What is a secret santa exchange?

A secret Santa is a gift exchange that happens around Christmas time, where people anonymously exchange gifts. It is generally understood that the sender of the gift does not know the recipient.  Sometimes the sender uses an index card or a nametag to identify the recipient.

I have had friends who made homemade gifts like cookies, notebooks, books, and decorated an ornament. I have also had friends who used technology like ordering a book or watching a video online.
