How to set it up

  1. Draw names firstThis doesn't draw names. Do that however your group likes, then use this for when the gifts come in.
  2. Set the daysIt starts with five days from tomorrow, four people each. Change the first day, how many, and how many people a day.
  3. Say wherePut where to drop gifts off, and the spending limit, in the description.
  4. Check who's leftYour private link shows who's picked a day. Anyone missing hasn't arranged their drop-off.

What helps

  • Put the spending limit in the description, so everyone's gift is in the same range.
  • Ask people to label gifts with the recipient's name, not their own.
  • “One sign-up each” is on, so everyone picks one day.
  • Turn on “Hide other people's names” if knowing who dropped off when would spoil the surprise.

Something to send with the link

Copy it into a text, an email or the group chat, change what you like, and paste your link at the end.

Questions people ask

Does it draw names for Secret Santa?
No. It organizes when gifts are dropped off. Draw names however your group usually does, then share this link.
Can I hide who's dropped off when?
Yes. Turn on “Hide other people's names”, and people see only how many places are left each day.
What if someone can't make any day?
They can say so in their note when they sign up, and you can arrange another way. Notes are only shown to you.
