Secret Santa Cards

A Secret Santa gift tag has one job: get the present to the right person without giving away who bought it. Each tag here says To: with the recipient's name and From: Your Secret Santa, so you can put it on the gift, drop it on the pile and stay anonymous. If your group reveals givers on the day, clear the From line and each person signs their own tag.

The tags are 3.58 × 2.33 in on US Letter and 88.1 × 63.7 mm on A4, with a punch-hole mark on the angled end for ribbon or string. You can also skip the hole and tape the tag flat on the wrapping paper. Typing a whole office list at once gives you a sheet per 8 people, in the order you typed them, so it's easy to match tags to gifts when you wrap.

Reveal cards are for the moment the secret comes out. The front says To and the recipient's name with "Guess who your Secret Santa is?" The back says Your Secret Santa is and the giver's name, with a short message such as "Merry Christmas!" Fold the card on the dotted line with the printed side out, and the answer sits on the back until someone turns it over.

There are two ways to use them. The giver tucks the card into the gift, so the person opening it finds out who chose it. Or everyone gives their card to the organizer, who hands them out at the end, and each person guesses before turning theirs over. A name on its own line prints a reveal card with a blank line on the back, for the giver to sign.

If you drew names with the Secret Santa generator, you don't need to type anything: each person's private reveal page has a Print a gift tag or reveal card section with their match and their own name already filled in. The organizer page doesn't show who has whom unless the organizer switches on teacher mode, so each giver makes their own Secret Santa cards on their own phone or computer, and the draw stays secret.

Drew names from a hat instead? Each giver can type their name -> the name they drew here on their own device. Or print gift tags for the whole group, which never say who a gift is from.

• Print at actual size. In the print dialog choose 100% or Actual size rather than Fit to page, so the cards come out at the sizes in the table above.
• Pick the paper that's in your printer. US Letter is the standard size in the US and Canada, A4 in most other countries, and the tool starts with the one that matches your browser's language settings. Printing an A4 file on Letter paper, or the other way round, makes the printer shrink or crop the page, and the cards stop matching the sizes above.
• Thicker paper looks better. Plain printer paper works, but cardstock makes tags that survive a pile of presents. Check your printer's manual for the heaviest paper it takes.
• Save ink. The Ink saver design prints black outlines only, which also suits colored paper.
• Cut on the dashed lines. Dotted lines on reveal cards are for folding, not cutting.

Yes. Gift tags and reveal cards are free to make, download and print, with no account, no email address and no watermark.

Yes. Choose A4 under Paper before you download or print. The layout changes to fit A4, with 8 tags per sheet, so you don't need to scale anything.

No. Tags print the recipient's name and "From: Your Secret Santa". You can change that line, or clear it to leave a blank line to sign.

Cut along the dashed outline, then fold on the dotted line in the middle with the printed side out. The front shows who it's for, and the giver's name is on the back.

Yes. Leave the names box empty to print a sheet of blank tags or reveal cards to fill in by hand. If you type fewer names than a sheet holds, the spare spots print blank too.

No. The cards are made in your browser, and the names you type aren't sent to us or saved.
