About

Secret Gifter is about spreading positivity both through giving and receiving small gifts. Everyone that enters is allocated secretly to another participant. During the year it is the Gifter's responsibility to secretly send small gifts or notes to their Giftee.

Any points to keep in mind?

The focus is on GIVING gifts, not receiving. Yes the plan is to receive gifts but that should not be the reason for signing up.

You should aim to secretly send a small gift or token of appreciation at least once a month and at other times such as Christmas or birthday's.

This is not about expensive or grand gestures. The focus should be on something thoughtful - even if it is just a note of appreciation for something you have noticed them doing.

At the end of the process (in school's we tend to set this as July) there will be an opportunity for a final reveal. Some smaller settings choose to do this all together but others prefer to leave it to individuals for a final gift with an actual name on rather than just 'Secret Gifter'.

I still don't fully understand...

Think of it like Secret Santa but over a longer period and with more information about the person you are buying for.

How do I sign up?

The first thing that needs to happen is someone from your organisation needs to be the Master Gifter that creates a gifting opportunity and decides on when it will run and coordinate the process. Once that is done, they share their joining code with staff who come to this website and follow the instructions in the red boxes on the home page. There are three stages to joining:

Sign in to the website or create an account
Complete your profile
Enter the join code

After the sign up deadline the Master Gifter does the pairs which lets users see the profile of the randomly allocated person.
