Common questions
- Do I need to sign up or give an email?
- No. You only type the names. Each person gets their own link, and that’s all it takes.
- Can the organizer see who everyone is buying for?
- No. The draw happens on the server, and the organizer’s panel only shows who has opened their slip. To find out who you’re buying for, you open yours like everyone else.
- Can I keep couples from drawing each other?
- Yes. Before drawing, open “Some people shouldn’t draw each other” and pick the pairs. If those rules make the draw impossible, we’ll tell you.
- What if someone loses their link?
- The organizer can go back to the panel and send it again. That’s why it’s worth saving the panel link once the draw is done.
- How long are the names kept?
- The draw deletes itself 60 days after the exchange date.
