Frequently Asked Questions

You need at least 3 people. In a small group with many exclusions, a valid draw may not exist, and the tool will say so rather than break an exclusion.
No. This instant draw needs no signup. The results link shows every pairing to whoever holds it, so send each person their own link instead: it shows only their assignment.
Want everyone to add a wishlist too? Christmas Wishlist Guide's full Secret Santa draws names for 3 to 100 people, and each person links a wishlist or answers the Mystery Q&A. It's free, and each person needs a free account to see their match.
