Santa Evidence Kit

Of course, figuring out what clues to send is easier said than done. This is one case where you can’t simply steal a few ideas off of the internet. To do it right, you’ll want to fashion your own unique clues using key pieces of information about yourself.Obvious, right? In fact, revealing too much information is a common mistake Secret Santas make. You might be surprised at how seemingly minor details can give away the whole game, especially when pieced together with other clues.It’s no exaggeration to say that Secret Santa is one of the most popular Christmas activities around. And what makes it so much fun? Well, you probably don’t need three guesses for that.

It’s traditional to attach a token gift to your Secret Santa clues. This could be a holiday treat or something from the local dollar store. If you can make this little offering tie into your clue, you’re really playing Secret Santa at a high level.For inspiration, you can look at Christmas-themed poems that others have written. In particular, check out the ones for kids, as they’re cute, simple, and short – exactly what you’re aiming for.

On the other hand, this isn’t a competition (at least not a serious one). You don’t want to make your clue so obscure or vague that only your mom or best friend could possibly guess who you are. Make sure your clues, when combined, at least narrow the possibilities down to a couple of people.There are a couple of ways to do this. One is to simply refer to the gift in your written clue. Another, trickier option is to send a gift that effectively is a clue because it reflects your personality (just be mindful of Point One above!).

If possible, add some Christmas flavor to your Secret Santa clue. And no, I’m not talking about attaching a candy cane to it (although that’s not a bad idea). I’m talking about references to elves, reindeer, snowmen, caroling, Christmas trees, stockings, eggnog, and so on.If you do some brainstorming, you’ll quickly realize that there’s a virtually endless amount of material to work with. That’s because Christmas is associated with so many different characters, themes, and traditions. If you’re looking for ideas, you can start with these Christmas charades word lists.

Of course, a lot depends on how well the person knows you. If it’s a coworker you rarely interact with, you’ll have to make your Secret Santa hints fairly obvious. If, on the other hand, it’s a good friend who you talk to every day, make the clues tough – and try not to spill the beans!Since each gift-getter will receive an identical package, no one gets stuck with an undesirable gift, which makes mystery boxes a nice variation on the standard virtual Secret Santa. Each recipient should try to guess the identity of the gifter after opening the present. After opening all presents and revealing all Santas, you and your team can take a screenshot of the holiday haul. Tile Mate is a handy device that clips onto important objects, like keys, wallets, bags, or pet collars, and helps track your possessions via app. This handy technology saves time and grants peace of mind, and is especially useful when traveling.

Work from home employees might not face the sudden panic of “did I leave my charger at the office?!”, but the struggle to keep track of cords and plugs is still real. By gifting a spare charger, you ensure that your coworker always has a power source at hand. Plus, buying a cordless charging pad means that your colleague can avoid getting tangled in wires. The charge pad pictured above is universal and powers several devices, which means that you do not need to know the exact model of your coworker’s phone.

Herschel makes quality bags that merit higher price tags. On sale for around $20, the Ripstop Tote is a steal, and an ideal Secret Santa gift. The lightweight but durable tote is sure to last a long time, and the simple black design suits both sexes and all tastes. The bag sports a reflective side strip designed to catch light in darkness for extra visibility, making this tote an especially good choice for bike-riders.

Some good online Secret Santa ideas are to do do 1 on 1 gifts, or a party pack where participants can contribute to a gift box that gets sent out to everyone.Laugh all you want, but at my previous place of employment, socks were the most fought after gift at the yankee swap. A comfortable, sturdy pair of socks is a kid’s Christmas morning dread, but an adult’s Christmas dream.Recipients who abstain from alcohol can always repurpose the herbs for baked goods, cosmetics, or aromatherapy. However, if these ideas do not appeal to your coworkers, Uncommon Goods also sells Salsa Grow Kits and Balance & Tranquility Grow Kits.

In offices, sneaky Secret Santas can spy by peeking at desks or asking around for gift ideas. Remote reconnaissance is much harder. You can try to snoop online on social media, but there is a much better way to determine the perfect gift.Humidifiers add moisture to the air, preventing dry skin and alleviating breathing difficulties. A good humidifier can freshen up a home office by filtering out allergens like dust and covering up unpleasant odors. The pictured model features a polar bear in a color-changing chamber to add a sense of whimsy that makes this pragmatic item a delightful present.

Moleskine notebooks are classy and versatile presents. Your recipient can use the journal as a planner, diary, sketchbook, grocery list, bullet journal, or notepad. Many models even include a pocket for spare scraps of paper like sticky notes or scrawled-on napkins, helping your lucky gift-receiver stay even more organized. The covers come in a variety of patterns, so pick one that suits your colleague’s tastes and personality. A quality pen, like Sakura pens, rounds out the present.

