About Gift Name Picker

One simple job: draw the names

Gift Name Picker is a free Secret Santa generator. Add your group, set any pairs who should not draw each other, and create a draw in which everyone gives and receives one gift. No account or sign-up is required.

Add a budget, date, and party details, then share a personal invitation link with each participant. You choose how to send the invitations; the website does not send emails for you.

Keep the organizing in your hands

The draw runs in your browser. We do not keep a database of your participants or matches. Keep the organizer page open or download your organizer copy before leaving, because reloading the page clears the draw.

Each invitation link contains one match and the party details. Anyone with that link can reveal the match, so share it only with its intended recipient. Read our Privacy Policy for how invitations and optional analytics work.

A hand with the rest of the exchange

Our Secret Santa gift ideas help you choose by budget and recipient. The suggestions are based on product research, not hands-on testing, and include practical reasons a gift might not suit someone. Prices, sellers, and availability can change; check the listing before you buy.
