🤔 Got questions?
Secret Santa Generator FAQ
❓
Is this Secret Santa generator really free?
Yes! It's 100% free, with no account, no email, and no limit on how many exchanges you run. Just open it and draw names.
❓
Do I need an account or everyone's email?
Nope. You only type in first names. Your exchange is saved right in your own browser, so you can close the tab and come back later without signing in.
❓
How do I draw names for Secret Santa online?
Tap "Draw Names Now," name your exchange and set a budget, add everyone (with wishlists if you like), then hit draw. The elves match everyone at random in a second, and nobody gets themselves.
❓
How do exclusions work?
In the setup step, mark any two people who shouldn't be paired, like couples or roommates. The draw will never match them, so nobody ends up buying for their own partner.
❓
Can I run it on my phone?
Yes! It works in any modern browser on phones, tablets, and computers. No app to download.
❓
How does everyone find out who they got?
Pass the phone around and let each person tap their own name, or generate a share link and drop it in your group chat so everyone reveals on their own phone. Nobody else sees the result.
❓
What if someone drops out or joins late?
No problem! Add or remove the person and hit redraw. Everyone gets a fresh match, so just let the group know to check again.
❓
Can I use it for work, school, or a big family?
Definitely. It's great for office parties, classrooms, friend groups, and big family exchanges. Exclusions keep households or couples apart, and the printable gift tags make the swap day easy.
❓
Does it give gift ideas?
Yes! After the reveal, you'll see gift ideas that fit the budget you set, plus your person's wishlist if they added one.
