How it works
Type the names
Add everyone, keep couples apart, and set a budget and a date if you like. It takes a minute.
Share one link
Drop it in the group chat. Everyone picks their name and can make a wishlist of their own.
See who you got
Each person picks their own name and sees who they drew, with the budget and the date. Nobody draws themselves.
Give something they want
Open your 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 can make a short wishlist when they pick their name, with gifts from any store. Once names are drawn you open the wishlist of the person you got and choose from what they picked, within your group's budget if you set one. No page lists who gives to whom, not even the organizer's, though the group link opens any name.
Questions and answers
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. If someone joins or drops out later, the organizer signs in to add or remove them, and only the matches that change are redrawn.
Can the organizer see who drew who?
No. The organizer's page shows who has joined, never who gives to whom, so the organizer can take part too. The group link does open any name, so ask everyone to pick only their own.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. Drawing names, sharing the link and making a wishlist are all free.
Does everyone need an account?
No. Nobody needs an account to draw names or see their match. Making a wishlist or booking a gift asks for a quick sign-in.
