Secret Santa, Solved: A Zero-Duplicate, Zero-Awkwardness Guide
Make your office or friend-group exchange effortless with private wishlists and simple coordination.
Set Up the Exchange
- Create a list called “Secret Santa 2025.”
- Set budget, rules, and deadline in the description.
- Use an external draw tool for assignments and share Wishr links privately.
Build Private Wishlists
- Each participant creates a small wishlist (5–7 items) with sizes and colors.
- Use private links so only the assigned gifter can view.
