Frequently asked questions
Can the organizer see who got whom?
Not unless they open other people's links. The result is encoded inside each link, so just send them without opening.
Do we need to sign up or share emails?
No. It works with links you share by WhatsApp, text or any messaging app.
What are exclusions?
Pairs of people who shouldn't get each other, like a couple who already exchange gifts. Write one per line: “Ana - Luis”.
What if someone loses their link?
The organizer can copy it again from the list as long as the page stays open. Otherwise, run a new draw and resend all links.
What's a good budget?
Common limits are $20, $25 or $50. Agree on it beforehand so nobody feels awkward.
