This Secret Santa survey template asks participants what they would enjoy, what to skip and how they can receive a present. A gift exchange is easier to organize when recipients can say what they actually want. SurveyLegend helps an organizer collect a short wish list and practical delivery preferences before sharing only the appropriate details with an assigned giver. ## When to use this template Use this before drawing names for a voluntary adult exchange with a clear spending limit and delivery date. For venue, timing or the wider party, use the [event planning ](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-examples-templates/event-planning-survey-template/)survey. This questionnaire gathers gift preferences; it does not assign pairs, collect payments or guarantee secrecy. **Create your secret santa survey in SurveyLegend** A gift exchange is easier to organize when recipients can say what they actually want.

Let people opt out, and handle any food or accessibility concern in a separate private channel rather than soliciting medical information. ## Printable secret santa survey Print the same seven optional questions for a small group that prefers paper.

Keep opt-outs out of the pairing process and confirm delivery separately. Do not infer an allergy or consent to share an identity from a skipped response. Steffel and Le Boeuf reported six gift-selection experiments. Their university-hosted abstract says “Focusing givers on recipients' preferences reduces overindividuation” in choices for multiple recipients. The finding suggests passing on the recipient's actual preferences rather than inventing a clever surprise; it does not validate this questionnaire or predict the success of one exchange. Source: [Steffel and Le Boeuf (2014) ](https://profiles.wustl.edu/en/publications/overindividuation-in-gift-giving-shopping-for-multiple-recipients/). ## Frequently asked questions ### Does the survey draw names or assign gift partners? No. It collects preferences. The organizer must arrange pairing separately and explain who sees each answer. ### Can someone decline the exchange? Yes. Make participation voluntary and remove declined entries before any real pairing. ### How can we preserve the surprise? Share only the details the recipient has approved and tell participants whether the giver will learn their identity. Do not publish a full response sheet.
