Secret Santa Generator

Type everyone’s names, add any pairs who should not draw each other, and press Draw names. Nobody gets themselves, and each person taps their own name to privately see who they buy for.

How to use: Enter at least 3 names (one per line), optional exclusions such as “Aman, Riya”, and a gift budget, then press Draw names and pass the phone around.

Draw Secret Santa names in seconds, with exclusions, and let each person see only their own match.

How does the Secret Santa draw work?

The tool shuffles everyone with your browser’s secure random number generator and finds an assignment where nobody draws themselves and no excluded pair draws each other. If your exclusions make a fair draw impossible, it tells you instead of breaking the rules.
