How to organize a Secret Santa office party

So, this is how it usually works: a few weeks before Christmas, office teams get together to draw names for the Secret Santa office party. This can be done in the old-fashioned way, by drawing names from a hat, or you can organize your Secret Santa online by using Draw Names. If you already have a list of names and/or email addresses, you can easily import them. The biggest advantage of using a Secret Santa generator is that there’s no chance of people getting their own name and you can’t lose the name you drew either.
