About Santa Pairs

Santa Pairs draws Secret Santa names in your browser. There are no accounts, no emails and no uploads: you add names, set any rules, and reveal the pairings by passing the phone round or printing slips.

How it works

Everything runs in your browser. What you type is not uploaded, stored or sent to us.

Who makes it

Santa Pairs is made by a small independent team that builds simple, accurate and free tools. The draw runs in your browser, so we never see your names, and we say plainly what the tool can and cannot keep secret. It is free to use and is supported by advertising.

How we keep it accurate

Every figure, rule and table is checked against named sources and re-reviewed on a schedule. See how we check this.
