How to set it up
- Draw names firstThis doesn't draw names. Do that however your group likes, then use this for when the gifts come in.

- Say wherePut where to drop gifts off, and the spending limit, in the description.
- 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.
