Secret Santa name draw
Add everyone's names. Each person gets their own private link that shows only who they're buying for. No emails, no sign-up.
How the draw works
- It's random and fair. Every valid arrangement is equally likely. Nobody draws themselves, and pairs you keep apart never draw each other.
- Nobody sees the whole list. You get a link for each person. Send each one only their own link, by text, chat or however your group talks.
- You can play too. As the organizer, just open your own link and leave the others alone. The page shows who has opened theirs, without showing any matches.
- Wishlists built in. Everyone can make a wishlist from their private link, and their Santa gets a button straight to it. Nobody has to ask, and the surprise stays a surprise.
Tips for a smooth gift exchange
- Set a budget everyone is comfortable with and stick to it.
- Pick an exchange date early so remote people can ship in time.
- Encourage everyone to share a Christmas wishlist. It saves a lot of guessing.
- Use “Keep people apart” for couples and housemates, who'd buy for each other anyway.
- Want stealing and chaos instead? Here are the white elephant rules and other gift exchange games.
