Why this exists

The only Secret Santa questionnaire that's actually digital.

Not a Google Form. Not a printed sheet. A living link that connects your participant's answers directly to their Santa's reveal card — automatically, without you doing anything.

📄
Printed form

Someone collects the papers. Someone re-types the answers. Someone loses a form. The organiser does all the work.

📊
Google Forms

Responses go into a spreadsheet you have to manage and match manually. No connection to the gift exchange itself.

This questionnaire

Each participant's answers live at their own link — and appear automatically on their Santa's reveal card. Zero manual work.

What's inside

Everything a Santa needs to know

Six sections. Participants fill in what's relevant to them — nothing is required. The whole thing takes under 2 minutes.

"No more 'I didn't know what size you were' or 'I wasn't sure if you liked that sort of thing.'"

The problem this solves

01
Gift Wishlist

Things they'd love, things to avoid, and hobbies that inspire gift ideas beyond the obvious. The most personal section.

02
Clothing Sizes

Shirt, pants, and shoe sizes. The fields everyone forgets to include but everyone needs — and nobody wants to ask for.

03
This or That Picks

8 quick A/B questions: Coffee vs Tea, Experiences vs Things, Practical vs Indulgent. One tap each. Surprisingly revealing.

04
Favourite Stores

Where they actually shop — online and local — so gifts land in a style they'll love rather than return.

05
Budget Hint

An optional checkbox range — under $20 through $80+ — that sets expectations without an awkward conversation.

06
Wishlist & Store Links

Paste clickable URLs from Amazon, Etsy, or any store. In the digital version, links are live. In the PDF, write-in lines.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What questions should be on a Secret Santa questionnaire?
+
A great questionnaire covers: (1) things you'd love to receive, (2) things to avoid, (3) clothing sizes, (4) favorite stores, (5) a budget hint, and (6) fun This or That preference picks. The free digital version here includes all of these plus a wishlist link field and icebreaker.
How do I send this to my whole group?
+
The organizer sets up the questionnaire and gets a single shareable fill link. Send it via text, WhatsApp, Slack, or email — each person fills in their own answers and gets a personal response link. Nothing to collect, no spreadsheets needed.
Can I use this without a full Secret Santa exchange?
+
Absolutely. Fill it out and share your link with anyone who needs to know what you'd like to receive — birthdays, wishlists, gift registries, or any occasion where someone wants to give you something you'll actually love.
Does my Secret Santa see my name when they view my answers?
+
They see the name you enter in the questionnaire — usually just a first name. The questionnaire doesn't reveal who your Santa is. That's handled separately by the gift exchange draw.
What are good This or That questions for Secret Santa?
+
The 8 in the survey are: Coffee vs Tea, Experiences vs Things, Sweet vs Savory, Home vs Adventure, Morning vs Night Owl, Books vs Podcasts, Minimalist vs Maximalist, Practical vs Indulgent. Together they paint a surprisingly accurate picture of someone's gift style in under a minute.
How does the import into the generator work?
+
After a participant submits their questionnaire, they get a personal response link. The organizer pastes that link into the Secret Santa Generator — gift preferences auto-populate on the participant's reveal card. Their Santa sees everything automatically, with no manual entry needed.
