Plain Secret Santa is a free online Secret Santa generator. Type everyone's names, add an optional budget and exchange date, and set exclusions so partners or roommates can't draw each other. The draw gives each person a private link to share by text or WhatsApp. There is no account or email, and the organizer can't see who drew whom.
Draw names for your gift exchange in under a minute. Type everyone's names, set a budget, add who can't draw who, and get a private link for each person. No account, no email. Share by text or WhatsApp, and the organizer can't peek.
Works for families, offices, classrooms and friend groups.

Yes. Drawing names, exclusions and private links are all free. No account needed.
No. There's no email at all. Each person gets a private link you send by text, WhatsApp, or any messaging app.
Yes. Add pairs like Alex-Sam (one per line) before you draw, and those two will never get each other.
Yes. The results screen only shows names and links, not matches. Each link is encrypted, so the organizer only sees a match if they open someone else's link. Just open your own.
Keep the results page open until everyone has their link, so you can copy or text it again. If you already closed it, draw again and send everyone new links. We don't store anything, so old links can't be looked up.
Anywhere from 3 people to large office groups.
Yes. Tap Draw names again for a fresh draw. Once you've sent links, a redraw means everyone needs their new link.
No. The draw happens in your browser, and names live only inside the encrypted links. Nothing is saved on our server.
