Secret Santa, minus the hat.
Five steps, about a minute of setup, and nobody sees the matches. Not even you.
Five steps to done.
Your dashboard always shows the one next step, so you never have to wonder what to do.
Step 1: Start an exchange
Create a free account, name your exchange, and add a budget and gift day if you like. You’re the only one who signs up.
- Takes about a minute
- Budget and gift day are optional
- Add a note for everyone
- Free for up to 10 people
Step 2: Add your people
Type a name and email, or paste a whole list at once. Want gift ideas up front? Send wishlist invites so everyone can add what they’d love.
- Paste “Name, email” one per line
- Nobody else needs an account
- Optional wishlist invite emails
- Edit or remove anyone before the draw
Step 3: Set who can’t match
Optional. Put couples, siblings or roommates in the same group and they’ll never draw each other.
- As many rules as you need
- Each person can be in one group
- Rules are checked on every draw
- We’ll tell you if the rules leave no valid draw
Step 4: Draw names
Once at least 3 people are in, one click pairs everyone at random and seals the results. You won’t see who got who.
- Secure random shuffle
- Nobody draws themselves
- Hidden from you, the organizer
- Re-draw any time before sending
Step 5: Send the matches
Everyone gets a private email with who they’re buying for, the budget, the gift day and a link to that person’s wishlist.
- One private link per person
- See who has opened their match
- Remind anyone who hasn’t
- Resend if an email bounces
What your people get
No accounts and no app. Just a couple of emails with links that belong to them.
- Optional
A wishlist invite
If you send invites, each person gets a link to add gift ideas: product links, sizes, colors, anything that helps. They can edit until you draw names.
- When you send
Their secret match
A private email saying who they’re buying for, with the budget and gift day. No account, no app, nothing to download.
- From the email
A private match page
The button in their email opens a page just for them with their person’s wishlist and shop links. Only their email has that link.
Match links are unique to each person and never shown to the organizer.
Quick questions

No. Only you, the organizer, sign up. Everyone else just gets emails with private links. No password, no app.
No, and that’s on purpose. Matches are hidden from you too, so you can join your own exchange without spoiling it. Your dashboard only shows whether each person has opened their match.
Before you send matches, unlock the list, make your changes and draw again. Once matches are sent, they’re final.
Yes for most groups: up to 10 people per exchange and 5 exchanges, with wishlists, rules and emails included. Bigger groups can get the Pro Season Pass.
