Gift CompassSecret Santa without the hat
Draw names in minutes. Everyone adds what they'd love, nobody sees who drew whom, and the surprise stays a surprise.
Start a Secret SantaHow it works
Create the group
Name it, set a budget and pick the day you'll swap gifts.
Invite everyone
Share one link. People join with their name and email.
Draw names
Each person finds out who they're buying for, and sees that person's wish list.
Why it's different
- The organiser can't peek. Nobody, including whoever set it up, can see who drew whom.
- Wish lists that keep the surprise. Mark a gift as bought and the person it's for never finds out.
- No ads, and your details stay yours. We never sell your data. Shop links may earn us a small commission, which never changes the price.
- Made in the UK, by one person who wanted a better family Secret Santa.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes. Running a Secret Santa costs nothing.
Does everyone need an account?
Only the organiser needs an account to set it up. Everyone else joins from the invite link with a name and email.
Can I stop two people drawing each other?
Yes. Add exclusions before the draw, for example so partners don't draw each other.
What if someone joins late or drops out?
The group can be repaired after the draw, so only the people affected get a new name.
Can I see who drew whom?
No. The draw is private to each person, organiser included.
