How does it work?
Enter the names
Enter the names of people organise your Secret Santa with. You can still add names or delete them after you confirm the group.
Add exclusions and group details
If there are enough group members, you can make exclusions: who shouldn’t draw whom. You can also add details like a group name and the date of the celebration.
Send the invitations
You need to send the invitations as soon as the group has been created. You can do this via email, WhatsApp or other social media.
Make your wish list
Don’t keep your Secret Santa guessing! Make a wish list of the gifts you’d like. Did you know that you can also set up a group just to share wish lists?
Draw the names
Now it’s also possible to watch the draw live, so that everyone sees whose name they’ve drawn at the same time.
Draw names for all occasions

Secret Santa
1 December 2025
Secret Santa takes place in December. For this popular festive tradition, family, friends and co-workers draw names and exchange gifts with each other.
This is a great website, well set out and had lots of options! The Secret Santa all went smoothly and was great!
This is my 3rd or 4th time using drawnames and it continues to be a success. I love how I can be the organizer of a gift exchange and also participate using this service!
This is SUCH A GOOD SITE, I recommended it to two other groups to use for this year. Thank you for sending the initial reminder, remembering who-got-who last year and being able to add exclusions. Great service.
