Best christmas website ever . . . or at least for its purpose

Posted on 13/12/2011 at 5:56 pm by admin 2 Comments

So here at the office we do a “Secret Santa” every year. This year i didn’t feel like doing the traditional “names in a hat / Quality Street tin” trick, it only leads to people picking a name, deciding they don’t really know their colleagues tastes overly well, or “I had them last year” and then throwing the name back in and selecting someone else.

SCROOGES!!!!

Play the game or don’t join in!!!

So this year I found this funky little site called Secret Santr.

The site allow you to “add” friends, (so everyone who is playing your lovely, merry and fun Secret Santa game) first name, last name and email address.

Set up the spend budget

Add a personalised message that will go out to everyone along with their allocation (date of Secret Santr event is as I found a key bit of data to include in this section)

And then the final step, SEND.

Secret Santr will then randomly pair up your friends and send them an email, showing who they have got, the budget and the personal message.

This way there are no “swapsies” and no complaining, not that anyone here at ICUK complains about anything you understand.

Anyway, Secret Santa all sewn up and i can get on with the buying.
