Santa's Secret Keeper

About this app

Santa's Secret Keeper matches secret santas for you so everyone can participate (spoiler free!). Great design and a fun festive feel!

Create your secret santa gift exchange for family, friends, or co-workers. It's fast and easy to add all participants, add details (price range, instructions, etc) and ask the app to do the rest!

Each participant will get an email with the secret santa details and the name of who they are getting a gift for.

Ratings and reviews

This app works and has some great features however, like blocking people from being Secret Santa for some members of the group. However, there are some significant limitations. For example, I made a mistake in some of the blockings and I can't seem to rerun the selection process. There is no capacity for gift hints or suggestions either.

We do secret Santa every year and so far this is the best app we've used. I love the fact that you can block names from being allocated to certain people. So I could block spouses/partners from receiving each other's names. You can import email addresses instead of typing them in manually. You can create more than one group. Just be sure to check your spam if the email doesn't arrive in your inbox. I hope this app is still available next year!

Recalling impressed as I have used similar apps in the past. You can add everyone's email, block certain people from being matched eg partners for secret santa. Emails delivered to all and there is even a master sheet and the option to resend details if you need. The person setting up does not see any of the secret matches unless you look at the master sheet you can get. Very happy.
