Tips for Secret Santa
- Stay under the limit by checking shipping needs early, and order a few days ahead.
- Pick one item, not a bundle, so it feels intentional.
- Avoid items with strong brand preferences unless you are sure.
- Write a short note, even if the gift is anonymous.
What to Avoid
Do not guess a car brand unless you know it. A neutral item is safer than the wrong badge.
