Kris Kringle in the Philippines

In the Philippines, Kris Kringle is what many offices call their Christmas gift exchange. It is the same idea as Secret Santa and Monito Monita: everyone draws a name, buys a gift within the agreed budget, and the giver is revealed at the party.

For a smooth office Kris Kringle, agree on the budget and the exchange date early, ask everyone to add a wishlist, and shuffle once everyone has joined. With an online draw, nobody gets their own name, and remote teammates can join too.

Questions

Is Kris Kringle the same as Secret Santa?

Yes. Kris Kringle, Secret Santa and Monito Monita are different names for the same gift exchange, where each person secretly gives a gift to someone they drew.

What is a typical Kris Kringle budget in the Philippines?

Office exchanges usually set ₱300, ₱500 or ₱1,000 as the minimum. Choose an amount everyone is comfortable with and set it as the group’s spending minimum.

Can couples avoid getting each other?

Yes, with PRO. The organizer adds exclusions, like a couple or siblings, and the shuffle makes sure they never get each other.

What if someone joins late?

Shuffle once everyone has joined. If someone joins after the shuffle, a PRO organizer can unshuffle the group to let them in, then shuffle again.

Is it free?

Yes, free forever with no limit on members. PRO is an optional ₱199 one-time add-on for organizers who want extra tools.
