Free Secret Santa with no signup

No account for the organizer, no account for the participants, no app to install. The draw runs on the page, and the result is a set of private links – one per person. A participant opens their link in a browser and sees only their own match. That is the entire flow.

Email is optional, not required. In link mode no addresses are stored at all – only the first names you type. If you would rather have invitations sent for you, you can add addresses and switch to email mode instead.

The draw is generated server-side with cryptographic randomness, and each result is only readable from its own private link. There is no page – not even the organizer page – that shows the full pairing list. That means the person who sets it up can be in the draw, which is the point of a Secret Santa.

The organizer page does show who has opened their link, so you can nudge the one person who has not looked yet instead of spamming the whole group.

After the draw, one button copies a ready-to-paste message: the group name, the budget and date if you set them, and one line per person with their private link. Paste it into the WhatsApp group and you are done.

There are also preformatted packs for Slack and Teams, plus a nudge message that lists only the people who have not opened their link yet.

It is free, with no paid tier and no upsell inside the exchange. The trade-off: we do not remember your group next December. Names and wishlists are deleted automatically 60 days after the exchange date.

If you want year-over-year groups, a gift-finder shop or suggestion feeds, an account-based platform like DrawNames or Elfster does that well – they earn their signup. If you want the names drawn before dinner with zero friction, that is what this page is for.
