Two ways to give
Draw names, or share a wishlist
Every event works one of two ways. You choose when you create it.
Name draw
Secret Santa, office swaps, holiday exchanges
- Everyone buys for exactly one person, so nobody has to buy for the whole group.
- The draw is random and secret. You only ever see your own match.
- Set a budget so gifts feel fair.
Wishlist
Birthdays, weddings, baby showers, housewarmings
- The guest of honor lists what they'd love, with links and prices.
- Guests claim a gift so nobody doubles up.
- The recipient never sees who claimed what.
How it works
Three steps, then you're done
The organizer does a minute of setup. Everyone else just clicks a link.
- 1
Create your event
Pick the occasion, set a budget and a date. It takes about a minute.
- 2
Invite your people
Send invites by email or share a link. Guests join with their email address, no password to remember.
- 3
Draw names and shop
Run the draw in one tap. Everyone privately sees who they're buying for, plus that person's wishlist.
Why mellowish
The awkward parts, handled
No spreadsheets, no group-chat chaos, no accidentally buying the same scarf.
A fair, secret draw
Names are drawn at random and nobody gets themselves. Each person sees only their own match.
Couples skip each other
Group people into households so partners never draw each other, or add your own exclusions.
Wishlists with claiming
Add gift ideas with links and prices. Guests claim an item so nobody buys the same thing twice.
Surprises stay surprises
You never see who claimed what on your own wishlist, so the gift is still a surprise.
Messages, even anonymous ones
Post updates to the group, or quietly ask your match about sizes without giving yourself away.
Nothing to install
Works in any browser on phones, tablets and computers. Just open the link.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Is it really free?
Yes. Name draws, wishlists, invites and messages are free for events with up to 25 people. Premium adds unlimited participants and a gift tracker.
Do my guests need to sign up?
They just enter their email and tap the sign-in link we send them, or continue with Google. There's no password and nothing to download.
Who can see who drew whom?
Only you can see your own match. Even the organizer doesn't get a list of everyone's pairings.
What's the difference between a name draw and a wishlist?
A name draw (Secret Santa) gives everyone one person to buy for. A wishlist event is for one person or couple, like a birthday or wedding: guests pick gifts from their list instead of drawing names.
Can couples or families avoid drawing each other?
Yes. Put them in the same household and the draw will keep them apart. You can also add one-off exclusions between any two people.
Someone joined late. Do we have to start over?
No. The organizer can invite them and re-run the draw. Everyone sees their new match right away.
Make a wish, keep it mellow.
Your next gift exchange can be set up before your coffee gets cold.
