How to do a color theme Secret Santa

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): In a color theme Secret Santa, each giver gets a color, such as red, green or gold, and buys gifts that match it, often three to five small items within the budget. Draw names with the generator above and write the theme and budget in the event name or budget field, for example "Color theme, $25". Then assign colors in the group chat, either by letting people pick or by drawing colors in a separate round.
