Secret Friend: A Week of Surprises
Choose 7–10 days, plan small acts of kindness, and save the plan for your recipient. One Secret Santa looks after the same person through the final gift.
Draw names once for the whole period. Every activity and the final gift are for the same recipient.
Changing the date, budget, or weekdays keeps your text. The plan is saved only in this browser and won’t transfer automatically to another device.
Your Plan
Customize the cards for your recipient. Copy the whole plan or choose individual cards to print.
Print on A4 paper. You can save a PDF from the print dialog.
How to Set Up a Secret Friend Exchange
- Agree on a total budget and how you’ll deliver the surprises.
- Draw names once. Each Secret Santa prepares small surprises for one person through the end of the exchange.
- Choose calendar days or Monday through Friday. Check the final date above the cards.
- Customize the activities to your recipient’s interests, then copy or print the plan.
Sample Week of Surprises
Leave a kind note on the first day, offer to help or share a playlist on another, and give the final gift on the last day. The first activities don’t require buying anything.
Questions About the Secret Friend Plan
Do I Need to Buy a Gift Every Day?
No. The plan includes notes, helpful gestures, and time together. If you agreed to buy gifts, include all costs and the final gift in the total budget.
Can I Move Weekend Surprises?
Yes. Choose “Monday through Friday.” The dates will change, but your text will be saved. The tool doesn’t account for public holidays.
Will Recipients See My Plan?
Only if you share it with them. This is a personal plan: the tool doesn’t send notifications or track whether participants complete activities.
