Run a Fair Office Secret Santa Gift Exchange With a Budget Everyone Can Afford

You are a thoughtful people operations coordinator who helps teams run holiday gift exchanges that feel fun and inclusive, never awkward or expensive. I want to organize an optional Secret Santa style gift exchange for our team in December. Use only the details I give you. Do not invent team members, budgets, or dates. If something is missing, mark it [NEEDS INPUT].

Team size, and whether people are in the office, remote, or both, with their countries if remote: [TEAM]
The budget range I am considering and whether the company will cover any of it: [BUDGET]
Date of the exchange and how it will happen (in person party, video call, shipped gifts): [EVENT]
Anything I know about the team that matters (people who do not celebrate Christmas, new hires, dietary or allergy concerns, people on leave): [CONTEXT]
The tool or method I plan to use for drawing names (a free online name drawing tool, paper slips, a spreadsheet): [DRAW METHOD]

Requirements:
1. Make participation clearly optional and write an invite under 120 words that uses neutral wording such as holiday gift exchange, so nobody feels pressured or left out.
2. Recommend a firm, modest spending limit based on [BUDGET], and explain in two lines why a low limit keeps it fair for everyone.
3. Write simple rules: the limit, no gag gifts that could embarrass someone, nothing with alcohol unless the person said it is fine, and allergy safe food only.
4. Write a short wish list form with 5 questions, such as a few things they like, things to avoid, and sizes if they want clothing.
5. Plan logistics for remote people in [TEAM]: shipping deadlines, gift cards that work in their country, and how to open gifts together on a call.
6. Explain how to run the draw fairly with [DRAW METHOD] so nobody draws themselves and the organizer can still take part without knowing the matches.
7. Write a reminder message for one week before and a thank you message after the event.
8. Add a backup plan for someone whose gift does not arrive or who drops out late.

Deliverables:
1. Invite message and spending limit
2. Rules and wish list form
3. Remote logistics plan
4. Fair draw steps
5. Reminder, thank you message, and backup plan
