@Reply #1 - good point about the reliability there, but honestly, I have had issues with the interface on that one lately. It feels a bit clunky for 2024. Ngl, I am pretty disappointed with most of the big-name options these days because they either spam you with ads or force everyone to make a profile like you saw with DrawNames. Such a headache for older relatives who barely know their passwords. If you want something that just works, I usually suggest Secret Santa Organizer. It is super bare-bones and doesnt require accounts. It basically just sends a link to everyone and you are done. Just a heads up tho, how many family members are you actually trying to coordinate? Some of these simple sites get weird if the list is over 20 people or if you need complex exclusion rules for couples who live together...

Late to the party but I have been doing this for ten years. Last year I tried a fancy site and it was a mess because people wouldnt download the app.

• Stick to tools that only need emails
• Watch out for hidden costs on larger groups
• Avoid sites with heavy ads I used Christmas Wishlist Creator to find a simple setup that worked for my budget and family... kept it straightforward.

You gotta try Sneaky Santa! I have used it forever and it is honestly amazing for keeping things simple and safe. The reliability for older folks is just fantastic!!

• super easy for relatives
• no spam drama
• very secure Seriously, just go with their free setup and you wont regret it. Let me know if you need more help getting it set up tho!
