It is difficult to determine exactly when the Secret Santa tradition began but it has been going for so long that it feels as old as time itself.
Secret Santa refers to the Christmas tradition that sees members of a group or community get randomly assigned a person to whom they give a gift.
In this practice, the identity of the gift giver is meant to remain a secret and should not be revealed.
Companies often use the Secret Santa tradition during the festive season as one of many team-building exercises among colleagues. It is also a hit with friend groups and other groups that spend a lot of time together.
There is also often a limit placed on the cost of the gifts one can get in this kind of exercise to keep things fair. If you find yourself in need of a Secret Santa gift, take a look at our list of 50 gifts under R100.
