Dear Santa,

I am very excited to be taking part in Secret Santa this year, and I would like to share some ideas of things that would make me happy

I absolutely love sweets, especially Milka chocolate with cookies! I would be delighted to receive a plant (any kind you think is nice), some fun socks or a gift certificate for “Gold Apple”

One more thing: I must admit that I am addicted to Coca-Cola and green MaxTea!

Thank you!

Dear Secret Santa,

Here are a few things about me that might help you choose a small gift:

Things I enjoy:

Books in English (for example, Educated by Tara Westover)

Relaxing items for self-care, like a candle or a soft blanket — preferably in calm, neutral colors and without strong or sweet fragrances

Christmas tree decorations, especially vintage-style glass toys in red, white, and gold.

Things I don’t really need:

Candy or chocolate in large quantities

Skincare products

Stationery

Thank you in advance for your thoughtful surprise! 🎄😊

Dear Secret Santa,

This year I’ve really been trying to be good and I hope I am on the ‘nice’ list again.

I absolutely cannot survive without good chocolate with nuts, tea, daily planners, and all the little organizational things that make my life tasty and convince me my life is under control. I would happily welcome scented candles, fun socks, a coffee mug, a bookmark, an inspirational calendar, cute stationery sets or any kind of organizer that promises to make me 2% more productive next year.

Important note for Santa’s elves: I’m allergic to sunflower seeds and mango, so let’s not make that mistake again.

And for fun, I love swimming and yoga, which balance out all the chocolate & nuts.

Happy Upcoming Holidays, Santa!

I can't live without sleep.

In my free time, I like scrolling memes in social media, lying in bed. I also like walking and chatting with my family and friends.

My favourites:

Food: snacks

Fruit: mangoosteen

Drink: tea with milk

Colours: all bright

Book genre: space odyssey

I also like stationary, e.g. gel pens and other useful stuff for reading and writing and for the office.

Dear Santa, don't give me anything scented please!

Dear Santa,

I hope this little letter reaches you in a moment of calm and warmth.

I want you to know that I will be happy with any gift you choose — your care already feels like a bit of Christmas magic.

But if you’d like to give me something that brings gentle joy and beautiful emotions, there are two lovely options.

A ticket to one of the theatres in Almaty would make my heart glow — an evening filled with art always feels special.

Or, since I dearly love reading, a Meloman gift card would also be wonderful, so I could choose a book for the holidays.

Whichever is easier for you, Santa — a ticket or a gift card — I completely understand. Especially considering the famous Almaty traffic… even magic slippers get stuck sometimes.

Thank you for your warmth and kindness.

With love and gratitude,

Elmira

Dear Secret Santa,

I have moved here recently and found out that I don't need much stuff. I'm interested in learning more about Kazakhstan, Kazakh language, music, history. I'm allergic to penicillin, just kidding. I'll aim to remain minimalist as long as possible, thank you! You're the best!

Dear Santa,

I love chocolate and coffee.

I like reading fiction and dancing in my free time.

Thank you!

Dear Santa Claus,
I can tell you that I love artificial intelligence, but I like chocolate even more. I have lots of papers, and a folder to organize them is always useful. I enjoy making tea or coffee at the office; a large-capacity thermos would let me offer coffee to my colleagues. Anyway, I like all kinds of gifts…

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Santa,

I’ve recently discovered a love for plants, especially those with beautiful leaves. Since my office is a bit empty, I would also be happy to get a decoration (anything to put on the shelf), but nothing cutesy. A book is always a good option as well. I like history, sci-fi, detective, and philosophical novels (no romance ✕).

~So a plant or an office decoration or a book.

My favourite colours are white and dark blue. I really don't like gold, red, and yellow. I am indifferent to sweets, drinks, and beauty products. I would not like to get scented candles or stationary.

Hope this makes it easier for you to find a present.

Thank you in advance 💙

Dear Santa,

I will be happy with any gift you choose for me and that you think suits me. I love sweets — lokum and simple chocolate. Among fruits, I like oranges, mango, and passion fruit. Lately, I’ve been enjoying psychology and motivation books.

Thank you for the warmth and magic you bring every year, with the anticipation of the holidays and faith in miracles.

Thank you, and cheers to the New Year; may it be a great one!

My favorite food is white and dark chocolate.

Dear Santa,

If we haven't really met or interacted - hi, nice to meet you! Here are some things that might be useful to know to help choose something for me:

Snacks/candies: milk chocolate! I also like gummies

Drinks: green tea, herbal tea, fruit tea

Scents: I like the smell of mint or lemongrass, but nothing too scented. Something herby and low-key.

Colors: green, lavender, beige, pastel colors; I lean towards cool summer colors.

Book genre: comedy, romance, detective

I would prefer not to receive anything connected with coffee, even anything that remotely smells like coffee; also, I would prefer not to receive candles, bath bombs, face masks, or hand creams.

Thank you!

I cannot live without water. I almost always carry my glass water bottle with me, but it has become a bit tacky.

In my free time I exercise, watch movies and snack a lot, lately more healthy foods like nuts, dates, soft dried fruit.

My favourites: Chocolate covered dates; tea; self-motivation books; fresh berries;

I almost never drink coffee.

I am not too picky when it comes to presents.

I love traditional gifts
