Gifts for a Secret Santa Exchange

Friday November 28, 2008
I can't count how many Secret Santa exchanges I've participated in over the years. Sometimes they've been called "Pollyannas", other times I've heard them called a "grab bag" and I'm sure there are other names for the exchange. The way these exchanges usually work is that everyone is asked to bring a small gift under a specific dollar limit. All of the gifts are mixed up, and then according to a pre-established procedure, everyone gets to choose a gift from the pile. I thought about some of the gifts I've received over the years, and then I've gladly erased them from my memory! But when I thought about what would truly make a good gift for someone who likes to entertain, this is the list of things I came up with for my next Secret Santa exchange.
