  Frequently Asked Questions

How do I organize a Secret Santa?

In three simple steps:

1. Enter the names of all participants
2. Set up any exclusions (optional)
3. Send the Secret Santa to all participants.

Can I set up exclusions?

Yes. By setting up exclusions, you can prevent a participant from drawing a specific name. This is a useful feature if e.g. partners should not be able to draw each other.

You can create one-way exclusions and two-way (mutual) exclusions. Here are some examples:

• Alice cannot draw Bob. (One-way exclusion.)
• Bob cannot draw Charlie and vice versa. (Two-way exclusion.)

Setting up exclusions is completely optional.

How do I send the drawn names?

The organizer of the Secret Santa sends the drawn names to all participants. This can be done in a variety of ways, including email and WhatsApp.

Each participant opens the link they received, and views their drawn name.

Can participants create a wishlist?

Yes! When viewing their drawn name, participants will have the option to create a wishlist.

The participant's Secret Santa will be able to view their wishlist automatically.

Creating a wishlist is completely optional.

Can I ask my drawn name a question anonymously?

Yes. You can ask your drawn name a question anonymously. Useful if you have a question about their wishlist!
