Secret Santa Cards: What Are They?

A secret giver of a Christmas gift can be identified by writing a brief description of themselves, providing very subtle hints about their identity on a Secret Santa Card. The anonymous giver typically includes certain characteristics in their messages to covertly identify themselves. For some households, incorporating these Christmas cards is a Christmas ritual that families look forward to every Christmas.

Depending on the comments which are provided on the Secret Santa clue cards, the present receiver should try and use the hints to determine the identity of the giver. Naturally, this will not be an easy task otherwise it takes the fun out of the game and sometimes the person gifting the presents will purposely try and throw you off the scent.

The cards, which are attached to the gift, can be utilized to inform the receivers of who you are as well as a suggestion as to what the gift might include. If you stick with a specific theme, the cards might also reflect that. The types of cards you use can also be used to give a hint about who the Secret Santa may be.

What to Write on a Secret Santa Card?

If you are stuck for Secret Santa Card ideas then you should start by finding a suitable Secret Santa Card template that can be edited to include specific images, text, or fonts that reflect the idea or clue that you are trying to portray.

Of course, when it comes to writing a Secret Santa Card there are some things that you ought to remember:

• Because you must do your best to remain unidentified, you should write phrases like, "I guarantee you could tell who this present is from... it is from your Secret Santa!" being careful not to give too much away;
• You may decide to create a handwritten note or a printed note. This is generally not too important but writing by hand adds an extra personalized touch which the recipient may appreciate but the danger is that if the recipient knows your handwriting, you can be found out fairly quickly unless you purposely go out of your way to severely change your handwriting;
• You may also add a short rhyme and write something like "Christmas signifies having a great deal of fun. The present season has just commenced, so I present your first gift and must run” if you want to be even more original;
• Alternatively, you may choose to add something simple such as, "I like being a Secret Santa," if you have enjoyed and appreciated the role because some people may get more pleasure from buying and giving the gifts rather than receiving them;
• Another option is to just say thank you to the individual, maybe even mention a small thing that they did throughout the year that really made you happy and for which you are grateful for.
