Gift Exchange

No signup

Secret Santa With No Signup

There is no registration wall between you and a finished draw. No username, no password, no “verify your account” step — just the names of the people exchanging gifts.

Start a Secret SantaHow exclusions work

Start the draw immediately

The generator loads directly on the Secret Santa page. Type a name and press Enter, or paste a list copied from a spreadsheet. The participant list, budget, date, and exclusion controls are all on the same screen, and the draw button is right there.

When the draw succeeds, you are taken to a private organizer page. That page is the closest thing to an account: bookmark it, because it is how you return to copy links later.

What replaces an account

A long random token in the organizer URL replaces a login. The token is generated with secure randomness and cannot be guessed. The server stores only a hash of it, so even a database dump does not reveal working links.

The trade-off is simple: anyone with the organizer link can manage the exchange, so keep it private. There is no password recovery because there is no password.

Built for one-off exchanges

Most gift exchanges happen once a year. Asking people to create an account for a single draw adds friction and stores data that nobody needs afterward. This tool keeps the workflow short and lets the event expire automatically after 90 days.

If you run the same group next year, you can reuse your name list but create a fresh draw. New tokens are generated every time, so old links never expose the new assignments.

Works on a phone

The layout is mobile-first: large tap targets, a single-column form on small screens, and straightforward native controls for budget and date. Organizers often set up the exchange while commuting or standing in line, then share links from the same device.

Create your first draw — no signup required.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to create an account?

No. There is no registration step. You land on the page, add names, and draw immediately. The organizer link is your only credential.

How long does setup take?

Adding a group of ten takes well under a minute. Paste a list or type names one by one, optionally add a budget and date, then draw.

Is there a limit on participants?

You can add between 2 and 100 participants.

Can I change the draw after creating it?

The draw is created once to keep results stable. If you need a different draw, create a new exchange with the same names and share the new links.
