Ready to start?

Creating a list is free, with no commitment, and your guests don't need an account.

Organize a Secret Santa
Do participants need an account?

Yes, a free Gist account, created in a few seconds from the invite link. That's what keeps the draw truly secret: everyone discovers their match in their own space, and gets an e-mail when the draw is done.

Can I add exclusions?
