Secret Santaonlinein two minutes

A draw secretly assigns each person one recipient. You give a gift to your match — and no one knows who gives to whom. No spreadsheets, no names in a hat, no confusion.

Free, no limits No app needed Works on your phone

A draw with no peeking

Tap “Run the draw” — everyone gets a secret recipient

How it works

Three steps and the gift exchange is live. The organizer counts nothing by hand.

1

Create an event

Name, occasion, budget and date. Pick the Secret Santa format — the rest is filled in for you.

2

Invite the group

One link for everyone — drop it in the chat. People join and enter a name; signing up is optional.

3

Run the draw

The algorithm hands out pairs with no matches and no self-gifts. Each person sees only their own recipient.

Everything the exchange needs

The little things that turn an offline draw into chaos are handled for you here.

Fully anonymous

No one sees the full “who gives to whom” — not even the organizer. Each person sees only their recipient.

Exclusions

Pairs that must not draw each other (spouses, last year’s pairs) are respected in the draw.

Wish list

Each person hints what they’d like — so their Santa picks a gift within budget more easily.

Reminders

The service reminds people about the draw and the upcoming event — no one forgets a gift.

To the calendar

The event and draw dates go to the calendar in one tap — with a countdown.

Budget & rules

Set the gift amount and the theme — everyone plays by the same clear rules.

Frequently asked

What is “Secret Santa”?+

It’s a gift-exchange game: people draw lots, and each one is secretly assigned a person to prepare a gift for. The fun is that no one knows in advance who their Santa is.

Do I need to install an app or sign up?+

No. It all runs in the browser on phone and desktop. The organizer creates the event and shares a link; participants join and enter a name — no separate sign-up needed.

How many people can I invite?+

As many as you like — there’s no participant limit. A family or the whole office.

Is the draw really anonymous?+

Yes. No one sees the full “who gives to whom”, the organizer included. Each participant sees only their own recipient.

Can I forbid certain pairs?+

Yes. The organizer sets exclusions — for example, spouses or last year’s pairs won’t draw each other. The algorithm respects this and leaves no one without a match.

How much does it cost?+

Completely free: every feature, any number of participants, no hidden fees or subscriptions.
