Why families switch to Secret Santa
Buying a gift for everyone gets expensive as families grow. With Secret Santa each person buys one thoughtful gift instead of many small ones, and everyone still opens something on the day.
Exclusions for couples and households
Partners usually buy for each other anyway, so most families exclude couples from drawing each other. Add an exclusion for each pair before you draw. The draw also avoids two people simply swapping, so nobody can work out their Santa from who they drew.
Kids and people without phones
You can add anyone by name yourself. When names are drawn, copy each person's link and send it to a parent, or open it with them. Each link shows only that person's match.
