How It Works
Learn how to use our Secret Santa Generator to create magical gift exchanges
Step 1: Add Participants
Start by adding the names of everyone who will participate in your Secret Santa exchange. You can add as many participants as you need.
- Click the "Add Another Person" button to add more participants
- Enter each person's name in the input field
- Remove participants if needed by clicking the ✕ button
Step 2: Generate Links
Once you've added all participants, click the "Generate Santa Links" button. Our algorithm will randomly assign each person to someone else, ensuring no one gets their own name.
- The generator creates unique, secure links for each participant
- Each link contains encrypted information about who that person should give a gift to
Step 3: Share the Links
After generating the links, you'll see a list of personalized links for each participant. Share each link with the corresponding person.
- Use the WhatsApp button to instantly share via WhatsApp
- Or copy the link and share it through any messaging platform
- Each person receives only their own link - privacy is guaranteed
Step 4: Reveal the Match
When a participant opens their link, they'll discover who they're giving a gift to. The reveal page shows their Secret Santa match in a fun, festive way.
- Each link can only be opened once to maintain the surprise
