I offered to take over organising my family secret santa this year because my brother in law who usually does it almost had a breakdown last year trying to wrangle the old people who completely forgot who they were buying for.
If you're organising one; this is an excellent site to do it: Secret Santa Bash
You can select whether direct loops are possible (two people buying for each other) and also add custom rules like X must/can't buy for Y. It's free and easy. You can monitor who has viewed the party and if they haven't after a few days give them a call and get them to check their spam folder. My gmail address didn't filter it out but my microsoft one put it in the junk folder.
Oh and there is wish list function so you can give your secret santa a hint on what to get you!
This is an excellent site. Assuming they don't keep all those email addresses and spam sell them to spammers or something. ๐
