Our mission

Secret Santa should be joyful, not another spreadsheet.

We built a privacy-first generator so families, offices, and online communities can share surprises without collecting emails or forcing logins.

We don’t want inbox spam either—your event lives on a private link, that’s it.

Small teams, big hearts: we reply to feedback because we run our own exchanges too.

Built to calm organizers: quick setup so you can spend time wrapping, not configuring.

Q&A

Answers to the most common questions from Secret Santa organizers and participants.

How do participants get their match?

Once you share the event link, each person can open it to see exactly who they are gifting to—no emails or extra login steps required.

Can we add exclusion rules for certain people?

Yes. When setting up your event you can exclude specific pairings, making it easy to keep couples or family members from drawing one another.

Is it possible to include wish lists or gift ideas?

Each participant can add a wish list so their Secret Santa knows exactly what will make their holiday special. Encourage everyone to drop two or three specific ideas so shopping stays personal.

Does the generator work for remote teams or large groups?

Absolutely. As long as everyone has the event link, they can join from anywhere. There's no limit on group size, and sharing is as simple as sending a link in chat or email.

What if I close the page after creating the event?

The event link is shown only once right after creation for privacy reasons. Save or bookmark it immediately—if it's lost, you'll need to create a new event.
