Stocking & Secret Santa Kit — Secret Santa Draw & Budget Tracker, Stocking Stuffer Tracker by Person & Price, Gift Exchange Planner + Printable Rules Sheet & Draw Slips (PDF + Spreadsheet)

Ten people, one $25 limit, and somebody always draws themselves, overspends in secret, or arrives with an unwrapped bottle. This kit runs the draw before the draw runs you.

The Organizer tracks the gifts. This one runs the group games and the stockings: who drew whom (privately), whether anyone is quietly over the limit, what is actually in each stocking and what it added up to, and how many separate exchanges you somehow agreed to this year.

What's inside

• Secret Santa Draw & Budget Tracker spreadsheet — one row per participant with the name they drew, gift idea, and cost, plus a Budget Check that flags itself ✓ Within budget / ⚠ Over budget / Not yet bought. The summary totals the budget pool, spend, what's left, gifts bought, and the average gift (worked sample: 10 participants, $250 pool, $208.08 of gifts logged, $41.92 left, 8 bought, exactly 1 over the limit — caught before the party, not at it).
• Stocking Stuffer Tracker — by person and by price — every stuffer with qty × price line totals that calculate themselves, an in-stocking check, and a spend-by-person table that totals each stocking against its own budget (worked sample: 12 stuffers, $70.46 total across 5 stockings, every person's remaining budget shown — Lily $2.01 left, Noah $6.00, Emma $1.26, Mike $2.01, Sara $3.26).
• Gift Exchange Tracker — every White Elephant, Yankee Swap, cookie swap and class exchange in one place: participants × limit = group spend pool, your gift + extras = your real total, and a limit check per event (worked sample: 6 exchanges, 68 participants, $980 combined pool, $104.42 total spend for you, 4 of 6 gifts ready, 1 gift flagged over its limit).
• Rules & Draw Checklist sheet — a quick budget calculator (participants × limit, and your ceiling across all your exchanges), live totals pulled from the other two sheets, the 8 rules to agree before the draw, and an 8-task draw checklist that counts itself done (worked sample: 5 of 8, 63%).
• Printable pages — the same trackers as print-and-write pages, 12 cut-out draw slips, an exchange-night running sheet, and the full 10-point Gift-Exchange Rules Sheet to share with the group before anyone draws a name.

How it works: Buy → instant download link at checkout and by email → open the spreadsheet in Excel, Google Sheets or Apple Numbers, or print the PDF pages → the yellow example rows show every total working; overwrite them with your own group and go.

Honest notes: Digital download — nothing is mailed. The draw tracker records who drew whom for the organiser's eyes only; keep that page private like the kit tells you to. The rules sheet is a household/group organiser, not legal advice — workplace exchanges should also follow whatever rules your employer sets. Colours may vary slightly by printer. Personal use; print as many slips, trackers and rules sheets as your own groups need.

Pairs with the Christmas Organizer Printable Bundle ($9.95) — the overall gifts and budget — the Card & Wrapping Station Kit ($7.95), and the Christmas Meal & Party Planner Kit ($8.95). The Organizer tracks what you buy; this kit runs who draws whom, what goes in each stocking, and every exchange you got talked into.

FAQ

• When do I get it? Immediately — download link at checkout + emailed. No shipping, ever.
• How is this different from the Christmas Organizer Bundle? The Organizer ($9.95) tracks your gift list, total holiday budget, cards in brief, and December deadlines. This kit is only about group giving and stockings: the secret draw and its limit, per-person stuffer spend, and every exchange event you're in. No sheet is repeated between the kits.
• Does it run the draw for us? It tracks and budgets the draw and includes printable draw slips plus the organiser's checklist; it is a spreadsheet/printable kit, not an app — use slips or any free name generator to make the draw itself, then record it here.
• We're only doing stockings, no Secret Santa — is half the kit wasted? The stuffer tracker stands alone with its own per-person budgets, and the exchange sheet covers any swap or exchange. Use the sheets you need; they are linked but none requires the others.
• What do I need? A printer for the slips and rules sheet (card stock for slips is sturdier) and Excel, Google Sheets (free) or Numbers for the spreadsheet. The printable pages work on their own.
• Refunds? Digital download — if a file won't open or a formula misbehaves, contact the store first and we'll fix or refund.