This coffee gift set includes goodies for both humans and canine companions. Each box contains Puppy Paws Husky Holiday coffee blend, which you can swap for any other flavor, and dog treats that are snickerdoodle-flavored and one shaped like a festive green ball. The dog cookies look surprisingly scrumptious, so you may want to gently remind your coworker that the snickerdoodles are for the pup. Best of all, the Puppy Paws company donates half of all net profits to animal charities.MunchPak is a subscription box service that sends recipients snacks from around the world. You can opt for a one-time delivery as a gift, and choose the size of the assortment, too. Each box contains a mix of sweet and salty snacks, with an occasional drink thrown in. The mixture is a great gift for your wanderlust and hunger-afflicted colleagues who enjoy new tastes from time to time. You could even ask your teammates to review treats during virtual team snack breaks.

Virtual Secret Santa is an online gift exchange themed toward Christmas. Each participant is assigned a gift-recipient and then purchases and sends a gift by mail to that person. For example, you might send a cool kitchen gadget or a book, and then gather online via Zoom or other electronic method for the openings. The purpose of this event is to build connections and celebrate the holidays remotely. These virtual gift exchanges are also known as “online Secret Santa”, “digital Secret Santa” or “remote Secret Santa.”

We also have a list of fun Christmas icebreaker games, a list of care packages ideas for employees and a list of the best social distance team building activities for work.Every office falls victim to the impromptu “has anyone seen my keys?” scavenger hunt once or twice a year. Even virtual offices are not immune to the delays of scatterbrained coworkers. More than one Zoom meeting has likely started late because the host was busy searching for their glasses or toddler. These online holiday activities help remote team members connect and learn more about each other’s interests and preferences and enable dispersed teams to enjoy holiday fun from afar. When taking sign-ups for online Secret Santa, you should gather wish lists along with names. Participants can recommend a few broad gift categories such as “chocolate,” “travel accessories,” or “sports merchandise.” Teammates should also specify any other important information such as clothing sizes, food allergies, or team fandom. This approach gives gifters a guide to consider when deciding what to get without eliminating the fun of choosing a present. Truff is ideal for foodies who enjoy flavor with heat. The sauce boasts a blend of hot peppers and black truffle extracts for a complicated flavor profile that still surprisingly adds to almost any meal. The sauce is also available in variations, like “white truffle” and “hotter.” To help your recipient think up delicious dishes to smother in Truff hot sauce, send them the company’s kitchen page, which is full of recipes. About eight times a day, my cat tries to sit on my laptop. If, like me, your remote colleague faces constant pet invasions, then a catapult kit might come in handy to defend their desk. The kit contains pre-cut pieces, glue, and easy-to-understand instructions, so your coworker can have fun assembling the weapon and using it. Plus, the toy is a replica of Leonardo da Vinci’s machine, so building it is a mini-history lesson, too!Exploding Kittens is a card game version of Russian Roulette that weaponizes cats instead of bullets. The object of the game is to avoid drawing an exploding kitten card. Unlucky players who get an exploding kitten must exit the game, unless equipped with a defense, such as a laser pointer or cat therapy card. Pig-a-corns and all-seeing goat wizards also help players in their quest to be the last player standing. This cutthroat strategy game is a hit with adults but is kid-friendly, too, making it easy to learn for all ages.

These name picking tools simplify the process of generating pairs, but if your team prefers not to enter information into a third party site, then you can manage the wishlist and signup process via Google Sheets.

Reusable straws were the hottest piece of swag at the last corporate retreat I attended. As the public grows more environmentally conscious, more folks ditch disposable plastic straws for reusable models. Metal straws are the standard, and the Ello straws pictured above come in four fun colors and include a cleaning brush. The straws are BPA free and worth about a hundred sea turtle smiles. Popular chains such as Target also carry the product.

A portable travel router is an ideal gift for the digital nomad coworker, who prefers to wander while working. The model pictured here is cost-effective and comes in a sunny yellow that adds a splash of personality to this practical item.Latte and cappuccino consumption tends to go way down when working from home, thanks to the lack of proximity to the local coffee shop. While this limited access is good for our wallets, it is not as pleasing for our palettes. This year, give your colleague the gift of artisan coffee straight from the kitchen by gifting a milk frother. This motorized tool is simple to use and whips up milk foam in as quickly as 20 seconds. With this gift, your coworker can flaunt the perfect flat white during your next virtual coffee break.

