Secret Santa Questionnaire Generator
Generates a Secret Santa questionnaire for participants to fill out: favorites, hobbies, gift preferences, dislikes, allergies, and optional sizes
About this generator
This tool generates a Secret Santa questionnaire: a numbered list of questions each participant fills out so whoever draws their name knows what to get them. Questions are grouped into favorites, hobbies and interests, gift style, things to avoid, and a few just-for-fun questions, and every questionnaire includes an allergy question and an "anything you would rather not receive" question. The group setting changes the questions. Office keeps them work-appropriate (desk upgrades, lunch spots, nothing too personal), Friends and Family add questions such as whether gag gifts are okay, and Kids uses simpler questions a child can answer with a grown-up. Set the length from 5 to 25 questions. Office draws from 48 questions, Friends from 53, Family from 53, and Kids from 25, and no question repeats within a questionnaire. Clothing sizes are optional and, when included, are added on top of the length you choose.
How to use
- Choose the group: Friends, Office, Family, or Kids.
- Decide whether to include clothing size questions.
- Set the number of questions (5 to 25) and click Generate.
- Copy the questionnaire into an email, chat, or form and send it to every participant.
- Draw names with the Secret Santa Generator and pass each giver their person's answers.
Use Cases
- •Sending a short questionnaire to coworkers before an office Secret Santa draw
- •Collecting wishlists from a friend group that does not know each other's tastes well
- •Making a family gift exchange easier for relatives who only see each other once a year
- •Printing simple question sheets for a classroom or kids' gift exchange
- •Adding an allergy and "no thanks" check so nobody receives something they cannot use
Tips
- →Send the questionnaire a week before the draw so everyone has answered by the time names go out.
- →Ask people to reply only to the organizer, so the answers can be passed along without spoiling who drew whom.
- →Remind everyone of the spending limit in the same message as the questionnaire.
- →Leave sizes off for office exchanges. Gloves, socks, and hats are safer than clothing anyway.
- →For kids, print the questionnaire and let them draw pictures next to their answers.
FAQ
what questions should be on a secret santa questionnaire
Cover four things: what the person likes (favorite colors, snacks, scents), what they do (hobbies, pets, sports), how they like gifts (practical or fun, things or experiences), and what to avoid (allergies, dislikes, things they already have too many of). Every questionnaire from this generator includes the allergy and "rather not receive" questions.
what should I ask coworkers for office secret santa
Keep it light and work-appropriate: favorite snack, coffee or tea, desk upgrades, lunch spots, and hobbies they are happy to share. The Office setting leaves out questions about home life and gag gifts. Clothing sizes are off by default, which is usually best at work.
how do I use this with a secret santa draw
Generate the questionnaire, paste it into an email, chat message, or shared form, and ask everyone to reply before the draw. Then run the draw with the Secret Santa Generator and send each giver the answers for the person they drew.
how many questions should a secret santa form have
Ten to twelve is a good length for most groups: enough to give useful ideas without feeling like homework. Use five to eight for a quick office exchange and up to twenty for a family or friend group that wants more detail.
