end of the period, there's a party where everyone reveals their identities! That does seem like fun, doesn't it?
Here's a list of questions for a Secret Santa party, remember to choose only the ones which you think are applicable for the group of people you're doing the Secret Santa gift exchange with! Have fun!
