About this app

Hohoho ... 🎅 Christmas is coming soon. 🎄

To help you get away from the hustle and bustle of Christmas, this app will help making things easy for you!
With this app you can easily make a Secret Santa lottery to randomly choose who gives a present to whom.
This app can be used both while sitting comfortably with friends and family, as well as online via e-mail or various messengers.

Secret Santa is a Christmas tradition also known as Wichteln, Kris Kringle, Chris Kindle (Christkindl), Amigo Secreto, Monito-Monita, Angelito, Julklapp, or Engerl-Bengerl.

Especially in times like this, you don't necessarily have to meet in person, to make your yearly Secret-Santa drawing. Keep the social distance and also stay connected with your friends and family.


Take a look at our app features:

✔ Local-Secret-Santa:
The lottery drawing takes place while everyone involved is present. Those who are not present get their results by e-mail.

✔ Online-Secret-Santa:
all Secret-Santa's get their results by mail.

✔ Intelligent random generator
The intelligent random number generator prevents you from drawing yourself and enables the determination of Anti-Secret-Santa's.

✔ Anti-Secret-Santa's:
You can make sure not to be matched with a certain person by assigning a Secret-Santa an Anti-Secret-Santa (handy for couples or also last year’s Secret-Santa)

✔ The app can be used completely without registration.

✔ In the app several different groups can be created.

✔ Optionally the results can be sent by mail or shared by various messengers or SMS.

✔ You can add your wishes to give your Secret-Santa a hint.

✔ Furthermore, to each group additional information (like the event date or the budget) can be added.

Have fun!

Ratings and reviews

I had previously written a different review because of not being able to use all of the features, but they did start working again when I got to Wi-Fi even though my phone had signal and internet while out and about. It works great except for me, being able to restrict multiple people would be even better because you don't want someone drawing their spouse or who they drew last year. So, just a thought for another perk to add to the premium version!

Nice app, but didn't work super great for us because we were trying to draw for our entire family. And you are not able to block more than one person (ie all members of one immediate family). Two families were able to switch though when they both got members of their own families. So we made it work. I agree with one other review that the option to send via text will be a nice option, but email worked well. Overall, a good app.

Amazing app, we have used it 3 years now. Some feedback. Ability to select more than one anti-santa would be great. Change the mail only button to say "email only" would be so much clearer. When receiving secret Santa's via email & clicking the link it says Tom is the secret Santa FROM Harry when I think it should say FOR to avoid confusion. Thanks so much for making a great app!
