family secret santa generator
A family has couples who should not draw each other, children who do not use a phone yet and a grandparent who reads only paper. All three cases fit in one draw, with no sign-up and no one handing over an email.
Down from 265 with no rule.
Down from 133,496 with no rule.
Not enough people outside.
That is 4! x 4! draws.
Each person sees only their own match.
Paste the names, tap Draw and send each person their link by WhatsApp or text. There is no account, email or password: each match travels inside the link itself, after the #, and whoever opens it sees only their own. It works as a free name picker for Secret Santa, Kris Kringle or Pollyanna. The draw and the links are stored only on this device so you can come back and resend.
Add an exclusion group in the draw rules and tap both names. They are barred from drawing each other in both directions, and a group can hold more than two people.
A parent opens the link on their own phone and buys the gift on the child behalf. For the child to receive one, add a short wish list under the child name.
Use in-person mode at the gathering or print a folded slip with the match. The slip carries a QR code and the name in readable letters, so the relative reads it without touching a screen.
Remove the person from the list: the draw is repaired and only one already-drawn person gets a new link. Whoever drew them can mail the gift or keep it for the next visit.
Nothing leaves your browser. Names and the draw are stored only on this device, and each link carries the pair inside the address, with no server.
