01
Set the shape
Name the exchange, pick a ship-by date and budget, and choose one organizer or two. Start from the classic survey or a blank page.
One link. One draw. No spreadsheet.
Secret Santa,
sorted.
Build a survey, invite your people with a private link, and match everyone without the group-chat chaos. Shipping regions, a blind two-organizer draw, and a place for every tracking number — built in.
- No participant accounts
- Shipping-aware matching
- Draft before you send
How it works
Four steps, then you can stop thinking about it.
Set the shape, collect the answers, make the draw, and let the emails do the awkward part.
02
Send one link
Everyone gets a private link. They answer the survey — address, region, shipping comfort, interests — without creating an account or seeing anyone else's answers.
03
Split & draw
Sort people into shipping pools with suggested splits, nudge anyone by hand, then generate matches that respect who can post where. No one gets themselves.
04
Send, ship, track
Every participant gets a drafted email with their Santee's details. They add a tracking number; you approve it; your Santee can follow the parcel.
The useful parts
Built for the messy bits of a real exchange.
Not a landing page with a form attached. A small, deliberate set of tools for the things that usually end up in six different places.
A blind draw for two organizers
Split the group in half. Each organizer manages one pool and participates in the other, so neither of them can see who drew them. The full survey stays sealed until both mark collection complete.
Postcodes before presents
Five shipping regions — US & Canada, UK & Ireland, Europe, Australia & NZ, rest of world — and a draw that only makes matches someone can actually afford to post.
Your survey, not a template
Keep the classic questions or build your own: short answers, paragraphs, choices, links, yes/no. Required and private questions are one toggle apart.
Draft first. Send second.
Assignment emails are drafted for you, including the Santee's address and answers. Edit, copy to Discord, or connect a mail provider and press send when you trust it.
Every parcel accounted for
Participants submit a carrier and tracking number. You approve it before it reaches their Santee. The dashboard shows who has answered, who has shipped, and who is still quiet.

Questions
The things people ask before signing up.
Still curious? The four-step version is shorter than this page.
Do participants need an account?
No. Each person gets a private link that opens their survey. Organizers sign in; everyone else just answers and comes back to the same link to see their match and add tracking.
How does the two-organizer blind mode work?
The group is split into two pools. Organizer A manages pool 1 and participates in pool 2; organizer B manages pool 2 and participates in pool 1. Each organizer only sees the matches they manage, so neither can see their own Santa. The full survey responses stay sealed until both organizers mark collection complete.
What if people live in different countries?
Everyone picks a home region and the regions they are willing to post to. The draw only matches a giver to a Santee they can ship to, and it prefers same-region pairs. If a split cannot work, it tells you which region needs attention instead of quietly making a bad match.
Can I edit the survey?
Yes. Start with the classic exchange questions or a blank survey, then add, remove, reorder, and mark questions required or private. System fields — name, address, region, shipping comfort — are always there because the draw needs them.
Does it send emails automatically?
No. It writes the draft, and you press send. That is deliberate. You can edit the text, copy a Discord-friendly version, or connect a mail provider. Nothing leaves the building until you say so.
What happens to everyone's address?
Addresses are only shown to the organizer managing that person's pool (and to their assigned Santa once matches go out). Participant links are long random tokens, not guessable IDs. Answers are sealed from organizers in two-organizer mode until collection closes.
Is this only for Christmas?
No. Birthdays, book exchanges, a flatmate gift swap, a team thing in February. The dates, budget, questions, and region settings are yours.
What does it cost?
Nothing. It is a small tool made by one person. No ads, no upsell, no tip jar on this one.
Ready when your group is
Make this year's draw the easy part.
Start with a name and a date. You can invite people, tweak the survey, and decide how the draw works before anyone answers.
