Hawkin Bazaar for great Secret Santa gifts
I love Hawkin Bazaar as it's packed with many wondrous gifts that I want for myself. This means its easy to find some great gift ideas for all your friends and family. Their price ranger is brilliant with some very cheap gifts available they allow you to search for gifts under 50p. It's ideal for buying stocking fillers and secret santa gifts for everyone you know. It's a great place to buy presents for the whole family. So what's the secret santa thing all about? Its been about for a few years and has increased in popularity as more people have heard of it. You put all the names in a hat and everyone pulls out a name and that's who they buy a gift for. It's a good way of avoiding having to buy everyone in the office or works a gift - as instead you buy just one small gift for one person - as does everyone else. It's great when you're on a budget and as times get harder cutting back on spending gets more prevalent then you'll find this fun way of gift giving will be more popular. How to organise it - simple, just ask everyone where you work if they think it's a good idea and then write everyones name on a bit of paper - put them in a tin and get everyone together to pull out a name. Everyone should have a name to pull out - if they don't you've done it wrong! Double check you've got the right number of names and with people with the same forename put an initial or surname on to make it easy to know who's buying for who. The idea is for the gift to be within price limits - usually £5 or £10 - but this has to be agreed. Then the gifts are wrapped by the person who buys them and clearly labeled. You then distribute the gifts before Christmas and everyone has to open them in front of each other. Secret Santas are great fun - you can spend as much time as you want picking out something silly or funny or mad! But as long as the limit on the price is stuck to it's a very fair way of gift buying. It's also funny when you have to think about buying gifts for people who you don't know very well. It's also good for morale as everyone gets a pressie at Christmas and no one feels left out! Secret Santas have been mentioned in popular TV shows like House where
Dr House is the only recipient of the secret santa he's planned, and
in Friends episode - 'The One with Chandler in a Box' which involves
the friends negotiating who to have for their secret santas whilst Chandler
is depressed about splitting up with his girlfriend and is stuck in
a large box.
