Run the Draw
Invite everyone with a link. When they have joined and filled in their cards, add exclusions if you need them and start the draw. Each person privately finds out who they get to surprise with a gift.
ChristopherLetter to Secret Santa
Hi, Secret Santa! I almost managed to stay on the nice list all year. I love books, cozy blankets, and funny socks. And I already have so many mugs, they might start exchanging gifts with each other.

Follow the Game
After the draw, watch participant statuses and step in if questions come up. Send reminders, reply in chat, and help everyone prepare and send their gifts on time.
Secret Santa is a game with an anonymous gift exchange. Each person is randomly assigned someone to prepare a gift for, and who got whom stays secret until the draw.
Santa-Secret helps you organize the whole game online: invite people, collect wishes, run the draw, and follow the exchange.
Only need the draw? Use our free Secret Santa randomizer. Add names and randomly assign who gives a gift to whom.
Step 1. Create a game: pick a name, set a gift budget, and adjust the rules if you need to.
Step 2. Send people a link. Registration and email are optional — everyone can join and write a letter to Santa with their wishes.
Step 3. When everyone is ready, set exclusions and run the draw. For example, you can keep certain people from drawing each other.
Step 4. Follow the game: check participant statuses, help in chat, and look up who is giving to whom if you need to.
The site is free for everyone, regardless of the number of participants.
Usually, for the "Secret Santa" draw, someone's hat, bag, or a box is used, into which all participants drop their names. The box on this site represents a place where game participants "drop off" their cards with names for participation and where the draw takes place.
The organizer creates the game and helps it run smoothly. They invite people, set rules and exclusions, run the draw, and follow the exchange.
The organizer can see participant statuses, help in a special chat, and check who is whose Secret Santa if someone has a question or a problem with a gift.
There is no limit on the number of participants in the box draw
Yes. If you only need the draw — without wish lists or chat — use Quick Draw: add names, set exclusions if you need them, and get a personal result link for each person. No registration or email: you can share the links in a messenger or group chat.
The full game also lets people write wishes, add an address, and use anonymous chat, while the organizer follows the exchange.
Quick Draw supports up to 100 people.
Santa-Secret is for anyone who wants to run Secret Santa for friends, coworkers, family, a class, or another group — without spending the holiday on organizing chaos.
Participants just join by link and share their wishes. The organizer can set up the draw, follow the game, and help if something does not go as planned.
