Draw names. Keep the secret.

A fair draw for your gift exchange that even the organizer can’t peek at.

Start your gift exchange Free for one group, with events of up to 8.

Try a draw with an example family

Try it with an example family · edit the names, link partners, then deal. Nothing here is saved.

Partners never draw each other:

The rules your family already has, built in.

Nobody has to remember who can’t get whom. Every draw follows them.

  • Partners never draw each other.

    Name your partner once and they confirm it.

  • Nobody gets last year’s match.

    So Aunt June finally buys for someone new.

  • Even the organizer can’t peek.

    One deliberate “Are you sure?” screen, and that’s it.

  • Groups change, and that’s fine.

    Invite the kids straight into this year’s exchange.

Then it carries the whole exchange.

Everything below is an example, written the way it looks inside Hat Trick.

Example

An email with no names in it.

Safe to open at the dinner table.

Hat Trick

Names are drawn for Christmas 2026

Example

A wish list only they can see.

Everyone else just sees that you’ve started one.

  • Wool socks, size medium. Anything but beige.
  • A 1,000-piece puzzle, ideally with a lighthouse in it
  • Surprise me (but see above)

Christmas, yes. Also the birthday swap, the office white elephant, and the cousins’ summer thing.

Every event ends on its own the day after. Lists and messages stay readable, the draw is remembered for next time, and everything goes quiet until then.
