Do you have a Secret Sister, or do you want to give a random act of kindness to someone? But how can you give a gift without the person realizing it's from you? If you've ever wondered about this, we have an easy solution for you!

Here on SecretSisterGifts.com, we specialize in giving gifts anonymously. If you follow our simple instructions for keeping it anonymous, you may bless someone without them knowing who you are!

1. ​Choose a gift and/or card from SecretSisterGifts.com
2. At checkout, enter your own billing information.
3. Only include your own email and phone number (for order confirmation and tracking updates).
4. Put the recipient's name and address as the shipping information. (Do not use their email address, only yours.)
5. Place your order, and you will receive order updates via email.
6. Your gift will be shipped directly to your Secret Sister or any other person you've chosen to bless.
7. She will receive a lovely gift in a beautiful package, feel blessed, and wonder who had this blessing sent to her!

There are so many ways that you will benefit from being a Secret Sister! I'm not even talking about the excitement of getting gifts or notes from someone else, though that is pretty special. I am referring to how it is refreshing to be a blessing to someone else who doesn't even know it's you who is doing it! You have the opportunity to be planting seeds of kindness into her life at a time that she might be needing that encouragement most in her life. Often we do not even realize how impactful our thoughtfulness is, but it may leave a lifelong memory for that person. Like, "God's love was poured out on me that year through my Secret Sister, and she didn't even know the personal struggles I was going through." God can use you to make a difference in her life.

This has been my business-ministry strategy from the beginning, even when I send gifts and cards anonymously to your Secret Sister on your behalf - I try to make it as beautiful and special as I can so she will be wowed when she opens it. My thoughts are, "This is going to the most important person in the world!" EVERY SINGLE TIME to EVERY SINGLE PERSON! I want to encourage you to be the best Secret Sister you can be, and treat her as if she's the most important person in the world (she is a daughter of the King and God's "masterpiece" - like you - ALL of us being equally and fully loved by Him). That extra effort you put in can offer precious hope and encouragement, and be a reminder of who she is in Christ and how incredibly loved she is. Being a Secret Sister is a wonderful blessing for both of you!

You are creating a special bond with your Secret Sister through your acts of kindness. Especially when you take the time to pray for her - please don't ever let that connection end. I encourage you to keep in contact with your Secret Sister, even after the secret has been revealed. Maybe she will become a forever friend.

If you aren't part of an organized Secret Sister group but would like to be, we have resources to help you start your own group (select Secret Sister Tips on the sidebar of this blog). Or you could just select a person you know (or several) who you will anonymously send uplifting notes or gifts to. It's really fun to share sisterly love, even when (or especially when) you're keeping your identity a secret.

Here is another free printable for your Secret Sister Group! It is for collecting "all about me" details among your group so Secret Sisters can get to know each other. These can be filled out prior to drawing names in your Secret Sister Program and then distributed to the Secret Sister who drew the name on each form. The information on the forms may be used to help Secret Sisters choose gifts and cards for their special recipients.

If you are looking for additional information about starting your own Secret Sister Group, please look through the great ideas we offer on this blog, and check out the resources available on mysecretsister.com as well!

Here is a social "get to know each other" party game for a Secret Sister gathering! Download and print out these party game sheets for the attendees. The women should walk around asking each other questions, and fill in names as they find answers. Obviously there will be multiple possibilities for each attribute. For example, several people there will probably have a pet. Any qualifying name can be added to a person's paper on each section.

You may make your own rules, such as "no repeated names on a sheet" or if it is a smaller group, limit each name to 2 or 3 times per sheet. You should try to get more interaction within the group by having nearly everyone connecting with each other for this game.

You could offer a prize for the first person who completes the game according to your rules. But since this is just for fun, you could just have everyone play the game until everyone has completed their sheets.

This Secret Sister party game would be great for the first gathering of Secret Sisters, before they draw names. Or this could be played at your Secret Sister Reveal Party!

​Have fun!!

A lot of people start Secret Sister groups (mostly through women's church groups) in the Fall, or at the beginning of the year.  Some women's groups take off without meeting for the summer, but that makes it a great time to have Secret Sisters! The women in the group can stay in touch this way, and be in constant encouragement through a Secret Sister program.  Check out our "Secret Sister Tips" category on this blog for more ideas.
