What to give a colleague for Secret Santa

In our country, the "Secret Santa" tradition has appeared recently and is actively gaining momentum. This is a very convenient way to congratulate everyone in the team without leaving anyone unattended. The essence of such a game is that you buy a gift for someone from the team, but the recipient will not know who this "Secret Santa" is. On the eve of a rally, participants in such a game write their wishes, a name or a few words about themselves to make it easier for Santa to choose a gift and throw their wish into a hat or box. Then everyone pulls out a wish and buys a gift. So you become that "Secret Santa". Before the day of presenting gifts, all "Santas" bring their gifts secretly and leave them under the tree or in a designated place, indicating who the gift is for. Then everyone takes their gift or presents gifts to someone else.
It is not the gift itself that is important here, but the atmosphere of giving gifts and preparation for such a magical game.

                                          
You can also play this game in a slightly different way: everyone buys a gift that is suitable for both boys and girls, the gift should be universal and suitable for any age. All bring gifts on the appointed day and are given away by lot or by drawing names from a box or hat. It is also important to bring a gift in secret, while you yourself will not know who will get your gift.
Choose the most suitable option for your friendly team.
There is one BUT in this game! If your team is conflicted or you work little together and don't know each other very well, you shouldn't start Secret Santa, it will only aggravate the situation.
An important issue in organizing such a game is to determine the budget for a gift. It is worth starting from the salaries of employees, undoubtedly it is different for everyone, but you need to agree on the amount of the gift in advance so as not to offend anyone.
We have prepared for you a list of the most frequently purchased gifts that are definitely suitable for such an exciting game.

What gifts shouldn't you give? 

• Not everyone in the team equally perceives humor and understands jokes. Surely there is at least one humorist in your office who makes fun of everyone and "hunts" jokes whenever possible, but even he may be offended by a T-shirt with a stupid print or a joke about it. Gifts with humor can be given to someone who will definitely appreciate and will not be offended by Santa.
• You shouldn't give worn-out candles, unnecessary statues, soft toys and similar gifts from the series "the main thing is not a gift, but attention." Such gifts as a suitcase without a handle, it is a pity to throw them away, but there is no need to store them either. Such a gift can be bought if you are directly informed about it in a wish.
• It is also worth considering the recipient's lifestyle. For example, a vegan humorist will be very amused by a smoked chicken in a gift, but he will not eat it. A lighter or ashtray is also not a universal gift for everyone in the team.
• Cosmetics or perfumes are also not worth giving to colleagues, as each one has individual characteristics and you can miscalculate with such a seemingly cool gift.
• Tickets for the premiere. If you know that everyone in your team simply adores going to the ballet or to the films with Vin Diesel - then the option of a gift with tickets to a cinema or to a performance will be a win-win. But if your team is very versatile and you do not know the tastes of your colleagues, you should not risk buying tickets, pick up some other gift.
