HISTORY OF SECRET PALS
Secret pals have been around since way before modern technology like the internet. Back in the day, Secret pals had to be found the old-fashion way – word of mouth! The concept was simple: each person would write a list of a few gifts they would like for their “pal”, seal it in an envelope and place it in a central location. Then, other people would take an envelope, purchase the gifts, and deliver them anonymously to the recipient. It was so much fun – no one ever knew who gave them their gifts! This tradition has become even more popular today as new technologies give us better ways to stay connected and show our appreciation to others.
