Secret Santa in Gift Buddy

Draw names in secret, share wishes and keep the budget fair. No spreadsheets, no hat, no peeking.

How it works

Step 1

Create an event

Set a name, a budget and the exchange date. It takes a minute.

Step 2

Invite your group

Share an invite link or add people in the app. Everyone adds a wish when they join.

Step 3

The server draws names

The draw happens on the server, so the organizer never sees who gifts whom.

Step 4

See your giftee

Each person sees only who they gift and that person's wish.

What stays secret

  • Who gifts you stays hidden, even after the exchange.
  • The organizer sees the members, not the pairs.
  • You can ask your giftee questions anonymously.

Wish and budget

  • Add one wish with a link, photo and price, or let Santa surprise you.
  • The budget is shown in your own currency.
  • Reminders arrive before the exchange and on the day.
