How it works

Add participants

Enter your name and those of all participants. You need at least 3 people to play the game.

Set up your party

Choose a budget, a date and give your party a name. That way everyone knows what to expect.

Invite everyone

Share your party via a link or send the invitations directly by email. We'll handle the rest!

Our advantages

Wishlists

Every participant creates their own wishlist. That way your Secret Santa knows exactly what you'd like to receive.

Gift finder

No inspiration? The gift finder helps you find the perfect present based on interests and budget.

Exclusions

Set who can't draw whom. Handy when certain combinations are better avoided.

Reuse your group

Import your previous party and skip the hassle of re-entering everyone.

One wishlist, multiple parties

With one e-mail address you can join as many parties as you like. Your wishlist travels with you everywhere, and participants can tick off gifts so nobody buys the same thing twice.

17 Languages

Secret Santa is available in 17 languages, so every participant can use the site in their own language.

What organizers say

Santa 404

Sarah M.

Wasn't sure how 50 people would manage but it just ran itself. Everyone got their email, figured it out. Barely had to follow up on anything.

Santa 404

Thomas L.

We've done this since 2015. First year with a Dutch interface was a game changer, my parents could finally read it. Still going every December.

Santa 404

Maria C.

Every other site wanted me to make an account. This one didn't. That's really the whole review.

Santa 404

Lucas V.

We had 80 parents and kids across three classes and I thought it would be a mess. Took about 20 minutes, including me being slow.

Santa 404

Anna D.

My mother-in-law refuses to use anything that needs a login. This is the only one she's never complained about.

Santa 404

Peter K.

Three offices, about 200 people. I paste in the list, send it, done. My predecessor apparently did this all by hand.

Santa 404

Emma R.

Free, no account, no cap on people. Works. That was apparently hard to find.

Santa 404

Javier M.

Used it for our volunteer group last Christmas. Everyone got matched, nobody missed. Nothing else to say.

Santa 404

Sophie L.

Tried two paid apps before this. Still can't tell you what they were offering that this doesn't do for free.

Santa 404

Tony B.

This handled creating a party for a large network effortlessly. More usefully, it let me ensure certain people were kept well apart.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to install an app to use Secret Santa Organizer?

No app download required. Secret Santa Organizer works entirely in your web browser on any device: iPhone, Android, tablet, or desktop computer. Simply open the website, create your party in under 60 seconds, and your participants receive their assignments by email. No installation, no account creation, no friction.

Is Secret Santa Organizer really free to use?

Yes, completely and permanently free. There is no premium plan, no subscription fee, no in-app purchases, and no hidden costs. Secret Santa Organizer has been free since its launch and will remain free. The service is supported by non-intrusive advertising.

How does Secret Santa Organizer compare to other free Secret Santa tools?

Many free Secret Santa tools use a freemium model: basic features are free but key functionality like wishlists, group size limits, or removing ads requires a paid upgrade. Secret Santa Organizer is different: every feature is free, no account is needed, and there is no premium tier. It also supports 17 languages out of the box, making it the best choice for international groups, multicultural families, and global teams.

What is Secret Santa?

Secret Santa (also known as Kris Kringle, Wichteln, Lootjes trekken, Père Noël Secret, or Amigo Invisible) is a Christmas gift exchange tradition. Participants are randomly assigned to give a gift to one other person in the group, keeping the giver's identity secret until the gifts are exchanged. Secret Santa Organizer automates the random draw, sends email assignments to all participants, and includes tools for wishlists, gift ideas, and exclusion rules.
