Chances are you’re participating in a Secret Santa this year. And those can always be a little tricky!!! There is a fine line between a pointless gift and a thoughtful one. And blurred even more so is the line between a gift that’s “needed” and one that’s “wanted” (I battle this distinction on a daily basis). But after creating my own holiday wish list, I found a little more clarity. Most Secret Santa exchanges set a cap on the gift at about $25. But, when people really “need” something and it costs $25 or less, they typically just buy it. So it’s good to look for things that you know they’d love, but that they probably don’t need. Rather, that they’d never rationalize getting for themselves. I’m also a big fan of getting creative and seeing how far I can stretch a dollar within the same theme. So it’s good to look for deals that go hand-in-hand!! Gift #3 is a gift I’ve actually given in a Secret Santa (okay… twice!) and it was LOVED!!!!
