What is Secret Santa?

Secret Santa — is a festive gift exchange. Everyone receives one person’s name and secretly prepares a surprise just for them.

Each person buys one gift for the name they draw at random. Only the giver knows who they have until the exchange, while wishlists help everyone choose something their recipient will genuinely enjoy.

Clear answers about the rules, privacy, players and gifts — without the complicated wording.

More answers

Secret Santa is a gift exchange where every player secretly prepares a surprise for one person in the group. Who gives to whom remains hidden until the exchange.

Open the game creation page, add a name, date, format and budget, then send one invitation link to everyone. Once the group has joined, the service privately tells each player who they are buying for.

The service assigns names at random and shows each result privately. Other players and the organiser cannot see anyone else’s result.

No. SecretSanta automatically prevents self-draws, so every player prepares a gift for someone else in the group.

No. The organiser manages the game and can see who has joined, but the matches remain private. Each player only knows the person they are buying for.

You need at least three people. The format works for a small family or a large group, and every player receives their own private result.

Yes. Players join through a link, receive their result online and can send gifts by post or delivery service. You do not need to be in the same place.

A wishlist shows a Secret Santa what their recipient would genuinely enjoy. Players can add specific items or links, while the giver still chooses the final surprise with confidence.
