Work Secret Santa Form
Collect every participant's wish list and preferences before the draw, so every gift feels personal rather than generic.
Office Secret Santa exchanges without a wish list form leave gift givers guessing what to buy for a colleague they barely know. A gift that misses the recipient's taste or budget can make it awkward for any team setting. Typeform's work Secret Santa form gives organizers a structured way to collect participant wish lists before the draw.
The form captures participant name, gift budget, interests, wish list items, and anything they'd prefer to avoid. Participants work through one field at a time, so every wish list item and preference is captured thoughtfully. Conditional logic adapts the questions based on the participant's budget range and gift category preferences. A participant preferring experiences sees different prompts than one who'd rather receive a physical item or a gift card.
Customize it with your company name, this year's gift budget range, and any themes or categories specific to this year's exchange. Share it with all participants before the draw, so preferences are on file before names are allocated. Every response routes to the organizer via Zapier, so preferences arrive in one place without chasing individual replies. When every gift giver has a wish list to work from, the exchange feels carefully considered.
A work Secret Santa form collects wish list items, interests, and budget preferences from each participant in the exchange. It captures gift ideas, hobbies, dietary preferences, and anything the participant would prefer to avoid. Use it so every gift giver starts from a personal wish list rather than a guess.
A generic gift that misses the recipient's interests creates an awkward exchange moment, especially in a small team. Without a preference form, gift givers default to generic choices that often miss the recipient's taste or needs. A wish list form gives gift givers the context to find something the recipient actually wants. Use it for office Secret Santas, remote team gift swaps, and any group gift exchange where participants need matching.
Less is more for a Secret Santa form. Focus on:
- Participant name and department or team
- Gift budget tier (e.g., $20–$30, $30–$50, $50+)
- Interests, hobbies, and favorite things
- Specific wish list items or brands they love
- Anything they'd prefer to avoid (fragrance, food allergies, specific categories)
Route submissions to the organizer only, so no participant sees another's wish list before the draw. Keeping responses organizer-only preserves the gift surprise, even when the form goes to the full team simultaneously. Once the draw happens, the organizer shares only the relevant wish list with each gift giver.
Use the responses to guide your matching before the draw, not just after. If participants cluster into similar budget tiers, factor that into your pairing decisions before finalizing the draw. Pairing by budget and interests improves the chance every gift lands well, which makes the whole exchange more enjoyable.

Work From Home Request Form
A Slack message asking to work from home on Thursday isn't a request anyone can track, especially once the same employee has asked five different ways over a month. Collect the request type, dates or schedule, and manager approval in one place, so HR isn't reconstructing who's working where from a scattered inbox.

Return of Property Form
A property checklist stapled to an exit interview packet isn't a record anyone can rely on when a laptop turns up missing three weeks later. Collect itemized equipment details, condition at return, and a signed acknowledgment before an employee's last day, so IT isn't chasing down a laptop that already walked out the door.

Early Retirement Form
A retirement mentioned to a manager in conversation doesn't give HR anything to actually process, and if there's an incentive deadline attached, the date that conversation happened can matter more than anyone realized at the time. Collect what your HR team actually needs, employee information, requested date, and benefit elections, before a window closes.

Employee Write-Up Form
A verbal warning that never makes it into a written record isn't the kind of documentation that holds up if a termination is challenged later. Collect the specific incident, policy violated, and corrective action while it's fresh, so a pattern of issues doesn't go undocumented until it's too late to matter.
