Hatpull

馃巹 No email 路 No sign-up 路 2026

Secret Santa with no email addresses.

Collecting everyone's email is the worst part of organizing. Skip it. Share one link in the family chat, and each person taps their own name to draw.

Most Secret Santa sites make the organizer type in an email address for every single person, then hope nobody's invitation lands in spam. Hatpull works the way groups actually talk: one link, shared wherever your group already chats.

Send it on WhatsApp, by text, in Slack or by email if you want to. Each person opens the link, picks their name from the list, and sees who they're buying for. Their draw is saved on their phone, so they can come back to it any time.

Why it works

馃敆 One link for everyone

The same invitation works for the whole group. No per-person emails to type or chase.

馃摫 Works in any chat app

Built-in buttons for WhatsApp, text message and email, or copy the link anywhere.

馃檲 Still completely secret

Each person only ever sees their own match. The organizer can't peek while the exchange is running.

馃巵 Wish lists included

People add gift ideas with links. Whoever drew them can reserve a gift secretly.

Questions

How do people get their name without an email?

You share one invitation link. Each person opens it, taps their own name, and draws. Hatpull remembers them on that device with a private link, so they can come back to check their match or wish list.

What if someone forgets who they drew?

Their match stays saved on the phone they drew on. Hatpull also gives each person a personal link to keep, which opens their draw on any device.

What stops someone from tapping another person's name?

Once a name has been claimed it's locked to that person. Nobody else can open it from the invitation link.

Can someone draw their own name?

No. The generator never lets anyone draw themselves, so the draw always works the first time.

Is it free?

Yes. Drawing names, invitations and wish lists are free, with no sign-up.
