A few Over 10 years ago I wrote a Python program to help my wife with her side of the family's Secret Santa gift exchange. It was a cute little project that has become one of my most starred github repositories. I'm not going to lie, I've always been proud of my funny-words project but I guess I'll take 'em where I can get 'em. After a quick review of the state of the internet, I've discovered a shocking number of secret santa gift exchanges that require users to sign up or provide their email address to use. I think this is silly. Fortunately, I have the rare ability to write simple JavaScript applications and the resources to publish them to the internet! Yay! Therefore, I present to you free, in-browser, javascript, with no email or signup required Seth's Super Awesome Secret Santa Gift Exchange People Picker.

Remember the rules! One person creates the list and sends only the recipient's name to each giver. The giver is responsible for keeping their recipient a secret. This is a fun game and it's not fun if you ruin the surprise.
