🎅 How Secret Santa Works

Secret Santa is a holiday gift exchange tradition where each participant is randomly assigned another person to buy a gift for. The identity of each gift giver remains a secret until the gifts are opened. It's a fun way to exchange gifts without everyone needing to buy for everyone else.

How to Use This Tool

Add the names of everyone participating (you need at least 3 people). Set an optional budget, then click "Draw Names" to randomly assign each person someone to buy for. The results are hidden behind cards — click each card to reveal the assignment. Show each person only their own card to keep it secret!

Secret Santa Tips

Set a clear budget that works for everyone — $20-$30 is the most common range. Give a deadline for when gifts should be ready. Consider creating a wish list exchange so people have ideas. And most importantly, keep it fun and low-pressure!
