Ho ho ho! Secret Santa solution attached :)

Iterative macro to select one pairing each iteration, and then remove that Secret Santa & recipient from the iterative input for the next round.

Merry Christmas!

Here's my solution along with one I made for my family exchange. The criteria for the family exchange is not to pick yourself, your spouse, and that it's a single loop (e.g. given people A, B, C, D, and E, you couldn't have the following assignments: 1) A has B has C has A and 2) D has E and E has D). I might update it so you also don't have the same person as you did the prior year.
