Office Secret Santa in 3 steps
- Create a group with the budget and the date of your holiday party.
- Send the group link to your team via Teams, Slack or email.
- When sign-up closes, names are drawn automatically – nobody has to remember.
Why use Wichtelrunde at work?
Nobody needs an account or an email address. We only store the names people enter and delete the group automatically after the party – which keeps things simple on the privacy side, too.
With the automatic draw, nobody has to keep track of whether everyone has joined. Late joiners can still sign up any time before the draw.
Budget and rules for office Secret Santa
At work, €10 to €15 has proven itself – enough for a nice little something without making anyone uncomfortable. Popular variants are a kitsch Secret Santa for laughs at the party or the classic version with notes like “no food please”.
Tips for a great office Secret Santa
- Communicate the budget clearly – Wichtelrunde shows it to everyone.
- Allow wish lists so fewer dust collectors end up on desks.
- Hand over gifts anonymously, e.g. under the office tree.
- For remote teams: exchange gifts on a video call and send them by post.
