Frequently Asked Questions
How does this Secret Santa generator work?
Type everyone’s name, add any pairs who should not draw each other, and press Draw Names. You get one private link per person. Each link only shows that person who they are buying for.
Is it really free and private?
Yes. The draw happens in your browser and nothing is saved on our servers. Each match is tucked inside that person’s private link and never shown on the organizer’s screen, so as long as everyone opens only their own link, the surprise stays safe.
Can I stop couples from drawing each other?
Yes. In the exclusions box, write two names per line separated by a comma, like "Anna, Ben". The generator will never pair those people in either direction.
What if someone loses their link?
Keep the results page open or copy all links into a note before you close it. If a link is lost, simply draw again and send everyone their new link.
