How it works
Start a group
Give it a name, and add a date and a budget if you like. It takes a minute.
Share one link
Drop it in the group chat. Everyone joins with an Apple or Google sign-in and gets a wishlist of their own.
Draw names
When everyone is in, the organizer draws names with one tap. Nobody draws themselves, and nobody sees who drew them.
Give something they want
You see one name and that person's wishlist. Pick a gift from it and book it, so nobody buys it twice.
A name, and what they actually want
A name on a slip of paper tells you who. It doesn't tell you what, so you guess, and someone goes home with another candle.
Here everyone makes a short wishlist when they join, with gifts from any store. Once names are drawn you open the list of the person you got and choose from what they picked, within your group's budget if you set one. You see one name. Nobody else sees it, the organizer included.
Questions, answered
How are names drawn?
At random, when the organizer taps Draw names. Everyone gives to one person and gets from one person, and nobody draws themselves. You need at least three people, and once names are drawn the group is closed to new members.
Can the organizer see who drew who?
No. The organizer sees who has joined and who has a wishlist ready, the same as everyone else. Each person sees only the name they drew.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. Starting a group, joining, drawing names and making your wishlist are all free.
Does everyone need an account?
To join a group, yes: a quick sign-in with Apple or Google, so the draw knows who is who. Anyone can open a wishlist without an account, and booking a gift asks for a Google or Apple sign-in.
Drawing names another way? Send everyone the free Secret Santa questionnaire: it prints, and there's a shorter version for coworkers. Swapping gifts with stealing instead? Here are the white elephant rules, with a printable sheet and a number drawer.
