GoWish launches new Secret Santa Feature ahead of the Holiday Season
21.10.2026 16:10:58 CEST | Ønskeskyen Danmark | Press release
With more than 10 million registered users in the US, GoWish is adding a little extra holiday magic to the app with a new Secret Santa feature, making it easier to organize gift exchanges while keeping the excitement of the surprise.

The holiday season is just around the corner, and with it comes one of the most popular gift-giving traditions: Secret Santa. This year, GoWish is making it easier for friends, families and colleagues to bring the tradition to life with a new Secret Santa feature directly in the app.
The launch comes as GoWish has surpassed 10 million registered users in the United States, marking a major milestone for the Danish-founded wishlist platform. With millions of Americans already using GoWish to discover, save and share their wishes, the new feature adds another way for users to connect through gift-giving during the holiday season.
"Secret Santa is one of those holiday traditions that brings people together, and we wanted to make it even easier for our users to enjoy. With more than 10 million registered users in the US, we're excited to introduce a new way for people to connect, share wishes and celebrate the joy of giving," says Casper Ravn-Sørensen, CGO and co-founder of GoWish.
Making Secret Santa easier
With the new Secret Santa feature, GoWish users can create their own gift exchange or join one with an invitation link. Participants are then matched for the exchange, and each person can browse their assigned recipient's wishlist for gift inspiration. This means less time spent guessing what to buy and more time enjoying the tradition. And while the identity of your Secret Santa remains a mystery, wishlists can help make sure the gift is something the recipient actually wishes for.
The feature builds on GoWish's existing wishlist experience, where users can save and share the products they wish for. By bringing Secret Santa and wishlists together, GoWish aims to take some of the guesswork out of gift-giving while keeping the fun of the surprise.
The new Secret Santa feature is now available to GoWish users across the United States, Canada, Australia and The United Kingdom just in time for the upcoming holiday season.
