How does it work?

Fill in the names

To organise your Secret Santa, enter the names of the people you would like to include. Once you confirm a group, you can still add or delete participants.

Add exclusions and group details

If there are enough group members, you can make exclusions: who shouldn’t draw whom. You can also add details like a group name and the date of the celebration.

Send the invitations

Once the group is created, invitations need to be sent. You can do this via email, text message, WhatsApp or other social media.
