No more bad Secret Santa pairings! With the Secret Santa Maker app you are able to take out some of the bad randomness of picking names out of a hat while keeping the process secret so everybody is surprised!

First, you can select your filters that you want to use. You can choose whether or not a participant can get themselves, their significant others, or their significant others choices significant other (trust me, it stinks).

Second, enter in each of the participants and mark any of their significant others. These can be husbands, wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, or really anybody that you wouldnt want that person to be paired with!

After all of the participants have been entered, hit generate! Just like that the app will determine the best picking order so all of the filters are met. It will also let you know if it was unable to determine a proper pairing.

Finally, just pass the device around and have people tap on their names to get who they are paired with. Once they have seen and tapped the back button, that entry is gone so no one gets to cheat!

The Secret Santa Maker has the following features:
- Unlimited number of participants
- Selection of filters
- Able to specify significant others
- Self destructing results so no one can cheat the app

I hope you enjoy this version, please let me know if there are any features you would like added in future versions!
