The secret friend is a meaningful tradition that can be nerve-wracking when you don't know what to give.
To prevent that from happening to you and your friends, consider the following basic tips to help you organize the secret friend:

2. Include gift suggestions: To make the search for your gift and that of others easier, you can give suggestions of what you like. Many times, looking for gifts without knowing what the recipient likes can become quite a challenge. It is important that each participant can write a couple of suggestions on the paper on which she writes her name.
