3 Fun variations of Secret Santa

Tired of the same dynamic every year? Innovating the rules of secret santa can bring new life and lots of laughs to your holiday party.

The 'White Elephant' (or Yankee Swap) is a favorite for troublemakers. Gifts are bought generically and wrapped to hide their shape. On your turn, you can choose a wrapped gift from the table or steal an opened gift from someone who played before you!

Another awesome variation is the 'Secret Enemy' (or Gag Gift Exchange), focused on funny, ironic gifts or knick-knacks you have at home and want to pass on. The goal here isn't material value, but the creativity of the joke.
