Secret Santa, free and nothing to download
An online Secret Santa generator with no emails, no sign-ups and no slips of paper in a hat. Add the participants and mark any pairs who can't draw each other. You can do it two ways: pass one phone around so each person secretly sees who they're buying for, or each on your own phone, by creating a room and sharing the link, even if you're not together. Not even the organizer can see the full draw, so the surprise is guaranteed.
Tips and variations
- Add exclusions so couples don't draw each other.
- Set a maximum budget and the exchange day so everyone sees them when they find out their name.
- If you pass the phone, each person should check their result away from the others and tap done before passing it. If you each use your own, write the name down: the room deletes itself.
