Dec 2024 - Virtual Gift Exchange Instructions

Secret Virtual Gift Exchange

Instructions

1. Jordan will draw names and then send you a message in MS Teams to let you know who you’re making a gift for.

2. You then find out a bit more about the person you’re giving to, part of the fun to get to know the broader team.

3. Create or find a virtual gift for them. This could be as simple as a screen grab of an image. For example, someone could send me a picture of a nice golf course because they know that is a hobby I enjoy.

4. Come prepared to present your gift and explain why you gave it at our gathering (will take about 1 minute per person).

This is an optional activity. No concerns if you prefer to not participate – just let Jordan know so we can realign the activity.

If you prefer to have a direct conversation with the person you’re gifting to, go for it. The surprise can be in the reveal of the gift itself. Some folks might prefer this direct approach.

With thanks to Dana H and Kim D in the Digital Talent Development/Academy team, they created a MIRO board with updated instructions and a way for you to “post” and “wrap” your gift that takes away the pressure of having to present your gift in a group setting. Please check it out and upload your gift there. We can then do a collective unwrapping and gallery walk of the different gifts presented. Additionally, if there is any other holidays or celebrations to acknowledge and include in the board – please feel free to add them.
