Frequently asked questions
What's a good Secret Santa budget?
$20-30 is the most commonly recommended range for office or friend-group exchanges. Adjust the slider for your group — bigger budgets for close friends or family, smaller for large office groups.
Is the matching kept private?
Everything runs in your browser — nothing is sent to a server. Cards stay hidden until clicked, so each person can reveal only their own result.
