There are many ways to make Secret Santa more fun, such as:
Setting a theme for the gifts (e.g. DIY, food-related, nostalgic items, etc.).
Adding a game element, such as having participants play a game to determine the order in which they choose their gifts.
Creating a Secret Santa scavenger hunt, where participants have to search for their gifts.
Organizing a gift exchange party with festive decorations, food, and drinks.
Setting a price limit for the gifts and encouraging creativity and thoughtfulness.
Encouraging participants to write fun notes or jokes to accompany their gifts.
Adding a steal element to the gift exchange, where participants can steal each other's gifts.
Having participants guess who their Secret Santa is before revealing themselves.
