Fluky

Secret Santa generator – free, no sign-up

Draw names for Secret Santa in under a minute. Add everyone, set a budget and a date, keep couples apart, and send each person a private link. No accounts, no app, and the organizer never sees who drew whom.

1. Your group

2. Participants

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.

0 participants · 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.

Email everyone — Anyone with an email address gets their link automatically right after the draw.

How it works

  1. 1

    Add everyone

    Paste the names, one per line. Add a budget, a date and anyone who shouldn't draw each other.

  2. 2

    Draw names

    Fluky makes a random circle where nobody draws themselves. You never see the result.

  3. 3

    Send the private links

    Each person gets their own link – paste them into WhatsApp, Slack or a message, one per person.

How the Secret Santa generator works

Type a group name, an optional budget and date, and a short message everyone will see. Paste your participants one name per line — a list copied from a spreadsheet or a chat works as-is. Add exclusions for the pairs who should not draw each other, then press Draw names. Fluky builds a random circle where nobody draws themselves and no excluded pair is matched, and takes you to a private organizer page with one link per person.

Three ways to run it. By WhatsApp or chat: use the Copy all links button and paste the message into your group, then send each person their own line — no email addresses required. Person to person: copy the links one at a time from the organizer page. In the office: open each link on the person's screen, or print the page and hand out the slips.

Rules and ideas that work. Agree on a budget before the draw so nobody overspends, and set a date for the wishlists as well as the gifts. Dirty Santa or White Elephant, where gifts can be stolen, is a different game — for that everyone brings one wrapped gift and no draw is needed. Wishlists take the guesswork out: each person can write theirs on their own link, and only the person who drew them can read it.

The organizer page is the only way back to your group, so bookmark it. It shows who has opened their link, lets you add someone after the draw and lets you delete everything at once. It never shows the assignments — not even yours if you take part.

Popular use cases

  • Office Secret Santa: paste the team list, set a 20 budget and hand out one link per desk without collecting a single email address.
  • Family gift exchange: keep couples and siblings from drawing each other, and let everyone add a wishlist their giver can read.
  • Friends on WhatsApp: copy all the links as one ready-made message and paste it into the group chat, then send each person their own line.
  • Classroom or club draw: run the draw on the board, print the links or send them out, and add a latecomer afterwards without redoing the draw.
  • Remote teams: everybody opens their own link wherever they are, and you can see who has looked and who still needs a nudge.

Frequently asked questions

No. The organizer page only shows names and whether each link has been opened. Assignments are never displayed anywhere except on each participant's own private link.

No. The default way to run a draw is one private link per person that you share yourself, on WhatsApp or anywhere else. Nothing is stored beyond first names and anything people choose to write in a wishlist.

Yes. Add them as an excluded pair before the draw and the rule applies both ways. If your exclusions make a valid draw impossible, Fluky tells you before it draws instead of failing halfway.

Yes. Adding a person slots them into the existing circle: one participant now gives to the newcomer, and the newcomer gives to that person's original match. Everyone else keeps their name.

Names, optional email addresses and wishlists, nothing else. Everything is deleted automatically 60 days after the event date, you can delete the group yourself at any time, and each participant can clear their own details from their link.

Yes. There is no paid tier, no ads inside the draw and no account. Every feature is free.

After the draw you get one private link per person. They open their link and see only their own match, plus that person's wishlist if they wrote one.

Yes. Set a budget and an exchange date when you create the group – everyone sees them. Each participant can write a wishlist on their own page, and only the person who drew them sees it.

Yes. The organiser page has a ready-made WhatsApp message with every link, plus versions for Slack and Teams. You can also copy each link on its own and send it privately.
