It’s nearly Christmas, and we all know that means Christmas parties. I don’t know about you but ever since I can remember, I have been doing a classroom secret Santa. I absolutely love giving presents out to people because I love to make people smile and show I care. I always try to make sure the gift is perfect for whom I am giving it to. However, sometimes it’s hard to do gift exchanges because you may get someone you don’t know so well. Skip the boring old gift card and try some of these ideas that I have made for you.

Someone you don’t know that well
Girl: Makeup, hair accessories, jewellery or beauty Products
Guy: Candy (you can never go wrong with that), a cool hat, earphones/headphones, phone cases
Sporty person
If you know their favorite team or player; get them a team personalized accessory such as a watch or hat.
If you don’t know their team: Fancy water bottles, workout clothes, cool shoelaces, soccer ball, basketball, birdies.
Artsy person
Watercolors/pastel sets, canvases (you can never have too many), a journal, tickets to a school drama production, stationary, tea mugs.
Music lover
Headphones/earphones, band t-shirts (if you know who they like), guitar picks, guitar straps, drum sticks, music bag.
Inner Geek
Novelties from their fandom, such as coffee mugs, shirts, bobble heads and more. Comic books, styluses for DS, fan books, documentaries, movie tickets.
Here’s a few tips on getting the best response out of your gifts:
– Try giving them small, silly gifts each week leading up to the event and end with a final larger gift.
– Keep it anonymous while giving them the gift, that way it is more mysterious and and fun because they’ll never know who gave it to them.
– Have fun with the presentation, wrap it in old comics from newspapers, add a bow, wrap it really nice, it will make the gift seem more personalized.
Most importantly, have fun giving rather than receiving. That’s what Christmas is about, right?
