About this site
I build Santa AI, where kids, and now grown-ups too, get a video call, a phone call or a personalized video from Santa. Last Christmas we made more than 14,000 of them. This year, HR teams started asking us the same question: what do we give our employees that isn’t another mug? This site is my honest answer, and the ideas go well beyond our own product.
How we choose the ideas
Each guide is written for one real situation: a budget, a type of team, a group of recipients. We favor gifts people use every day, gifts that reach their families, and gifts that don’t create shipping headaches. We skip logo merchandise, scented products and anything that ends up in a drawer by January. The full list of tests is on How we pick.
Prices are typical ranges at major US retailers and change often, so always check the listing before you buy. Where we name an “Our pick”, the Walmart link goes to that exact listing, with the price on the date we checked it. Amazon and Etsy links open a search for that type of product, so you can compare options yourself. Personalized and handmade gifts link to Etsy.
Our own product
Idea #1 on every page is Santa for Teams, which we make. It costs $9.99 per employee: each person picks a Santa video call, a phone call or a personalized video, for their kids or for themselves, and the company never collects anyone’s personal data. We put it first and say so openly on every page. We also make pauza for Teams, a team screen-time challenge for iPhone, which appears on the list with an “Also made by us” label. Everything else we recommend is independent of us.
