I have done it before but it has been a long time. I do understand what you mean about it being hard to shop for a man that has everything. Gosh I have a hard time even shopping for my father because he has everything he wants and needs and is so picky.

We did Secret Santa one year at the last place I worked.  I enjoyed it very much and I think everyone else did too.

we do secret santa each year with my husbands family.  it is fun to see which person got you and what they think would make the perfect gift for you.

My workplace use to do this in the past, but as our department broken up and now my own department is spread all over the country now, we no longer do this.  I do exhange gifts with close colleagues, but this isn't a secret santa.

We did this in high school with a close group of friends, and it was a lot of fun. Haven't tried after that.

I think I've only done it twice. Once when I was 10 and it was for my class in school. We all bought random "prizes" and each one was assigned a number, then numbered pieces of paper went into a bowl and each student drew a number and you got which ever prize matched. Come to think of it, I'm not even sure this was for Christmas. lol I did a secret Santa at work several years ago. Everyone was given a slip of paper with someone's name on it. Each person also was given a sheet of paper so we could write down some things about ourselves and ideas so our secret Santa's could learn more about the person they received if they weren't familiar with each other. Then whenever you got the gift for them, you gave it to them as soon as possible then they could either open it then or save it until Christmas. I'm not really fond of the idea, because it's hard to figure out what I want let alone trying to get something for someone you might not even know (or maybe can't afford anything on their list).

I don't really like secret santa because there's so much pressure to get the best gift ever and look good.

I used to do them at school, but not anymore. I had some friend who was assigned to give me a present for secret santa. One the day of the exchange, he told me, "Oh, what do you want?" I gave him no response and never got a present.

I have never did a secret santa.  I would usually know what the kid may want and then I buy it for Christmas.
