When my wife Hannah was diagnosed with lung cancer at the end of May, we were shocked! Being 28 years old, pregnant with our 4th child, and then having a new diagnosis of lung cancer was overwhelming. I would like those that donated to know how much we appreciated them, and their generosity. I appreciated her uplifting words, and for being such a generous and kind person. Thank you so much for the generous Christmas present! The message from Jordan was very touching. Here are some of the recipients who want to say thank you…

This year, we were able to bless the lives of 224 families thanks to your donations! It was such a privilege to be a part of soooo many family's holiday experiences. With our amazing audience – that's YOU – our Secret Santa project has grown exponentially!Įach year, we've been able to send a Christmas gift to even more families. You Freebs were also touched by the stories I shared! Donations, none of which I even asked for, poured in and we were able to help 14 MORE families with your additional donations! I feel a special bond and connection with them that will (for lack of a less cheesy term…) stay with me forever. I am still in contact with these sweet families they have touched my heart to the core. It all started in 2016, when we decided to pay for 3 families' Christmases. We're so excited to share some of the amazing Secret Santa stories! QUICK SECRET SANTA RECAPįor the past 4 years, we've hosted a project during the holidays we hold near to our hearts called Secret Santa!! It started small, with us just wanting to give back to our amazing community. Get your present early, and instead daydream about how much your Secret Santa is going to love what you chose for them (because obviously with these Secret Santa presents, they will).īelow, we have rounded up the 43 best Secret Santa gift ideas for $25 and under (which will also make for great White Elephant gifts or stocking stuffers) to ensure that you impress your peers while remaining calm, cool, and collected.Thank you for your donations and helping make our Secret Santa project a HUGE success in 2020.

No more scrambling the night before or begging the shipping gods to deliver your last-minute gift on time. Lucky for you, we are here to mitigate your worries and provide you with gifts for a stress-free holiday event that you can actually enjoy. Let's face it, you want to get a unique gift everyone will be jealous of, but not something that'll break the bank. What happens if you get assigned someone you barely know or someone you know so well that it takes the fun out of the experience? How do you find a thoughtful, funny, and creative Secret Santa gift with such a small budget?įinding the perfect Secret Santa gift can be a fun, but challenging project to take on, whether you're shopping for your best friend or looking for gifts for coworkers you just met yesterday. However, in reality, the gift exchange can cause stress in other ways. The concept of Secret Santa is great in theory: a group of friends, coworkers or family gather together to celebrate the holidays and exchange gifts (similar to White Elephant exchanges) that take the pressure off of buying something pricey for everyone on your list.
