About Draw Me Like One of Your Elves

Draw Me Like One of Your Elves is a simple tool for organising gift exchanges. Create a group, add everyone who’s taking part, run the draw, and we’ll tell each person—in private—who they’re giving a gift to. Participants can add wishlists so their giver has ideas for what to buy. You can also set exclusions so that no one is paired with someone they shouldn’t give to—for example, partners or housemates. Draws can be scheduled to run automatically at a chosen date and time.

Simple for everyone

No complicated spreadsheets or drawn-from-a-hat chaos. Add names, run the draw, and everyone gets a clear result.

Secret until it’s time

The draw is random and fair. Each person finds out only who they’re giving to—no one else’s assignment is revealed.

Built for gift exchanges

Whether it’s Christmas, Secret Santa, or a workplace swap, we handle the pairing so you can focus on the fun.
