Secret Santa Toolkit: Order & Gift Ideas for a Stress-Free Reveal

Need a smooth Secret Santa or White Elephant? Use a wheel to pick the draw order, grab budget-friendly gift ideas, and add light reveal games—no signup, works on mobile, and keeps things fair.

Gift exchanges get messy when order feels biased or people freeze on ideas. A few quick spins solve both: one wheel for order, one for gift prompts, and a fun wheel for reveals. Below is a three-step setup you can run in minutes, great for office parties, friends, family, and remote calls.

Step 1: Randomize the Draw or Opening Order

Use the Secret Santa Order Wheel to pick who draws or opens gifts first. It’s transparent, quick, and stops the “you go first” back-and-forth.

  • One spin per slot: Spin to pick the next person, announce it, and remove them from the list.
  • Great for hybrid/remote: Screen-share the wheel so everyone sees it live.
  • White Elephant ready: Use the same wheel to set the pick/open order for swaps.

Step 2: Spin for Gift Ideas by Budget & Recipient

When people don’t know what to buy, the Holiday Gift Ideas Wheel gives a clear prompt: budget + interest. Spin once, then shop against that filter.

“Tech under $50” → earbuds, smart plug, charger set
“Cozy home under $25” → candle set, throw, cocoa kit
“Office-safe funny” → desk toy, mug, mini game
“Kids STEM” → science kit, building set, puzzle

Tip: set a 10-minute timer after spinning so people commit fast and avoid endless browsing.

Step 3: Add a Fun Reveal or Game Prompt

Keep energy high with a quick prompt from the Christmas Wheel. Spin once before each reveal to set the vibe.

“Give three clues before revealing”
“Share a holiday joke”
“Sing one line of a carol”
“Pass your gift once left, once right before opening”
