Organizer tips
Throw an unforgettable Secret Santa
Small details make all the difference when it's time to swap gifts.
Set the budget
Agree upfront on 'gifts up to $50' before drawing. Avoids awkwardness and keeps things fair.
Set a date and place
Give plenty of notice about when and where to swap — everyone needs time to organize.
Ask for wish lists
List two or three gift ideas per participant. Gift-givers thank you, and recipients love it.
Enable WhatsApp delivery
For groups where email filters or no one checks, WhatsApp Premium guarantees everyone sees their match.

Frequently asked questions
The most common answers about online Secret Santa.
How does the draw keep the secret?
The algorithm generates the pairs and sends them directly to each participant by email (or WhatsApp). Not even you, the organizer, sees the full map — only the pairs arrive, individually, in each inbox.
Do I need to create an account to draw?
No. You provide the group name, your name and email, and the group is created. Participants don't need to sign up either: they join via the shared link.
Is there an app?
Yes — and a real one. Native app on the App Store and Google Play, just download and use, no annoying banner every 20 seconds like on other sites. Competitors don't even offer a real app.
Can I block pairs (couples, siblings, teammates)?
Yes, with the Advanced Restrictions feature ($2.99, one-time payment per draw). The algorithm respects all exclusions and re-runs the draw until it finds a valid combination.
How does WhatsApp delivery work?
With WhatsApp Premium ($1.19 per draw), each participant receives their match directly on WhatsApp automatically, 24/7. We pioneered this feature — no competitor offers WhatsApp delivery. Ideal for groups where email filters or no one checks the inbox.
Is there a participant limit?
No. The algorithm is fast at any group size, from small gatherings to hundreds of people.
Is it really free?
Yes, the essentials are free: unlimited groups, drawing, email delivery, wish list. Only two features are paid per draw: WhatsApp Premium ($1.19) and Advanced Restrictions ($2.99).
