Sorry! Global Secret Santa 2009 has now closed

Global Secret Santa 2009 has now closed so that Santa can get the gifts sent out for Christmas. Thanks to everyone who took part, we had an amazing response from around the world! Watch this space for more in 2010!

Fancy playing Secret Santa? Course you do. But why waste time trading tat with the same people you see every day when you can go global and help Firebox set a NEW WORLD RECORD for the biggest Secret Santa in history!

Global Secret Santa

Choose a gift from our spectacular range of Secret Santa products.

Add a personal message for the lucky recipient. Be nice!

We deliver your gift straight to a mystery recipient; and likewise, a gift from another participant to you!

To take part simply choose a pressie from our spectacular range of Secret Santa products and add your own personal message. Our team of elves will then deliver it to another random participant of the Global Secret Santa somewhere in the world.

The recipient of your gift could be a bloke in Bhutan, a granny in Guinea or a babe in Bolton. Before you can sing ‘while shepherds washed their socks’ you’ll receive a mystery gift straight back at ya from another participant of the Global Secret Santa phenomenon.

Unlike Secret Santa in the office, not only are you guaranteed to get a gift back in return, but because the gift is from Firebox it’s certain to be brilliant. So c’mon and spread the love. ‘Tis the season to go global!

Choose from the following gifts:

Airfix Classics (British Infantry)
Perfect re-issues of Airfix’s classic 1:32 scale ultra-realistic little plastic military figures. Atten-shun!

Giant Microbe (MRSA)
You won't know whether to say 'aah' or 'argh!' when you're hugging a Microbe, because this cuddly critter is modelled on MRSA. It's a super-bug!

Blooming Decorations
Deck the halls with eco-friendly Christmas decorations embedded with seeds. Simply plant after use and they grow into gorgeous wildflowers. Hark!

Nite Glowring
Clever chemistry, batteryless, no-maintenance light source that glows for up to a decade. Illuminating!

Sharp-End
Utterly infantile pencil sharpener involving a cat with a raised tail and a litter tray to catch the shavings. Guess where the pencil goes? Meow!

Katherine, Buckinghamshire - 26th December 2009
Firebox says: Thanks Katherine!
visitor avatar This was such an amazing idea - too bad I couldn't send a longer message, haha. I didn't receive the gift I wanted, but that's all part of the mystery, hope whoever had mine liked it :D Merry Christmas everyone!
Kyle, Coventry - 21st December 2009
visitor avatar Have just brought another 4 of these, such a brilliant idea for everyone, hope Firebox beat the record and bring it back next year.
Katherine, Buckinghamshire - 19th December 2009
Firebox says: Glad you like them! Just remember folks, we change the contents of the Mystery Box regularly, but if you order more than one at a time you're likely to get the same contents, so make sure the recipients don't work in the same office or share a house together!
visitor avatar Brilliant idea! made my day!
Liam Campbell, Helsby - 18th December 2009
visitor avatar Thank you for the Screaming Monkey! (whoever you are!)What a fun idea. Merry Christmas to everyone.

Will you be doing it again next year firebox? ps. I might have to try and rip the sticker off the box and keep it forever!
Alexandra Chiu, Farnborough - 17th December 2009
visitor avatar Just got my secret santa! i was going to wait till christmas to open it but its just too tempting! Love it!
Liam Campbell, Helsby - 16th December 2009
visitor avatar Just received mine! Had a cubeworld! How awesome? My secret santa has asked me to tweet them pics, But can't find them. (name deleted) Any ideas?
Beki Brown, Barry, Vale Of Glamorgan - 16th December 2009
Firebox says: Ahh, the mysterious benefactor. Sadly, there's no satisfying reveal. That would spoil the mystery and possibly the benefactoriness (we know, it's not a real word).
visitor avatar Dear Firebox you are amazing and I'm a bit in love with you. Global Secret Santa is brilliant.
Rachel, N.Ireland - 16th December 2009
visitor avatar This idea is GENIUS, pure and simple.
