How to set a Secret Santa budget

Choosing a Secret Santa budget that fits your group, and what works at each price point.

Match the group

Student groups often pick around ₩10,000, teams and friends ₩30,000, close friends or family ₩50,000. What matters most is that everyone follows the same cap.

What works at each budget

₩10,000: small everyday things like hand cream, drip coffee or socks.

₩30,000: winter-ready items like a tumbler, a mood light or a novel.

₩50,000: things that last, like a power bank or a knit scarf. Ask about size or color with a note first.

Start from the wishlist

SantaPick asks everyone for up to three wishes when they join. More examples are on the gift ideas page.
