No sign-up, no email: the draw runs in your browser and each person gets their own link.
One name per line (at least 3 people).
Use it for couples or siblings: the two people won't draw each other (both ways).
Send each participant the link next to their name. When they open it, they see only who they are buying for. You, the organizer, don't see the pairs.
The results live only inside the links. Nothing is sent to a server; the names are saved in this browser only, so you can resend a link if needed.
Enter the names and, if you like, who can't draw whom, the budget and the date.
Click Draw names: everyone gets someone else, nobody draws themselves.
Send each person their private link by WhatsApp, or copy it and send it any way you like.
Type one name per line. If two people share a name, add a last initial (for example, Anna S. and Anna P.).
Under "Who can't draw whom", add couples, siblings or last year's pairs. The rule works both ways.
Optionally enter the gift budget and exchange date. Each participant sees them next to their result.
Click Draw names and send every person the link next to their name, with the WhatsApp button or by copying it.
With paper slips someone always draws their own name, or the organizer ends up knowing everything. Here each person gets a private link and, when they open it, sees only the name they drew. The organizer screen only shows the list of links to send.
The result is stored inside the link itself, after the # sign, which browsers never send to the server. There is no sign-up, email or database: the draw happens in your browser and nothing leaves your device.
Enter the participants, add any exclusions, click Draw names and send each person their private link. Everyone opens their own link to see who they are buying for.
Not unless they want to. The organizer only sees the links. A "Show all pairs" option exists for emergencies, but it asks for confirmation because it spoils the surprise.
Under "Who can't draw whom", pick the two people and click Add. The draw makes sure neither of them gets the other.
No. The generator is free, needs no sign-up and works on phones. Participants just open the link they receive.
Open this page again in the same browser: the links from the last draw are still saved. If you cleared your browser data, draw again and send the new links.
