In Paraguay, and in many other South American countries, Secret Santa is a very typical practice to celebrate International Friendship Day: a day when they choose to honor their friendships by exchanging the affection they have for each other in the form of gifts. One of the best-known versions is the Amigo Invisibilisimo.
In this game, the goal is to buy a gift that everyone participating might like. At the beginning of the evening, each participant discreetly leaves their gift in a pile, and at game time, each person receives a package by drawing lots. No one knows who sent their gift. A perfect idea for this version of Secret Santa is to give some textiles, like socks, gloves o headbands from muy mucho.
In Colombia, they play Amigo Secreto. This particular version consists of distributing the names a few days before the gathering and leaving little gifts for the person suspected of being your Secret Santa, to try to receive the best present. On game day, to distribute the gifts, miming is used: imitating the recipient’s postures, gestures, or ways of walking. A good gift idea for this occasion is one of our board games for the whole family and friends. This way, we can continue spending a playful and fun afternoon with traditional games.
