Secret Santa works
for birthdays, too.

Instead of everyone buying for everyone, each person gives a gift to exactly one person – secretly and with a fixed budget. Perfect for big friend groups, clubs and teams.

Start a birthday Secret Santa

What is a birthday Secret Santa?

Each person draws a name and is responsible for that person's birthday gift. Everyone gets a personal present, and nobody has to shop for twenty birthdays a year.

With Wichtelrunde you draw once, and everyone sees whom they're buying for – including their wish list – via their secret link.

How to organise a birthday Secret Santa

  1. Create a group with the occasion “Birthday” and set a budget.
  2. Enter your next get-together as the gift exchange date.
  3. Share the link, everyone joins and adds wishes.
  4. Draw names – and hand over the gift on the birthday.

Tips

  • Enable wish lists so the gifts really fit.
  • A shared budget avoids imbalances.
  • For kids' parties: a gift exchange among guests instead of a mountain of presents.
