Questions people ask

What should I put on a Secret Santa questionnaire?

The most useful answers are specific: a favorite snack brand, a scent, a sports team, a size. 'Anything you definitely don't want' is just as helpful, because it stops someone buying a candle for a person who hates candles.

How do I share it with my group?

Fill it in and press 'Copy my answers', then paste into your group chat or email. For the office, print a blank copy and pin it up, or send everyone this page.

Can I print a blank Secret Santa form?

Yes. Leave the fields empty and press Print. The buttons are hidden on the printed page.
