Tired of playing Secret Santa roulette and hoping for the best? If you unwrapped one too many pair of socks with reindeer butts on them, listen up! This free printable Secret Santa Questionnaire is here to save you from those cringe-worthy moments and ensure that everyone ends up with a gift they’ll actually appreciate.
Secret Santa fails can be hilarious, but how much storage space do we have to keep all those useless gifts? One year, I received a ceramic frog wearing a tutu. To this day, I still have no idea what to do with it!
Getting it right for the little ones is even more important. After all, they’ve been counting down the days to Christmas since, well, last Christmas! This questionnaire is especially handy when you’re shopping for your own kids, nieces, nephews, or your friends’ adorable little munchkins. No more guessing games or panicked trips to the toy store on Christmas Eve!
Now, let’s take a closer look at this gift-giving lifesaver.

Once you learn someone’s favorite things, hobbies, and quirky little preferences that make them unique, finding a gift they’ll love is a lot easier. This free printable Secret Santa Questionnaire is packed with all the relevant questions and prompts to help with that.
Here’s a quick rundown of what you’ll find:
✔️Basic Info – Start with the essentials: name and age. This is especially important when playing Secret Santa with a new group of people like coworkers or class mates.
✔️Favorites – Here you will uncover all those hidden gems of information, from their favorite color and scent to their go-to snack and sports team.
✔️Practical Info – This section helps you avoid those gift-giving faux pas by finding out what they don’t want or need and a very useful area to write down size info for clothes and shoes. Plus, it’s a great way to uncover any allergies or restrictions, so you can keep everyone safe and happy!
✔️Preferences – A practical checklist that’ll show you your recipient’s heart (or at least their wish list!). From books and movies to games and stationery, you’ll get a clear picture of their likes and dislikes.
✔️Wish List – This is where the magic happens! The recipient has a dedicated space to jot down their heart’s desires (or at least provide a few helpful hints!).
With all this knowledge, you can choose a meaningful gift that matches the recipient’s wants and needs. And of course, avoid gifting a sweater that’s two sizes too small!
