What is Secret Santa Generator?
The Secret Santa Generator draws gift-exchange pairings in your browser with a seeded, reproducible shuffle. List your participants, add exclusion lines so couples and families never draw each other, and press draw: a cyclic assignment guarantees nobody gets themselves, per-person reveal buttons keep assignments private, and the same seed always reproduces the same result.
Key Benefits
- Reproducible draws you can rerun without changing the outcome
- Exclusion rules for couples, families, and rival teams
- Self-assignment is impossible by design
- Private reveals instead of one public list
- Offline, private, and free - no signup or upload
Common Use Cases
- •Office and classroom gift exchanges before the holidays
- •Family draws where spouses must not draw each other
- •Remote teams handing out assignments over a call
- •Board game groups and clubs running a yearly swap
How to Draw Secret Santa Pairings
- List the participants: Type one name per line into the participants box - at least three people.
- Add exclusions: Optionally add lines like a name, a greater-than sign, then another name to stop couples drawing each other.
- Draw with a seed: Set any seed text and press Draw names - the same seed always reproduces the same pairings.
- Reveal privately: Share the screen or printout and let each person press Reveal for their own assignment only.
