Secret Santa Generator

Draw names for a gift exchange, keep couples from drawing each other, add a budget note, and share a private reveal link with each person — so nobody sees the whole list. Everything runs in your browser; no names are ever sent to a server.

How It Works

The generator collects your participants and any exclusion rules, then finds a random derangement — an assignment where nobody draws themselves and no excluded pair is matched. Names are shuffled with the Fisher–Yates shuffle seeded by the browser's Crypto.getRandomValues() for unbiased results, and the tool retries until it finds a valid arrangement.

Each person's match is packed into a hash-encoded reveal link. The recipient's name lives in the part of the URL after the #, which browsers never send to any server. Open a link and it decodes locally to show that one assignment — so you, the organizer, can run the draw without ever seeing who got whom.
