Free tool
Free Secret Santa generator
Type in everyone's names, press draw, and each person gets their own private link showing only the person they are buying for. No account, no email addresses, no waiting.
Set a budget, add an exchange date, and add rules so couples or siblings never draw each other. In Australia this is often called Kris Kringle, and it works exactly the same way.
