My siblings and I are doing secret santa every christmas. I would like to self host a webapp, that will randomly appoint a secret santa for each of us. And each of us should be able to save some wishes to that app, which then only the secret santa of that person will see.

Is there something, that would fit this description? Thanks for your help

I was looking for a gift list app and recently found this. It also has a secret Santa feature.

    Found this:

    Looks like it needs some more work though.

    You could use a math trade software. Instead of putting in items just have everyone select each other's names. Or you could just do a math trade where everyone enters an item and then everything gets randomly traded somewhat like a white elephant but anonymized.

    Wow, thats one kind of a project. I'm impressed. Though it doesn't really fit my problem. It has to be something webbased, where everyone of us can use it without an app, without seeing each others information. From the github page it looks like a local tool. And also focused trading similar items. The presents in our secret santa are highly individualized, so randomly trading does not make much sense. And if the interface is too clunky, my non-tech siblings will just reject using it. I want to keep them from deciding for some free privacy nightmare app.

    But I thank you for the suggestion. Its an interesting project
