Handy Tips: How to Play Secret Santa Online

In Handy Tips, we find ways to improve your life and make it easier and explain why these tips work. Today, we will tell you about a handy website that will help you automate the process of choosing gifts for the Secret Santa game.


The Secret Santa game is extremely simple: you write down each other’s names (whether it is a large group of friends, relatives, or colleagues) on a piece of paper and then draw names to randomly assign a Secret Santa to each player. Today we will tell you about a simple tool that can automate this process – a gift roulette.

Elfster.com, one of the most popular online services for secret Santas, is also convenient because it allows each of the participants to create a wishlist and thereby save their Secret Santa from unnecessary headaches caused by thinking of what to buy. The site also has a mobile app available both on Google Play and AppStore, although they still lack the online version’s functionality. Now it's even easier to give gifts!
