Elfster: The Secret Santa App

I love the look and ease of use with the new update. I use Elfster with family and friends for Christmas (love the gift exchange feature) and birthdays for my kids. It’s such a great way to inform those who ask what my kids want/need. After using this app for 6+ years now the only feature I wish it had was knowing who marked purchased which items. So often my kids open all their gifts without me present (because I’m busy hosting and such) and it would be nice to be able to refer back to the list

I am really awful about knowing what I want until I see it so this is a super convenient way for me to add what I like in one spot for friends and family to see.

I’ve hosted a few spooky baskets or Christmas baskets for the past 3 years and this app has been amazing! Easy to use, does all the work to create the secret buddy! Highly recommend for any party or spooky baskets!

Amazing for Xmas lists

Every year my (very large) family uses this app to select our secret Santas. I appreciate that you can set restrictions to people within the group so they can’t draw certain people. I think if I were to change anything, I would ask for an option to import wishlists from other sites like Amazon, Etsy, etc.
