As indicated above, in the definition, the idea of the Secret Santa is very simple - each participant of the ceremony gives a gift to another participant. At the same time, the recipient of the gift does not know from whom he receives a gift. As well as the participant that gives a gift does not know from whom he will receive his. redditgifts in this situation is a centralized place where each participant can register to participate, learn the rules of the whole event, receive a randomly selected recipient of the gift, and also get to another participant as the person to whom the gift will be sent. All this is absolutely free and redditgifts take no payment from the participants.
The idea of redditgifts began its existence in 2009 and the great motivator was the performance of Michael Norton (Michael Norton) - How to buy happiness . The idea behind this talk is that money can really make you happy if you spend it on someone else.
Last year (2013) the number of participants reached 121,799 people from 164 countries of the world and more than 3 million dollars were spent on gifts. Among the famous participants were seen Bill Gates, Shaquille O'Neill, Arnold Schwarzenegger and many others . As a result, 2013 was the third year in a row, when redditgifts broke the world record and was listed in the Guinness Book of Records.
For Secret Santa 2014, we set the bar at 200,000 participants. Registration has already begun ! In the first 3 hours, 10,000 users registered. At the time of writing, there are already more than 27,000 of them and it is ticking :-) Registration is open to everyone.
