Secret Santa Questionnaire: The Questions to Ask (Free Printable + Online Form Template)

You've drawn a name for this year's Secret Santa, and it belongs to the coworker you mostly know by their coffee mug. Now you have a budget and a deadline, but no real idea what they'd like.

A short Secret Santa questionnaire fixes that before anyone heads to the store. Everyone answers a few questions about what they love and what they'd rather not get, so the person who drew their name shops with real answers.

Below you'll find 50 questions sorted by who's playing, plus a free printable PDF and an online version you can build in WPForms. The same gift exchange questionnaire works for an office, a classroom, or the whole family.

How to Create a Digital Permission Slip Parents Can Sign Online (Free Template)

If your permission slips go home in backpacks, you probably spend the week before every trip chasing the missing ones. The slips that do come back are often crumpled or missing a signature.

This guide gives you a free permission slip template to copy, plus a digital version parents can fill in and sign on their phone, so you know who's coming before the bus leaves.

Do You Need a Separate Form Analytics Tool?

You've got a form that isn't converting as well as you'd like, and you can't tell which part of it is losing people. That's usually the moment someone starts looking at form analytics tools.

The good news is that if you're already using WPForms, you don't need a separate form analytics tool, as the plugin offers native analytics all the way down to field-level insights!

In this post I'll cover what built-in form reports already track, where a dedicated tool may still earn its place, and how both compare to wiring up form tracking in Google Analytics.

Survey Ranking vs. Rating Questions: Which is the Best Option For You?

You asked 200 people how important five new features were and every one came back with an average between 3.8 and 4.2.

Your roadmap meeting is tomorrow, and the data you paid for cannot tell you which feature to build first. This is exactly the kind of dilemma that a Ranking field can solve.

A rating scale lets people agree with everything, and most of them do, which is why five good ideas all land in the same narrow band.

Ranking questions work differently, and this post covers when to use each one, with example questions you can copy and a rule for choosing between them.

Static vs. Dynamic QR Codes: Which One Your Form Actually Needs

You've got a poster or a vehicle decal heading to the printer, and somewhere in the artwork sits a square where a QR code goes.

Then you start reading about which kind to generate, and every guide hands you two choices: static QR codes and dynamic QR codes.

In simple words, a static QR code is usually free and permanent, whereas a dynamic QR code costs money every month but lets you change where it sends people.

In this guide, I'll go into more detail on what each type does, the trade-offs for both, and the cases where each option is relevant, particularly for forms.

How to Create a QR Code for an Event Registration Form

You print 200 flyers for your event, hand them out at every café and counter in town, and then wait. Some people will remember the URL, but most won't!

That's the gap a QR code closes, so the person holding your flyer doesn't have to remember anything or type anything. They scan, your registration form opens, and they're on the list.

WPForms builds the registration form and the QR code that opens it in the same place, so you only need one plugin and about ten minutes.
