What is a Secret Santa questionnaire?
A Secret Santa questionnaire (also called a gift survey or Secret Santa form) is a set of questions sent to participants before a gift exchange. Everyone fills in their sizes, wishlist links, favourite stores, and quick This-or-That picks like Coffee vs Tea. The organiser shares one link, everyone fills it in, and each Santa sees their person's answers automatically — no guessing required.
