FAQs
What do you write on a secret Santa gift tag?
Write something funny and make the tag interesting to look at! This will ensure your gift stands out amongst all the others. Make sure your message includes the name of the person you're buying a gift for too. By doing that, Santa will know exactly who their Secret Santa gift is meant for. You can even put in some new, comical catchphrases, and we sure do hope the above-mentioned ideas will help you out.
What do you say when giving Christmas gifts?
The best Secret Santa messages are funny, cute and/or a bit sinister. They make the recipient laugh or at least smile, but even better if you can give them an early Xmas gift. Our usual suggestion is to keep things short and sweet. If you're spending a ton of time thinking about the perfect Secret Santa message, maybe it's time to reassess your priorities? Instead, focus on picking out an amazing gift for them.
How do you announce a Secret Santa?
Depending on your preferences, you can set up Secret Santa announcements through email, text, or even a physical letter. Just be sure to clearly communicate what rules and regulations you have for the activity, as well as how many people are participating. On Ricotta games and trivia, you can play Secret Santa within Slack with just a click of a button.
How do you respond to an unexpected gift?
If you receive a Secret Santa gift, respond to the sender with an appropriate message. You can be friendly, thank them for the gift, or just simply state how you didn't expect one. Remember that there is no right way to react to a gift. Just be creative with your messaging and have fun with it and appreciate the thought that someone put into choosing a gift for you—you might come away with a new favorite thing because of it!
A few prompts to help you out:
Add a salutation in the beginning: "Hope you are enjoying the holidays"
"This book will make a great weekend read for me, I will now have to cancel party plans :P"
"Love this shirt, it fits perfectly with my wardrobe style"

How do I thank my Secret Santa?
Basically, the act of writing a thank you letter/mail/message to them is a chance to show how grateful you are and why they stood out above all others. It's also a chance to make your Secret Santa feel appreciated and acknowledged. You can go over the top with big gifts or small tokens in the end though it doesn't really matter what you give as long as it brings a smile to their face. The next step is to spend some time chatting with your Santa, so you can get a real sense for who they are. Secret Santa can serve as an icebreaker to get to know your colleagues better.