Figuring out how to do a secret Santa online may seem complicated, but the virtual gift exchanges are actually very easy to execute. All you need is set a budget and date, collect recommendations, match participants using a name picker or generator, mail gifts, and then enjoy the fruits of your efforts.All participants will wait until the day of your virtual gift exchange to unwrap the packages on a virtual meeting platform like Zoom or WebEx. You can make the remote Secret Santa part of your online holiday party and can play other virtual holiday games during the call.Bombas socks have reinforced seams, moisture-wicking fabric, and color patterns that hide wear and tear. The design also boasts extra cushion and a pleasing honeycomb pattern. Plus, for every pair you buy, the company donates a pair to a homeless shelter, making this present two gifts in one!Mystery Box Secret Santas require logistics and organization, but nonetheless is a neat spin on the standard Secret Santa game. Instead of buying one gift for a single teammate, participants purchase multiples of a small gift to send to the whole team.Some folks are fidgety. I myself am guilty of restlessness and struggle to sit still, whether I am at my home office or in a public space. If you have anxious or easily stressed remote colleagues, then a fidget pen may be a welcome gift. The kind pictured above has multiple movable parts, such as clickers, a rolling ball, and a spin disk, so the recipient can fiddle with whatever feature feels most comfortable. At the same time, the device is sleek enough to draw little attention from unknowing bystanders. Even if your teammate needs no help maintaining constant zen, this pen is fun to play with.

The first step to any digital Secret Santa is to set a budget. A range of $20-$30 is standard, and you can adjust the price higher or lower depending on your team’s preferences. You should decide the budget before you announce the activity, and you can pick a date for the virtual gift exchange before or after the announcement.

Though Secret Santa may function differently in a remote office, the basic rules still apply. Typically, Secret Santa is an optional activity. Since participants buy gifts out of pocket, your employees should still be able to choose to participate. You could also provide a stipend to encourage more participation. Chances are, most of your team will want to join the fun, but any opt-outs can always watch the gift exchange.Virtual Secret Santa is a virtual gift exchanges, where participants mail a present to an assigned recipient. Pairs are a secret until after the unwrapping, which typically happens during a web conference call or virtual holiday party. These events are also commonly known as “online secret Santa”, “remote secret Santa” or “digital secret Santa.” Less common names include “Zoom secret Santa” and “electronic secret Santa.”

Of course, the magic doesn’t last forever. At some point — and, for many parents, this point comes too soon — your child will begin to question Santa’s existence.

This doesn’t mean you have to jump in and tell them the whole story. Instead, you might ask a few questions back. Ask, “What makes you ask that?” or “What do you think about that?” It’s okay to let kids form their own conclusions. So don’t be surprised if your child starts asking questions. You might not get a direct question like, “Is Santa real?” But you may get questions like, “How do reindeer fly?” or “How does Santa make it all around the world in one night?” Take cues from them and their understanding of the world. Usually, somewhere between the ages of five and seven kids begin to think a little more critically. And it occurs to them that flying reindeer and a guy coming down the chimney might be a little far fetched.When your child first starts asking questions, your instinct might be to reassure them that Santa is real and his magic powers help him defy logic. Even though you probably don’t lie to your kids often, you might be tempted to stretch the truth in an effort to spare them pain. After all, you don’t want to “ruin” Christmas for them. But, if they’re asking questions, they want to know the truth. And you won’t harm them by being honest.

Some families talk about the spirit of Christmas still being alive or dive into the true meaning of Christmas. Other parents tell kids that Christmas is all about giving, and now that they know the truth about Santa, their job is to become Santa to someone else (this makes giving a part of their future tradition).

Whether you’re writing letters to Santa or reading books about reindeer, your child’s excitement can make the holiday season feel magical when they still believe in Santa.

Just know that you don’t have to crush your child’s spirit and make all the magic disappear. Instead, you can make Christmas more about kindness and giving rather than reindeer and red suits. You may also want to emphasize that not everyone knows “the secret” yet. So discourage your child from making the announcement at school.Regardless of who believes in Santa, the true magic of Christmas has to do with your beliefs, and that includes your belief about your child’s knowledge of Santa. If you believe Christmas won’t be fun now that your child knows the truth, your Grinch-like spirit could drag your mood (and perhaps everyone else’s) down.

You might start to worry if it’s time to spill the beans. After all, you don’t want your child to get made fun of for believing that Santa will come down the chimney when they’re a teenager. So how soon should you tell your kids the truth about Santa? It’s a question parents often ask me in my therapy office.

Whether you start a new tradition that involves giving gifts to those in need or you allow your child to buy secret gifts for another family member, a different kind of holiday might be even more fun than you imagine.

You might find yourself at a loss for words about how to respond or you might find yourself in a rare situation: Your child never asks about Santa. Even after they’ve passed the age when most kids figure it out, they still seem to buy into the guy in the red suit.

What kid doesn’t love Santa’s reindeer? If you don’t live in a snowy environment where you can make hoof prints as evidence of the reindeer’s’ presence, no worries! Consider leaving behind traces of reindeer food, or even an entire bottle or bag, outside your home. Just mix together oats and glitter for a magical reindeer concoction.
