Run a Secret Friends gift exchange
Create a group, draw names, and everyone secretly gifts one person. The fair, fuss-free way to do a group gift exchange.
Secret Friends is the group gift exchange where everyone is matched to one person to gift, in secret. No buying for the whole group, no one drawing their own name, and because everyone shares a wishlist, no awkward guessing about what to get.
How it works
- 1
Create a group
Name your exchange and invite everyone with a single link.
- 2
Everyone adds a wishlist
Each member lists a few gifts they'd love, so their secret friend knows exactly what to get.
- 3
Draw names
One tap matches everyone randomly and fairly, so no one ever gets themselves.
- 4
Gift in secret
You're told who to gift; the person gifting you stays a secret. That's the fun of it.
Great for

Frequently asked questions
- How many people do I need?
- At least two to draw names, and it works just as well for a small family or a big office. Free groups cover most gatherings; you can lift the limit for larger ones.
- Will I find out who gifted me?
- No, and that's the point. You're told who you're gifting, but the person gifting you stays anonymous, so the surprise holds.
- Is it free?
- Yes. Creating an exchange, inviting members, drawing names, and sharing wishlists is free. You only pay if you want to lift the group-size limit for a big event.
- Do members need an account?
- Yes. A quick sign-in lets us match everyone and keep each person's assignment private to them.
