How Secret Santa works with WishGiven

1

Everyone creates a wishlist

Each participant signs up for free and adds gift ideas to their WishGiven wishlist. Add items from any online store.

2

Share wishlists with the group

Share your wishlist link in your group chat, email thread, or however your group coordinates. Everyone can see what others want.

3

Draw names & shop

Once names are drawn, your Secret Santa browses your wishlist and claims a gift. They don't need an account to do this.

4

Exchange gifts

Because claims are anonymous, the surprise stays intact. No one knows who bought what until the big reveal.

Why WishGiven is perfect for Secret Santa

Anonymity is built in

Most Secret Santa apps just assign names — you still have to guess what to buy. WishGiven flips the script: everyone shares what they actually want, and the anonymous claiming feature naturally keeps the gift-giver a mystery. It's the best of both worlds.

Gift-givers don't need accounts

The biggest friction with Secret Santa apps is getting everyone to sign up. With WishGiven, only wishlist creators need an account. Gift-givers just click the link, browse the list, and claim — no download, no signup, no friction.

Any store, any budget

Set a spending limit with your group, then let everyone add items within that range from any online store. No more being limited to one retailer's selection. Find the perfect gift wherever it lives.

Features built for gift exchanges

Anonymous gift claiming

Gift-givers claim items without revealing their identity. The wishlist owner never sees who bought what.

Add gifts from any store

Paste a product URL from any retailer and WishGiven pulls in the details automatically.

No account needed to claim

Your Secret Santa just needs the link — no app download, no sign-up required.

Easy link sharing

Share your wishlist via text, email, group chat, or QR code. One link is all it takes.

Completely free

No premium tiers, no limits on items, no credit card. Free for everyone in your group.
