Surprise Santa – Gift Exchange

surprisesantas.com

About this app

Draw names for your Secret Santa in seconds and run the whole gift exchange from one app – for the family, the office or a group of friends.
A Secret Santa generator, a wish list for everyone and a group chat, in 30 languages.

How it works
• Create a game, set the date and the gift budget
• Invite people with a link, from your contacts or by email
• Draw names – everyone learns who they are Santa for, and only that
• Give gifts on the day, then rate the game together

What makes it easy
• Wish lists, so every Santa knows what to buy
• Exclusions, so couples and last year's pairs are never matched again
• Group chat for the whole game, plus an anonymous chat with the person you drew, in case you need a hint
• See who has joined and who still has an empty wish list, then send them a reminder
• A countdown widget on your home screen, and the exchange added to your calendar
• Siri shortcuts on iPhone: start a game, add someone, or ask who is not ready yet
• Reminders as the date comes closer, so nobody turns up empty-handed
• Emails with every detail, in the language each participant chooses

Made for a family Christmas, an office party, a classroom, a club, or friends spread across the world. Any group size, any budget, any date – and everyone can take part from their own phone, in their own language.

Private by design: your data is used only to run your exchange.
Available in 30 languages.

What’s new

The elves' biggest present this year: chats. Talk to everyone in the exchange, or whisper to your Santa and to the person you're gifting — nobody finds out who's who.
A fresh coat of North Pole paint: the game screen now groups what's for you, the game itself and support — what's next is a glance away.
Mark your gift as ready right on the game screen and watch the exchange's readiness fill up.
