Secret Santa at Work

Last year was my first time and I was not too pleased with receiving gifts that were clearly "re-gifted" or "second-handed" (maybe "third-handed"?).  Don't get me wrong.... I don't mind re-gifted or second-hand gifts if they are something on my wishlist or things that are clearly "me".  Last year's gifts were clearly not tailored towards me.

How it works: Participants fill out a generic survey of things they like -- hot/cold drinks, Christmas type items, scents, things we collect.  Then for four days, we give our Secret Santa recipient a small gift worth $1-2.  On Day 5, we all get together to give a $10 gift and try to guess who our Secret Santa is.

So this year, even though I was a bit iffy... I decided to bite the bullet and I once again participated in the Secret Santa Exchange at work.

My partner paid attention to my questionaire

and gave me things along those themes.

I liked everything :)

I will probably do this again next year!
