How to create a Secret Santa

Start by setting up a gift swap, inviting your group, managing any exclusions, and then revealing who each person will give a gift to.

Create the gift swap

  1. Choose Gift Swapping

    In this type of event, each person is matched with one recipient.

  2. Add the event details

    Add the event name, date, a short description, and any budget guidelines.

  3. Invite the group

    You can invite people by email if you know who's joining, share a join link for self-registration, or use both options.

  4. Configure pairing

    Decide if pairings should be secret or visible, set any exclusions, and then either pair people automatically or assign recipients yourself.

  5. Review and launch

    Review all your settings before you send invitations or share the join link.
