Questions
What's a normal Secret Santa budget?
Most groups pick between $15 and $30. Offices tend to go lower and close families sometimes go higher. Agree on it before anyone shops.
What if I don't know my person well?
Go for something consumable or cozy, like good coffee, chocolate or warm socks, or ask them an anonymous question through their wish list.
Should a Secret Santa gift be a surprise?
The surprise is who gave it, not what it is. Buying from someone's wish list is perfectly fine.
