Oh my goodness

Oh my word. You have to use this app. It hands down the best and easiest thing. Even the oldies will be able to work it out. Thanks to the creators.

Something isn’t right

We have been using this app for a few years and this year something has gone very wrong with the latest updates. Sent a note to them but hope it gets fixed cause we loved it all this time.

Bug

I love this app but there is an issue with it when send it to people they can’t like see the photos they had to click on it to like actually see what’s on the list and like the photos never load when I’m on it anymore

Great for secret Santa

We used this last year and it was so fun. It allows you to truly stay secret. It allows our family to play from anywhere in the country!

Makes events easier

As someone that likes to put a spin on gift exchanges with my friends this is an excellent opportunity to do it a little differently!

FAQ

What does the drawnames app do?

The drawnames app simplifies the process of organizing gift exchanges, such as Secret Santa, for any occasion. It allows you to create groups, set exclusions between participants, manage personal wish lists, and generate name draws. The app also provides gift inspiration and suggestions to help users find the perfect present.

How do I set up a gift exchange?

Setting up a gift exchange is easy. You create a group, set a budget and gift exchange date, and add participants. You can then set exclusions to prevent unwanted pairings. Finally, you draw names, and participants can create their wish lists and choose gifts for others in the group.

Is there a cost to use the app?

The app is free to download and use, with no account required to start organizing. While the core functionality is free, there may be in-app purchases available for additional features or services, though the description does not specify these.

Can people who don't have the app join my gift exchange?

Yes, the app is cross-device compatible and allows you to invite people to join your Secret Santa through various messaging apps, text, or email. Participants can join and participate even if they prefer not to download the app, using a web browser on their mobile phone, tablet, or computer.

What occasions is this app suitable for?

This app is flexible for any occasion. While it's perfect for Christmas, it's also great for organizing gift exchanges and creating wish lists for Hanukkah, Diwali, Kwanzaa, Eid, birthdays, baby showers, Valentine's Day, or any other celebration where gift-giving is involved.
