A practical way to handle a Secret Santa draw
Dedicated Secret Santa apps handle the 'nobody sees who they're assigned' problem automatically, which matters for larger or remote groups. For a smaller, in-person group, a simpler approach often works just as well: one person manages the wheel privately, spins once per participant, and privately messages each person their assigned recipient.
Removing already-assigned names from the list as you go (elimination mode) prevents duplicate assignments and ensures every participant is both a giver and a receiver exactly once.
