Draw names for everyone. Make sure you set a deadline to sign up before drawing names. Tell everyone who their secret Santa is in privacy, because the whole fun of the game is not knowing who has drawn your name. If someone is unsure who her Santa is, make sure you let her know.

Set a limit of how much money each person can spend on his secret Santa. It's never fun if someone spends $50 on one person but another only spends $10. Set a limit that is affordable for most people but still allows them to get something nice.
