Made for the groups you're actually in

Family

One present each instead of twelve. Less money, more thought, and Gran still gets something she'll use.

The office

A budget everyone can manage, exclusions for managers and their reports, and nobody left out because they joined last month.

Far apart

Post the parcels, open them on a call. The draw and the wishes work the same from anywhere.

Questions people ask

How does Secret Santa work?
Each participant randomly draws another person's name and buys a gift for them while keeping their identity secret until the gift exchange. Our system handles the random drawing digitally and notifies everyone privately.
Do I need to enter my email?
Yes, you need your email so we can send you important details about your secret santa like who you have drawn and reminders before your deadline. We follow strict GDPR guidelines so will never send you unwanted promotional information
Creating my wishlist with the Gifty app
Alongside our secret santa we have a gift list mobile application on Android and iOS where you can create a wishlist to share with your secret santa as well as friends and family. You can find it from the 'get the app' section of our site or by searching 'Gifty app' in the app store
What happens if someone doesn't participate after signing up?
Unfortunately we cannot adjust name draws once the group has been created. We recommend encouraging all initial participants to buy a gift for their recipient or recreating the group.
Is there a way to exclude certain pairings?
Yes. When you add the names, tap 'Keep anyone apart?' and choose who each person must not draw. Handy for couples, housemates, or a manager and their team. We check that the draw still works before you continue.
What if I lose my secret santa group or someone loses their secret santa assignment?
When you create your Secret Santa we give you one link, and everyone can open it any time to see who they have drawn. If you have lost the link, use the 'Need a hand?' button on any Secret Santa page and we will find your group.
Is my information kept private?
Yes, we follow strict privacy guidelines. Your gift preferences are only shared with the necessary person (your Secret Santa) and is never used for marketing or shared with third parties.
Is this secret santa free?
Yes, this secret santa is completely free to use and we don't give your data to any third parties.
