A personalized questionnaire can be the difference between ‘meh’ gifts and great ones. With this secret Santa form template, you can ask people what’s really on their wish lists, so they get something they’ll actually use.

This secret Santa questionnaire helps HR specialists and team leaders save bags of time and give team spirit a boost. It’s also great for busy teachers and professors. Send out this survey, gather responses in Google Sheets, get better gifts for your teams. Less work for you, more fun for your people.

Secret Santa can be tricky—especially for big teams and classes who don’t know each other super well. That’s why it’s important to ask what they like (and what they don’t) to give the secret Santa some ideas. Still stuck? Go ahead and use the template we’ve created for you.

Just because your team is working remotely, doesn’t mean you can’t have fun together.

• First up, pick a date that works for everyone and doesn’t clash with Christmas holidays—with secret Santa, more is definitely merrier.

• Next, decide on a budget. We’d always advise going lower, so more can participate (and the more creative people need to get)

• Create your typeform: or feel free to use our secret Santa form template.

• Connect Typeform with your most-used apps: so when responses roll in, they organize automatically.

• Pair up your secret Santas: you can do this manually, or use an online tool.

• Mail the gifts: remote employees will need to mail the gifts themselves. Offering to cover their postage is a nice touch—especially if your team is spread across the world.
