When you draw a name you barely know, a few answers make shopping much easier. Ask everyone to answer a few of these in a group chat, or collect the answers yourself and type a short version after each name as a gift hint.
The quick five
Whatâs a small thing youâd treat yourself to but never buy?
Coffee, tea, or something else?
Favorite snack or sweet?
Any allergies or things you donât eat or use?
What are you into right now (a hobby, show, game, sport)?
If you want a little more
Whatâs your favorite color or scent? (or âno scents, pleaseâ)
Is there something youâve been wanting under the budget?
What would make your desk, kitchen, or couch nicer?
Something youâd never want to receive?
Do you prefer useful, funny, or cozy?
How to share the answers
In PickMySanta, add the answer after each name with a colon, like Alex: loves coffee, no scents. The hint shows up only when that personâs giver reveals their match, so nobody else sees it.
