The article from NBC New York provides a comprehensive guide on how to navigate the Secret Santa gift exchange, a popular holiday tradition. It outlines the basic rules of Secret Santa, where participants draw names to determine who they will buy a gift for, ensuring anonymity and a surprise element. The guide suggests setting a budget to keep the gift-giving fair and manageable, and offers tips on choosing the right gift, like considering the recipient's interests, hobbies, or even their wish list if available. It also discusses the importance of setting a date for the gift exchange, ensuring everyone can participate. Additionally, the article touches on variations like "White Elephant" or "Yankee Swap" where gifts can be humorous or regifted, and provides etiquette tips such as not revealing who you have before the exchange, and how to handle situations where someone might not receive a gift due to a participant's absence.
