We organized a My Favorite Things Secret Santa gift exchange with our staff. Inspired by Oprah's annual Favorite Things list, each participating staff member purchased three identical (or similar) meaningful items spending no more than $25 to $30 for all three combined. At the event, everyone brought three gifts and put their own name into a bowl three times. Next, everyone draws three names (discarding their own back, if they choose it). Then the gift giving begins! One person starts by giving their three gifts to the people they drew, and once those gifts are opened, he/she explains the meaning of the gift.
