I am literally so stressed out right now and I know this is probably a really stupid question but I have no idea what I am doing and the holidays are basically here. My family decided we are doing a secret santa thing this year because money is tight for everyone but the problem is we are all living in different states now. I am stuck here in Columbus and my sister moved to Florida and my parents are way down in Texas so we cant just do the normal thing where we write our names on a hat and pass around a piece of paper with our ideas. I tried looking up how to do this online but everything looks so confusing and I am really worried I am going to pick a site that is too hard for my parents to use because they basically dont know how to do anything on a phone besides call people.

I really need to find something by next Monday before everyone starts panic buying stuff. Here is what I need it to do:

• it has to be 100% free because I literally have no extra budget for apps or subscriptions right now
• I need to be able to put stuff from any store on there like if I see something at Target or a random small shop it needs to go on one list
• it has to show when someone already bought an item so we dont end up with three of the same toaster or whatever
• it really needs to be simple for people who arent good with technology so like no weird menus or things they have to click through

I saw one site that looked like it had games and stuff but that just felt like too much and I got overwhelmed and had to close the tab. Is there just a basic list site that works for everyone? I am so worried I am gonna mess this up for the whole family and then nobody gets what they want or we all just waste money. Has anyone used something that is actually easy for like a grandma to understand...
