I've finally convinced my family to calm down on the consumerism and switch to a secret santa exchange.

If you've ever tried to do one yourself you probably ran into problems of SOs not wanting to draw each others names, as well as trying to figure out what people actually want.

I'm sure many people here could probably code up their own solution, but I just wanted to find something prebuilt. Most of the ones I found require you to have everybody make an account, or they find new and creative ways to make the process horrible.

I finally found https://secretsantahat.com/. It worked, wasn't hard, and I'm glad to be done with it. It seems they make their money through affiliate links and premium features, but nothing that bothered me.

I just wanted to share because the process was frustrating, and I only found that decent site because of an old reddit thread. Im not affiliated with them in any way.

If anybody knows anything better, or FOSS please share. I'm sure this site will enshittify, and I'll need to figure something else out in a couple years.
