Free Secret Santa Name Picker
Add each participant’s name, then let this Secret Santa picker randomly assign who buys for whom. It is useful for family Christmas gatherings, work teams, classrooms and friend groups.
Everyone is assigned one person, nobody is assigned themselves, and the results can be copied once you are happy with the draw. Much easier than folding paper slips and hoping the dog does not eat half the names.
How To Use This Secret Santa Picker
Enter one participant per line and click Draw Secret Santa Names. The tool creates a random assignment where each person receives one recipient and nobody draws their own name.
Secret Santa Tips
Agree a budget, gift deadline and whether gifts should be funny, useful or anonymous before drawing names. For larger groups, send each person only their own assigned recipient rather than sharing the full list.
Privacy Note
