How detailed should a Secret Santa wish list really be? The classic “What’s your favorite color?” opener is dull, and an endless survey won’t motivate anyone to complete it. TypeCalendar’s Secret Santa Questionnaire templates strike the perfect balance in a single, one‑page layout: three quick “Favorite Drink – Restaurant – Movie Genre” prompts at the top, two playful open ended questions in the middle (“A nostalgic flavor for me…”), and an “I’d rather not receive” box at the bottom. It offers just enough personal detail without crossing privacy lines or asking for awkward facts like shoe size.

Our library now features over 30 Secret Santa questionnaire templates. The “Classic Mint & Red” design adds color to retail store raffles, while the “Minimal Monochrome” version fits into formal environments like law firms. The “Elf Illustrator” template prepared for children’s classrooms increases the desire to fill it with cartoon character icons; the “Editable Google Forms Link” version for remote teams is instantly shared in the browser without the need for office applications. There is even a “PDF‑fillable + Email Return” model for teams that cannot meet face to face.
Secret Santa Questionnaire Templates
What Sets Each Template Apart
The title of each form and the order of questions were organized to reflect office standards, with gift budgets ranging from $10 to $50. The “Dietary Restrictions” line makes the gluten‑free employee happy, while the “Preferred Scent / Candle Allergies” field prevents the risk of perfume. The optional “Secret Code Name” box in the top corner hides the participant’s name; the excitement increases during the draw and the surprise is not spoiled.
File Formats for Every Workflow
As the TypeCalendar team, we have converted each template into various formats. The PDF (300 dpi) version of “Actual Size” is ready for printing; it is resistant to coffee stains when laminated. The Word (.docx) file allows you to easily change the company logo in the header. Google Docs & Forms copies allow real‑time work in the cloud; the answers fall directly into a shareable spreadsheet. For those who are looking for design flexibility, we have added Canva Link; select your brand colors and download PDF with one click. It’s over.

Protecting Confidentiality & Encouraging Candor
No matter how fun a sweepstakes form is, employees ask themselves, “Who will get this information?” In each of the TypeCalendar templates, sensitive areas such as email and phone have been left optional; the user can participate only with the “Secret Code Name” and first name if he wants. The tiny “data‑wiping” note at the bottom of the form guarantees that the information will be deleted within 30 days of the giveaway. This simple assurance significantly increases the rate at which participants fill out the survey honestly, while saving the human resources team the extra hassle of writing GDPR/CCPA compliance policies.
