How to use the Secret Santa Name Picker

The Secret Santa Name Picker helps families, friends, and offices assign gift-exchange partners at random. Sample names load so the wheel is ready; replace them with everyone in the exchange.

For classic Secret Santa, spin one name at a time with remove-winner so each person is drawn once as a recipient. If someone draws themselves, spin again for that person or reshuffle the remaining list.

The template above is already loaded. Edit the names, then open the main Random Name Picker hub for every template and the full guide.

Gift-exchange drawing tips

Add every participant before the first spin. Use remove-winner so recipients are unique. If couples or teams should not draw each other, remove restricted pairs manually after a conflict, then continue. Keep the spin visible so the group trusts the draw.
