A Secret Saxton is a purchasable tool item. It is a gift that, when used on a server, gives a random gift to one random player. The name is likely a play on the popular practice of Template:W, which involves people pooling up wrapped, unmarked gifts, then randomly distributing them amongst themselves.

Description
A Secret Saxton is not tradable, craftable, or findable via item drop, as it can only be acquired through the Mann Co. Store. Upon its use, a random item is given to a random player in the current server, a notification is displayed to all players in the server and applause and cheers can be heard. The recipient will then receive an item as if it were a drop; that is, they will receive the item upon their next death or entrance to the Mann Co. Store.
A Secret Saxton is used by either pressing the Use button in the Backpack, or by being placed in the Action Slot of the player's class loadout, followed by pressing the "Use Item in Action Slot" key (default: 'H').
It is possible to simply join a server with just one other player, in order to guarantee that they receive the gift. It is not possible, however, for a player to grant the gift to themselves.
Contents
Items acquired through the Secret Saxton will be marked as gifts from the user and timestamped with the receipt time and date. Most items normally found by drop (like weapons, hats and a few action items) are possible to be found as a result of a gift's opening. All gifts received are tradable and craftable. Unusual Hats or Mann Co. Supply Crates cannot be found from Secret Saxtons.
Pricing
If you're purchasing a Pile o' Gifts from the store using £ rather than $/€, it's currently cheaper to buy 23 individual Secret Saxtons - £13.57 vs. £14.99 for the Pile o' Gifts. If you buy the Pile o' Gifts in $/€, you get a bulk discount of nearly 15%, but if you buy it in £ you get a bulk surcharge of over 10%.
If the £/$ ratio of Secret Saxton prices is taken as a fair starting point, a fair price for the Pile o' Gifts would be 20 × £0.59 = £11.80. However, doing this gives a chance for players to receive multiple items and others to receive nothing, as opposed to a Pile o' Gifts where all 23 players shall receive one item each.
