No account for your loved ones
A first name and an email address are enough to take part. Everyone gets a personal link that identifies them, with no password to remember.
Secret Santa
Your online Secret Santa, drawn at random in a few clicks
Free · No ads · Your loved ones join without an account
A Secret Santa on Envy draws who gives to whom, then shows everyone the wish list of the person they drew.
You create the draw, share a link, and your loved ones join with a first name and an email address, without signing up. On draw day, everyone discovers their person in secret, looks at their list and books a gift. Nobody, not even you, sees who gives to whom.

What is Secret Santa?
Secret Santa is a gift exchange where each participant draws, at random, the person they will give to, without anyone knowing who gives to whom. Everyone buys a single gift, within a budget agreed together, which lightens Christmas with family or at the office.
- people have created their list
- more than 490
- wishes added to lists
- more than 7,000
- gifts booked by loved ones
- more than 1,080
As of November 8, 2026, more than 490 people have created their list on Envy, which holds more than 7,000 wishes and more than 1,080 gifts booked by loved ones (counted in the app, excluding inspiration lists published by Envy and team accounts).
How it works
How to organize your Secret Santa
- 01
Create the draw
A name, an exchange date, a budget. Add your loved ones or simply share the link so they join on their own. You create your free account at the end, to launch the draw; your loved ones don't need one.
- 02
Set exclusions
Couples don't draw each other: say it once, Envy applies it both ways.
- 03
Launch the draw
Everyone gets a message and discovers their person in the app, never in the email. You take part like everyone else and don't see the result.
- 04
Everyone knows what to give
Your person has a wish list? It shows with the agreed budget, and you book your gift without them knowing. No list? Ask them for one in a click, anonymously.
Features
A Secret Santa that knows what to give
Anyone can draw names. What's missing next is the gift idea: Envy links each person drawn to their wish list.
The secret, truly kept
The organizer takes part like everyone else and never sees who gives to whom. Your person's name appears in no email: it's revealed in the app, away from prying eyes.
Your person's wish list
You see their list with the group's budget and book your gift. Bookings stay invisible to them: the surprise is whole.
An anonymous nudge in one click
Your person doesn't have a list yet? Let them know someone is waiting for theirs, without ever revealing who's asking. You're notified as soon as they publish it.
FAQ
Secret Santa: your questions
Yes, completely: unlimited draws and participants, no ads and no subscription.
Yes, the organizer creates a free account, asked for once the draw is set up (participants, exclusions, budget, date), to launch and follow it. Your loved ones take part without an account.
No. They join the draw with a first name and an email address, then get a personal link that is all they need to discover their person. An account is only useful if they want to create their own wish list.
Three at least. With two, each one necessarily draws the other and there is no surprise left.
Yes, with exclusions: list the pairs to avoid once, and the draw respects them both ways. If your exclusions make the draw impossible, Envy tells you clearly.
No. Everyone takes part, gets drawn and receives a gift, with or without a list. A list is recommended: whoever drew you will know what to give. Without one, they can ask you for it anonymously in a click.
No, never. They take part like everyone else and only discover their own person. Their dashboard shows who joined and who has a list, nothing more.
Schedule an automatic draw date: Envy runs it for you that day and lets everyone know.
You set a budget, with a minimum and maximum if you like. It's shown to every participant and flags wishes above it, without ever blocking them.
Yes. Seven days and then two days before the date, every participant is reminded, with the place and the agreed budget.
Yes, just like with family or friends: share the link in the team chat, everyone joins without an account, and nobody, not even the organizer, sees the result of the draw.
