True story: Secret Santa gifts are the bane of our collective existence. Precisely no one wants to shop for someone they barely know. Sorry, but it's a fact — and we know you totally agree.
Because it's hard! Goodness, it's not fun — especially when you have a really specific set budget and tiny bits of information about somebody.
If you're anything like us, most of the time you'll end up grabbing something so last minute that you can barely watch as the recipient opens it and has to pretend they actually like it. Gah.
The same goes for families where you're saving some cash by doing a Secret Santa situation. Because if you know the person well — like when they are your actual flesh and blood! — it feels like even MORE pressure.
