Free Secret Santa Generator
Draw Secret Santa names online in a minute. Add your group, set a budget, keep couples apart, then send everyone a private link on WhatsApp. Free, no sign-up.
How the Secret Santa generator works
Add everyone’s names. You need at least three people. Add yourself if you’re playing.
Set the budget and swap day. Pick your currency: ₹, $, £, €, A$ or S$.
Keep couples apart (optional). Add pairs who shouldn’t draw each other, like partners or housemates.
Draw names. The generator matches everyone at random. Nobody gets themselves.
Send the private links. Each person gets their own link on WhatsApp, or copy it into any chat.
Reveal. Everyone taps their link to see who they’re buying for.
Why use this Secret Santa generator
Free, no sign-up. Nobody needs an account or an email address.
Private by design. Each link shows one match only. Nothing is saved on our side.
Works for any group. Friends, family, flatmates or the office, in India, the US, the UK, Australia, Singapore or Europe.
Ready for the party. Turn the gift swap into a Hotspot on 8club in one tap.
Secret Santa, Kris Kringle or Kris Kindle
It’s the same game with different names. Australians often call it Kris Kringle, the Irish say Kris Kindle, and in Germany it’s Wichteln. Whatever you call it, you draw a name, buy one gift within the budget, and reveal at the swap.
Use the local version: Kris Kringle generator (Australia), Kris Kindle generator (Ireland), Wichtel-Generator (Germany) or lootjes trekken (Netherlands).
Make the reveal a party on 8club
The swap is the best part, so give it a proper night. Create a Hotspot on 8club, share one link and see who’s coming. 8club opens a group chat for everyone going, so wish lists and reminders live in one place, and people can message each other directly.

Quick answers
Is this Secret Santa generator free?
Yes. It’s free and there’s no sign-up.
Can the organiser play too?
Yes. Add your own name and only open your own link. You won’t see anyone else’s match unless you open their link.
How do I keep couples from drawing each other?
Tap “Keep couples or housemates apart” and add one pair per line, like “Asha & Rohan”.
What if someone drops out after the draw?
Remove their name and draw again, then send everyone their new link. Old links will still show the old match, so ask people to use the new one.
Do you store our names?
No. Each match lives only inside its private link.
