How to draw names online
Set up the exchange, send one link, then draw names once everyone's in.
- Step 1
Add the names, the date and a budget
Name the exchange, pick the day and set one budget everyone shops to. Add everyone by name and mark the pairs who shouldn't draw each other.
- Email addresses are optional
- Pairs you mark never draw each other
- Join the draw yourself, or just run it
- Step 2
Send one link, everyone claims their name
Drop the group link in the family chat, an email or a text. People open it, tap their name and they're in, without installing an app.
- Works in the browser on any modern phone
- No account needed to join
- See who has joined at a glance
- Step 3
Draw names without seeing the matches
Tap Draw names and everyone gets a private page showing who they're buying for. Your organizer view shows who has joined, looked and got a gift ready, never who drew whom.
- Nobody draws their own name
- Matches never appear in the organizer view
- Send email reminders to people who are behind
A draw you can trust
One wrong match spoils the surprise for the whole group. These rules hold for every exchange.
- Nobody draws themselves
- Everyone gives one gift and gets one. Nobody ends up with their own name, and nobody is picked twice.
- Exclusions always hold
- Keep couples, siblings or anyone else apart. If your pairs make a fair draw impossible, you'll know before any names are drawn.
- The organizer view hides the matches
- The organizer view shows who's in and who's ready, never the matches. If you join the draw, you see only your own person.
- Mistakes can be fixed
- Add or remove someone after the draw and WishApp tries to keep the existing matches, as long as a valid draw still exists. You never see who changed.
- One budget for everyone
- Set an amount and it shows up next to every match, as a guide for every gift.
- Free, with no ads
- No ads, no paywall and no marketing email for your group. Any group from 3 to 100 people.
Secret Santa questions
You add everyone's name, and the generator matches each person with someone else to buy a gift for. On WishApp, each person then opens a private page that shows only their own match, with the budget and that person's wishlist or gift notes.
Yes. Drawing names, exclusions, budgets, reminders and wishlists are all free. There are no ads and no paywall when your group grows.
Yes. The organizer adds people by name and shares one group link. Everyone opens it, claims their name and later sees who they drew, all without an account. An email is optional: it tells you when names are drawn and gets your link back if you lose it. Only the organizer needs a free account.
Yes. Add the pairs who shouldn't draw each other, and the draw always keeps them apart in both directions. If your pairs make a valid draw impossible, WishApp tells you before any names are drawn.
Yes. The organizer view shows who has joined, who has looked at their match and who has a gift ready, never who drew whom. If you join the draw yourself, you see your own match on your private page, like everyone else.
Any group from 3 to 100 people works, odd or even. Everyone gives one gift and gets one, so nobody is left out.
The organizer can remove or add people after drawing. WishApp tries to keep the existing matches and never shows the organizer who was affected. If someone has already seen their match, you confirm before anything changes.
Yes, if you attach one. Sign in with a free WishApp account and pick a wishlist on your private page, and your Santa can shop straight from it. Without an account, you can leave sizes, likes and things not to buy instead.
