How an online Secret Santa draw works

Pulling names from a hat is fun until someone draws their own name, or the organizer accidentally sees everyone’s match. An online Secret Santa generator fixes both: the draw is random, nobody gets themselves, and each person only ever sees their own match.

Manito Manita adds the parts that make a gift exchange easier: everyone keeps a wishlist with links, gets gift ideas within the budget, and receives an email when names are drawn and a reminder before the exchange.

Questions

Is this Secret Santa generator really free?

Yes. Groups, the name draw, wishlists, gift ideas and emails are free, with no limit on members and no sign-up.

Does everyone need an account?

No. Members open the group link and join with a name, a screen name, their email and a password for that group. Nothing to download.

Can I stop couples drawing each other?

Yes. PRO groups can add exclusions so couples or family members never get each other.

Can we use it for a remote or virtual Secret Santa?

Yes. Everyone joins online and gets their match by email, so it works the same for remote teams and family abroad. Add your address in your profile so your Secret Santa can ship the gift.

Is it the same as Kris Kringle or Monito Monita?

Yes. Kris Kringle (Philippines, Australia, Ireland) and Monito Monita (Philippines) are other names for Secret Santa.
