Secret Santa Generator: Draw Names Online, Free

Draw names

Secret Santa, without the hat

Draw names for a gift exchange and email everyone a private link to their match. Or use the quick draw for teams and turn order.

Can I see who drew whom?: No. The page never shows matches to anyone but the person they belong to, including whoever set the draw up. That means you can take part yourself and still be surprised. The matches are stored on our server until the draw expires, but nothing shows them to anyone else.
What do you store, and for how long?: The draw's name and budget, each person's name, email and optional gift ideas, and who drew whom. It's all deleted after 60 days. Emails are used only to send each person their link.
What if somebody doesn't get their email?: Ask them to check their spam folder first. If it still hasn't arrived, the simplest fix is to run the draw again with the right address.
What if my exclusions make the draw impossible?: We tell you before anything is sent. This happens when too many pairs are excluded for everyone to have someone left to buy for. Remove one or two pairs and try again.
How many people can take part?: Between 3 and 30 for Secret Santa. The quick draw has no email step and nothing is stored, so use it for teams, turn order or picking one name.
Is it free?: Yes. There's no sign-up.
