Secret Santa
The Secret Santa generator with real wishlists
Draw names for your gift exchange in minutes. Everyone joins from one link, sees who they got, and shops from a proper wishlist instead of guessing. Free, with no ads and no paywalls.
How the gift exchange works
Set it up once, share a link, and the draw takes care of itself. Three steps from empty page to drawn names.
Create your gift exchange
Name the exchange, pick the date, and set a budget so nobody overspends. Adding people takes seconds, and you can keep couples from drawing each other.
- Set an event date and a gift budget
- Add everyone by name, email optional
- Exclusions keep couples from drawing each other
Family Christmas

- Works in any browser on any phone
- No account needed to join

Draw names and shop the wishlist
One tap draws the names. Everyone gets a private reveal of who they're buying for, with the budget and their person's wishlist right there. The organizer can't see who drew whom, so the surprise holds for everyone.
- Nobody ever draws themselves
- Matches stay hidden, even from the organizer
- Wishlists auto-fill from any store link

Anna
$25 budgetMore than a name picker
Most Secret Santa generators stop once the names are drawn. WishApp is a wishlist app first, so the gift part works too.
No ads, no paywalls
Free for any group. No surprise charge when your office party grows past ten people.
Exclusions that work
Keep couples, siblings, or last year's pairs apart. If a combination is impossible, you'll know before the draw.
A budget everyone sees
Set one number and it shows up next to every drawn name. No awkward gift gaps.
The organizer stays blind
Whoever runs the draw can't peek at the matches. Their surprise survives too.
Real wishlists
Paste a link from any store and the title, photo, and price fill in on their own.
Made for phones
Grandparents included. Open the link, tap your name, see your person.
Secret Santa questions
Is the Secret Santa generator free?
Yes. Drawing names, wishlists, exclusions, budgets, all of it. There are no ads and no player limits hiding behind a paywall.
Do people need an account to join?
No. Participants open the group link, claim their name, and later see who they drew. Only the organizer creates a free account, so the exchange isn't lost if a phone dies.
Can I stop couples from drawing each other?
Yes. Add exclusions when you set up the draw and they're always honored. If your rules make a valid draw impossible, WishApp tells you up front instead of failing halfway.
Can the organizer see who got who?
No. Each match is visible only to the person who drew the name. The organizer sees who has joined and who's ready, never the matches themselves.
How many people can join a gift exchange?
From 3 up to 100 people. That covers families, classrooms, friend groups, and most office parties.
What if someone drops out after the draw?
The organizer can remove or add people after drawing. WishApp quietly rematches as few people as possible and never shows the organizer who was affected.
