Secret Global Santa – Swap Gifts with a Stranger!

This Christmas gift retailer Firebox is attempting to set a record for the world’s biggest Secret Santa event.

Secret Santa is the tradition of swapping gifts anonymously amongst groups of friends or workmates. For Global Secret Santa, customers choose something from a selection of Firebox stuff, add a message, and it’s sent to another participant somewhere in the world. In return they’ll get a gift back. A sticker is put on the outside of the Secret Santa gift package, so you can wait until Christmas to open it.

Another cool feature is that customers won’t be matched with someone with the same postcode- so if your whole office did decide to take part, you could get a gift from someone in Alaska not just Accounts. Products you can send include a key shaped bottle opener, classic Airfix toy soldiers and..er…chocolate covered ants. Firebox has had people from 19 different countries take part so far. It costs £9 to take part, which includes the shipping cost to anywhere in the world.
