In the UK, we spend approximately £147 million each year on Secret Santa gifts! That’s according to research by the British Heart Foundation from back in 2013. We are struggling to find any more recent figures, so we are keen to find out what people really think about taking part in Secret Santa gift exchanges, how much they spend on it and what happens to the presents involved!

If you have a spare couple of minutes (and that’s all it will take, promise!), please fill out our survey. We won’t be saving any email addresses or personal data other than the answers you give in the survey. You can find it here: https://forms.gle/CpcvfJigUKMUZoHw8

Secret Santa - love it or hate it?

We will publish the results in due course.

Thanks so much for your help!

    The Ghost of Christmas Waste

    The festive season can generate lots of waste, but the Final Straw Foundation offers some tips to help curb this. Primarily, try more sustainable packaging for online orders and use recyclable wrapping paper. Donating unwanted gifts instead of trashing them, as well as being mindful of Christmas food waste, can make a difference. Also, reducing plastic waste at Christmas is crucial, with options such as kerbside recycling, and plastic-free alternatives for gifts and food. Visit the full blog post to find out more!
