DrawKind Secret Santa
Private Secret Santa draws with exclusions and reveal links, plus White Elephant turn orders and rules.
DrawKind Secret Santa runs a fair, private gift exchange from a chat. List the people, the couples or households who should not draw each other, a budget and a date. Everyone gets their own reveal link that shows only whom they are buying for, with the recipient's wish list. Nobody, not even the organizer, sees the full list unless they ask for it. For White Elephant (Yankee Swap) parties it shuffles a fair turn order and prints the rules with a steal limit and a gift tracker.
What it does
- Private reveal links: each person sees only their own recipient; the pairings are encrypted inside the links
- Exclusions for couples, households, one-way rules, and last year's pairs; optional no 2-person loops rule
- Every valid arrangement is equally likely, and impossible rule sets are explained in plain language
- Budget, exchange date, wish lists and an organizer note on every reveal page, in 7 languages
- Copy-ready messages for each person, ready for text, WhatsApp, or email, with no sign-up or email addresses
- White Elephant turn order, steal-limit rules, a printable PDF and a gift tracker sheet
