A FAMILY TRADITION
Secret Santa
Secret Santa
for your family
Bring your family together, agree on a gift budget, and draw names. Everyone can get their result through a private link or take turns on one phone.
Draw Names for Your Family
For 3–9 people · free · no account required.
EASY TO GET READY
One tradition for every generation
For a small family, all you need is a list of names. The organizer can set a budget and exchange date, then send each person a private link to their result. No account, email, or phone number is needed.
01
Agree on the details
Decide who is participating, how much to spend on a gift, and when to get together.
02
Add names
Enter 3–9 participants. If needed, set exclusions for people who should not draw each other.
03
Share the results
Send private links, pass one phone around so everyone can view their result, or print participant cards.
A SCREEN-FREE EXCHANGE
Print and hand out the results
After drawing names, open the participant cards and the organizer’s list separately. You can print or save each as a PDF. Cut out the cards and give each person only their own result. Keep the sheet with all assignments for yourself.
Organizer’s list
All assignments on one sheet. It’s handy for checking who drew whom and keeping the results nearby.

KEEP THE DRAW SECRET
A private result for everyone
In a quick draw, each participant sees who they are giving a gift to. The organizer can send everyone a private link. If you’re together, pass one phone around and reveal each result in turn.
This mode does not include wish lists, so share gift ideas ahead of time in a chat or around the table.

The budget and date will also appear in the result if you set them.
WHEN EVERYONE KNOWS EACH OTHER
Set important exclusions ahead of time
If spouses or close relatives should not draw each other, set exclusions before the draw. Exclusions work both ways. If those rules make a valid draw impossible, the service will ask you to change them.
If family members live in different cities, decide ahead of time who will hand over a gift in person and who will ship one. Participants arrange purchases and delivery themselves.

About the family exchange
Can an odd number of family members participate?
Yes. Everyone gives one gift to a relative and receives one from someone else. The quick draw supports 3–9 people.
Can someone join after names have been drawn?
