Secret Santa Generator

Yes. The generator always produces a derangement, which means every participant is assigned someone other than themselves. It also guarantees that each person gives exactly one gift and receives exactly one gift, so no one is left out or doubled up.

Yes. Add exclusion pairs, for example a couple who already buy for one another, and the generator will avoid those matches. If the exclusions make a fair draw impossible, the tool tells you instead of producing an invalid result.

Each assignment starts hidden behind a reveal button. Hand the device to one person at a time, let them reveal only their own match, then hide it again before passing it on, so nobody sees who the others drew.

Yes. Names are shuffled using your device's secure randomness and the whole draw runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded or stored. Reload the page or press Regenerate to run a completely new random draw.

Any group of two or more works. Two people simply swap, and larger groups are shuffled into a single loop or chain of givers and receivers. Very restrictive exclusion lists can make a draw impossible, and the tool will say so if that happens.
