Office Secret Santa Generator
Run your team's Secret Santa in minutes — free, no accounts, no app. Draw names, set a budget, block awkward matches, and share one link. Coworkers just click and join.
Free for classic exchanges — no account, ever. Just share a link.
Built for teams, not paperwork
The hardest part of an office gift exchange is getting everyone signed up. So we removed that part entirely.
No accounts, no IT friction
Coworkers click a link and enter their email — no password, no sign-up form, no app to install. Perfect for a busy team.
Exclusion rules
Keep managers and reports, same-team members, or partners from being matched. The algorithm sorts out the rest.
Set a budget
Everyone sees the spend limit up front, so no one over- or under-does it.
Stay anonymous
Premium anonymous group chat and DMs let people drop hints and coordinate without revealing who they've got.
Remote-friendly
Works identically for in-office, hybrid, and fully remote teams — just share the link in Slack or email.

Office Secret Santa FAQ
Is Goblin Exchange free for an office Secret Santa?
Yes. Running a classic office Secret Santa is completely free — draw names, wishlists, budgets, and exclusion rules included. Premium ($4.99 one-time, and only one person pays for the whole group) adds Reverse Santa and Blind modes plus anonymous group chat.
Do my coworkers need to create an account?
No. There are no accounts and no app. You share one link; each coworker enters their email to get a magic link — no password, no sign-up form, nothing to install. It's the lowest-friction way to get a whole team in.
Can I stop certain people from being matched?
Yes. Exclusion rules let you prevent specific pairings — managers and their reports, people on the same sub-team, or partners who work together. The draw algorithm handles the rest automatically.
Does it work for remote and hybrid teams?
Yes. Everything is link-based and online, so in-office, hybrid, and fully remote coworkers participate the same way. Wishlists keep gift ideas clear, and Premium anonymous chat lets people drop hints without blowing their cover.
How many people can join our exchange?
Any size team — there are no per-participant fees. One organizer sets it up and everyone else just clicks the link.
