🎁 How to Host the Perfect Secret Santa with the Wichtel App
Snow sparkles in the lamplight, cinnamon and vanilla fill the air – it’s Secret Santa time! This year, the Wichtel App makes drawing names simple, fun, and full of Christmas magic. 🎄✨
Outside, snow glistens in the lamplight, the scent of cinnamon and vanilla lingers in the air, and somewhere a Christmas playlist is softly playing.
Inside, mugs are clinking – it’s that time again: Secret Santa time!
Every year, the same chaos: “Who picked who again?” or “Wait, I had it written down… oh no!”
But this year is different – this year, the Wichtel App is here to help. 🎅✨
🎄 The Idea
It all began when Anna sighed over coffee one December afternoon:
“Can we please make Secret Santa less stressful this year? Last time I accidentally drew my own name!”
Everyone laughed – until someone said:
“Why not go digital this time? There’s an app for that…”
And just like that, the group was created – no paper slips, no confusion.
🎁 The Preparation
Setting up the group in the app took only minutes:
- 📅 Date: December 16, 7 PM
- 💰 Budget: €15
- 📝 Message: “Please bring cookies, good vibes, and warm socks!”
Then came the names: Anna, Max, Lea, Tom, Sarah, and Paul.
Even Grandma joined – by email, since she lives too far away.
And for the couples, the Anti-Secret Santa option was activated – so no one drew their sweetheart. ❤️
📱 The Big Draw
At the get-together, the phone was passed around.
Each person slid the bar – “I’m Lea” – and secretly read:
“You’re giving a gift to Tom.”
Giggles, knowing smiles – and then it was the next person’s turn.
Those who couldn’t attend received their result by email.
Paul even shared the link with his sister on WhatsApp. 🔗
✨ The Big Night
Two weeks later, the big evening arrived.
The tree sparkled, the playlist played (of course “All I Want for Christmas…”), and a mountain of wrapped gifts filled the room.
One by one, everyone gave their gifts – laughter, hugs, small surprises.
No one had to whisper, “Wait… who did I have again?”
By the end, everyone agreed:
It was the most relaxed and joyful Secret Santa ever. ❤️
🎅 Conclusion
Whether at home, in the office, or across countries –
the Wichtel App makes every Secret Santa simple, fun, and full of Christmas cheer.
Because sometimes, the best part of giving isn’t the gift itself –
but the smile it brings. 🎁✨
