Hello, Evgeny!
The draw in the "Secret Santa" box has been conducted, and you have been assigned a giftee! Hurry to the website to find out who it is!
"Secret Santa" is a popular ceremony of anonymous gift exchange. It's a New Year's game with simple rules: each participant is a Secret Santa for one of the other participants and secretly prepares a gift for them. As a result, everyone gets the joy of preparing a surprise and receiving a gift. This website is a service that helps organize this game online.
How to organize "Secret Santa" using this site?
Step 1. Create a Box, specifying the necessary settings — name, gift price limit, the necessity of providing postal addresses for participants, and others.
Step 2. Invite participants. This can be done in two ways — enter their names and email addresses yourself through a special invitation table or send participants an invitation link, which they can use to create their own card. If you plan to participate in the game yourself — create your own participant card.
Step 3. Wait until all participants register and conduct the draw (you can conduct the draw without waiting for confirmation from all participants). Settings for the box and the draw are available only to you as the organizer. If desired, you can adjust the draw — for example, mark cards so that certain participants do not get each other or make the draw go in a circle, i.e., avoiding a situation where two participants give gifts to each other.
Step 4. Monitor the game and assist players with any arising questions. On the participants' page, it will be shown who confirmed their participation, who already knows their recipient, who is waiting for a gift, and who has already received one. If necessary, you can check who is the Secret Santa for another to control the process (this can be done on the "Who is whose Santa? Participants' table" through the box settings).
Is this a free service?
The site is free for everyone, regardless of the number of participants.
What does "box" mean?
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.
Who is the "box organizer"?
The organizer is the person who organizes the online game among a group of people in a specific box. They invite participants, conduct the draw, and oversee the game's progress. On the page of each box, the name of the organizer is listed at the top with a link to chat with them.
Is there a limit on the number of participants in a box?
There is no limit on the number of participants in the box draw
Is it possible to conduct a draw without creating a box and registering participants?
Yes. If you do not want to create a box and spend time on registering players, you can conduct a Quick Draw, by only specifying names and email addresses in a table — participants will receive notifications with the names of their recipients by email, and you, as the organizer, will receive a link to the page with the draw results.
This method deprives participants of the opportunity to specify their wishes and communicate with their recipient, and the organizer cannot adjust the draw.
The limit for participation in a quick draw is 100 people
Why and for whom was this site created?
Usually, the draw for "Secret Santa" is conducted using pieces of paper with the names of participants — each person from the group draws a piece of paper with the name of their recipient from a hat or a box. As a result, each participant gets a random recipient. Although this method is fun and exciting, it has a couple of inconveniences: first, all participants need to gather in one place beforehand for the draw, and second, there is a chance that the last participant will draw their own name, requiring a redo of the draw.
Once, the creator of the site wanted to play "Secret Santa" with friends, but there was no opportunity to gather everyone together in advance for the draw, so this service was created.
This service is created for those who want to organize a "Secret Santa" game among their friends, colleagues, or any other groups of people.
How to send a gift?
