SantaSend vs SecretSantaGenerator.com

Make your Secret Santa gift exchanges simple, fair, and fun! SantaSend takes the hassle out of organizing gift exchanges with intelligent assignment matching and easy, private sharing. SMART ASSIGNMENTS SantaSend remembers past years and steers everyone toward someone new, so your Secret Santa never feels repetitive. The more years you use it, the better it gets. Already ran your exchange another way? Add those past years and they count too. PLAY ALONE OR TOGETHER Couples and housemates can play as one. A group draws a single person between them, and whoever draws the group gives to everyone in it. Change who plays together from year to year without losing any history. SIT A YEAR OUT Not everyone can make it every year. Sit someone out with a drag, and they stay on your list with their history, ready to rejoin next time. CUSTOMIZABLE EXCLUSIONS Keep it comfortable for everyone. Choose who each person shouldn't be matched with, like a spouse or a sibling. SantaSend respects your rules while still finding a draw that works. EFFORTLESS, PRIVATE SHARING Send each person their assignment with a tap, by text, email, or any messaging app. Each message contains a personal link that reveals who they're giving to, with nothing to sign up for or install. Customize the message, and track who you've already sent to so nobody is missed. You don't have to see the assignments yourself: they stay hidden unless you choose to reveal them. YEAR-OVER-YEAR HISTORY Look back at any past year to see who gave to whom, and see how long each person has been playing. YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICE No account and no sign-up. Everything stays on your device. Export a backup file whenever you like, and import it on a new phone or tablet. SIMPLE AND FESTIVE A clean, hand-drawn look in light and dark mode, on iPhone and iPad.

Secret Santa Generator makes gift exchanges easy — for families, friends, and coworkers alike. SECRET SANTA DRAW No account needed. Add participants and their emails, click draw, and everyone instantly gets an email with their private pick. Set a budget, add exclusions (so couples don't draw each other), and assign multiple gifts per person if you like. GROUPS THAT REMEMBER YOU Create an account to set up persistent groups — invite family or friends once, and run a new draw every year without re-entering everyone's information. SHARED WISH LISTS Every group member can build a wish list so everyone knows what to buy, without revealing who's buying for whom. Add items from any website in a couple of taps. STAY IN TOUCH Message your group, or send a private note straight to the person you're buying for — including anonymously, if you want to keep the surprise. Secret Santa Generator has been helping people run gift exchanges since 2005 (originally as Boogspace.com) and is completely free to use.
