Can I take part even though I'm organizing?

Yes. The organizer never sees who drew whom, so you draw like everyone else.

What if a relative doesn't have a smartphone?

Open their link on your phone together, or print the result for them. The link only shows their own draw.

We're 6 people with 3 couples. Will it work?

Yes. With three couples excluded there are still valid draws; the tool checks before drawing.

Can we add a cousin who decides to join late?

Yes. Add them from the organizer page; one person gets a new name and the page tells you who to message.

Only the names you type and any wishlists. Everything deletes 60 days after the event date, or earlier if you delete the group.

Family Secret Santa — couples excluded, grandma included

Type everyone's name, mark who shouldn't draw whom (couples, parents and their kids), draw, and send each person a private link on WhatsApp. One gift each instead of twenty. Nobody sees the draw — not even the organizer.

1. Your group

Group name

Budget

Currency

Date

Message to everyone (optional)

2. Participants

One name per line

Optional: add an email after a name and we send that person their link right after the draw. Example: Nora, nora@mail.com — or paste two columns from a spreadsheet.

We only use email addresses to send the links.

0 participants (0 with email) · At least 3 names. You can add yourself too.

3. Who should not draw each other (optional)

For couples, siblings, or people who always end up with each other.

4. How to share the links

I will share the links myself

You get one private link per person to send on WhatsApp, Messenger or anywhere else. No email addresses needed.

Tip: add an email after each name in step 2 and we'll send the links for you.

One gift each, no more panic shopping

The point of a family Secret Santa is that each person buys one thoughtful gift instead of a pile of small ones. Fluky draws the names so nobody has to be the one who knows everything, and the budget on every link keeps it fair between the cousin who's a student and the uncle who isn't.

Couples, siblings and “not again”

Before the draw, mark pairs who shouldn't draw each other: partners, parents and children, or the two people who drew each other last year. The draw respects every rule, and if the rules make it impossible the page tells you instead of quietly breaking one.

Easy for grandparents and kids

Each person gets one link that opens in the phone browser — no app, no account, no password. Send it in the family WhatsApp group with the names in front, or forward it one by one to the relatives who don't do group chats. Children can take part through a parent's phone.

Wishlists that actually help

Everyone can write a short wishlist on their own link — sizes, hobbies, “no candles please”. Only their Secret Santa sees it. Set the exchange date and the budget, and the organizer page shows who has opened their link so you can nudge the slow ones.
