Draw Secret Santa names online.
Invite everyone with one link. Each person sees only who they're buying for, along with that person's wishlist.
Secret Santa, also called Kris Kringle or a gift exchange, is a game where everyone in a group draws one person to buy a present for. Wishfox runs the draw for you, so there are no paper slips and nobody draws their own name. Invite people with a link or a code, set a budget, and draw names in one click. Each person sees only their own match, and not even the organizer can see the full draw. Friends can join without an account.

Frequently asked questions
- Is this Secret Santa generator free?
Yes. Wishfox is free and ad-free, and there are no paid tiers for groups or the draw.
- Do participants need an account?
No. Only the organizer needs a Wishfox account. Everyone else joins with their name and email and comes back through a link sent to their inbox.
- Can the organizer see who drew whom?
No, not even the organizer can peek. Each person sees only who they drew, so the organizer can play along too.
- How many people do I need?
At least three. With only two, each person would know who drew them.
- Can people join after the draw?
No. Drawing names locks the group, so nobody can join or leave afterwards. Wait until everyone is in before you draw.
- Can we set a budget?
Yes. Set a budget per gift when you create the group. Everyone in the group can see it, so all the gifts end up worth about the same.
- How will my Secret Santa know what to get me?
Members can add their wishlists to the group. Whoever draws you sees your lists right next to your name and can reserve a gift without you ever finding out.
- Can we draw names without meeting up?
Yes. The whole draw happens online, so it works for remote teams, families in different cities, and friends who only meet at the party.
