What could be more fun than to organize a Secret Santa gift exchange with your college friends before you go home for the holidays, or with your family or high school friends for when you arrive? If you’re stressed by finals, this could be a great way to do some retail therapy.

Here’s a list of 10 great Secret Santa gift ideas for this holiday season:
