How the Kris Kringle generator works
Add everyone’s names. You need at least three people.
Set the budget and swap day. The budget starts in A$; switch currency if you need to.
Keep couples apart (optional). Add pairs who shouldn’t draw each other.
Draw names. Everyone gets one person at random. Nobody draws themselves.
Send the private links on WhatsApp, or copy them into any chat.
Reveal. Everyone taps their own link to see who they’re buying for.
What is Kris Kringle?
Kris Kringle is what many Australians call Secret Santa. Everyone draws one name and buys one gift within a set budget, and nobody knows who their Kris Kringle is until the swap.
Kris Kringle rules to agree on
One budget that everyone is happy with.
One swap day, usually at the end-of-year party.
Keep it secret until the swap.
Short wish lists. Try our Secret Santa questionnaire.
Think summer. Christmas falls in summer in Australia, so beach, picnic and outdoor gifts go down well.
Make the swap a party on 8club
Create a Hotspot on 8club for the gift swap, share one link and see who’s coming. 8club opens a group chat for everyone going, and people can message each other directly.
