Why users love drawnames
I enjoyed using your service - it made Secret Santa so easy, without spoiling the surprise for anyone! Thanks to you and your team for the brilliant work. Happy holidays!

Honestly, this service is amazing. Draw Names makes my life so much easier. I can focus on the party itself rather than chasing down Secret Santa’s and providing gift ideas. The Wish Lists, anonymous questions and reminder emails are helpful without being overbearing. Keep up the great work!

My only suggestion would be to not change anything to the way it is, it was very easy to use, instructions were very straightforward, it's a great stress relieved as it is all done for you, and it is all done in a way that it really add suspense to it. Thank you very much for this useful tool!

FAQ: Creating a wish list
How do I add my own text or links to external e-commerce sites to my wish list?You can add your own text and links by clicking on the blue pen icon at the bottom of your wish list. Then you can add your own gift wishes by typing text or pasting a link. You can also add a photo to make your wish clearer.
Can the creator of the wish list see when a gift has been crossed off?
When you click on 'I'm giving this as a gift', all participants will see the gift has been purchased, except for the creator of the wish list. This is to keep it a surprise! Please note: if the list is linked to multiple celebrations, the crossed-off gift will appear as purchased in all linked celebrations.
How do I respond to an anonymous question?
You can’t respond with text to an anonymous question. You can respond indirectly by editing your wish list, for example by adding gifts or text using the pen icon.
How do I create a wish list for a child?
You can add children's wish lists to an existing group. You do this by clicking on 'Add children's wish list' under the heading 'Children's wish lists' on the group page.
