Run a Secret Santa in three steps
No spreadsheets, no drawing names from a hat, no accidental spoilers. Here's the whole thing.
Create your group
Name your exchange, set a gift budget, and pick your draw date. It takes about 90 seconds.
Invite everyone
Share one link or send email invites. Add exclusions so couples don't draw each other.
Draw & gift
Hit draw and everyone privately sees who they've got, plus their wish list. That's it.
Try it yourself — no signup needed
Add your people, hit draw, and everyone gets a secret match, instantly and anonymously.
More than a name generator
All the little things that make a gift exchange actually run smoothly, built right in.
Instant, fair draw
Our matching guarantees no one draws themselves and every exclusion rule is respected.
Wish lists
Everyone adds gift ideas and links, so their Santa always knows exactly what to buy.
Set a budget
Pick a spending limit up front so every gift feels fair and no one over- or under-spends.
Exclusion rules
Stop partners, roommates, or last year's pairs from matching, with one tap each.
Anonymous chat
Santas can ask "what's your size?" without blowing their cover. Fully anonymous Q&A.
Reminders
Automatic nudges before the draw and the gift date, so nobody forgets to shop.
Family, friends, or the whole office
Whether you're across the dinner table or across the country, everyone plays from their phone.

Groups that stopped dreading the admin
"We have 22 people spread across three states. This is the first year nobody emailed me asking who they got. The wish lists alone were worth it."
"Set up our office exchange of 40 during a coffee break. The exclusion rules meant teammates didn't get their own manager. Slick."
"The anonymous chat is genius. My Santa asked my ring size without me ever knowing who it was. Gift was perfect on the 25th."
