About This Tool

The tool accepts participant data and group settings to generate a fair gift exchange. It targets UK offices, clubs, families, and event organizers seeking reproducible, privacy-preserving pairings.
The core logic derives a random permutation and enforces constraints such as no self-assign, no repeats when history is provided, and budget compliance. Optional features support multi-group runs and export formats.
Benefits include reduced admin time, auditable results, and straightforward distribution of assignments. It supports printable summaries and machine-readable exports for integration.
Core features include participant validation, constraint configuration, derangement-based assignment, and data export in CSV or JSON.

Who should use this tool?

This tool is suitable for UK-based offices, clubs, families, and community groups planning a Secret Santa. It scales from small groups to larger events and provides auditable results for organizers.

Can I reuse past pairings?

If year history data is provided, the tool will attempt to avoid repeating pairings from previous years. It prioritizes constraints but cannot guarantee avoidance if the constraint set is too tight.

What inputs are required?

Required inputs include participant names and optional emails, a budget (GBP), and at least one constraint set. Optional history data and blocklists improve matching quality.

What formats can outputs be exported?

Outputs can be exported as CSV or JSON. The export includes the mapping from giver to recipient and a summary suitable for distribution and record-keeping.
