How to choose for a secret santa pick
- Stick closely to the exchange's spending limit, since going far over or under can feel awkward.
- Ask a coworker or friend who knows them for one hint about hobbies or interests.
- Favour things that work for almost anyone, like a card game for the break room or a small desk gadget.
- Include a gift receipt so they can swap it without any awkwardness.
Usually safe to skip
- Strongly scented products, since fragrance tastes are very personal and hard to guess.
- Edgy joke gifts that could offend someone whose sense of humour is unknown.
- Niche hobby gear, unless there's solid evidence they actually play or collect.
