Why use a Secret Santa wheel

Put in the names of everyone in your gift swap. Each person spins in turn, keeps the name they land on to themselves, and hides it, so every name is drawn once. Spin again if you land on your own name.

Draw names for the office gift swap
Teams can spin names in a meeting or on a video call, so nobody has to cut up paper slips.
Run a class Secret Santa
Teachers can let each child spin and whisper them the name, then hide it before the next turn.
Pick who buys for whom at Christmas
Families who live apart can spin names on a call, so everyone buys one good gift instead of many.

This wheel wears the Jingle Wheels theme: christmas only: candy canes, fairy lights and snow. Your own copy keeps it, or pick another wheel theme.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I draw my own name?

Spin again. If the last person’s only name left is their own, start the draw over with every name back on the wheel.

Is the wheel really random?

Yes. Every entry has a slice of the same size, and where the wheel stops is picked with your browser’s cryptographically secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), so nobody can predict or rig the result.

Can I change the entries on this wheel?

Yes. Click “Create your own Secret Santa picker” to save your own copy. You can then add, remove or rename entries, change the theme and spin settings, and share or embed your wheel.
