Frequently asked questions
Do I need everyone's email?
No. That's the whole point — most generators make you enter everyone's email so they can send assignments from a server. This one draws locally and gives you a private link per person to share however you like.
Can I stop couples from drawing each other?
Yes. Add exclusion pairs, one per line, and the draw guarantees those two people won't be assigned to each other — useful for couples, roommates, or family members.
How do the private links keep it secret?
Each link encodes only one person's assignment in the URL itself. When they open it, they see just their own match, and because nothing is stored on a server, no one — including us — can see the full list.
About this tool
The Secret Santa generator draws gift assignments so no one gets themselves, with exclusion rules for couples or family who shouldn't draw each other. Unlike other generators, it asks for no emails and no account: reveal each match on screen when everyone's together, or copy a private link for each person that shows only their own assignment. The match is encoded in the link itself, so nothing is stored on any server. Everything runs in your browser.
Like most tools on UtilityBase, the secret santa generator runs entirely in your browser — nothing you enter is uploaded or stored on a server. It's free to use with no account required. Browse more generators here.
