Gift giving year round for the family
We use this app every Christmas. It’s easy to invite people to the gift exchanges of which you can have multiple. List can stay updated year round for birthdays too. You can also create restrictions for family members so couples dont pick eachother for the exchange. It’s great if you have any kind of exchange.
Fun app but…
I love Elfster. It is a fun way to organize a Secret Santa and it is way easier to indirectly communicate to your secret Santa about what you want. However, every week I get signed out of Elfster, and it is very annoying to go log myself in again to check for gifts my Secret Santa may want. Please fix this issue.
So fun!!
A great way to plan a Secret Santa at work or with friends!! Love adding to my wish list!
Great for Secret Santa Group
I’ve been using this app for 5 years now with my family!! It’s great for secret Santa and you can see exactly what the other person wants!! No disappointment or confusion
Best app ever !
I recently started using Elfster for gift exchanges, and I have to say, it’s been a game-changer! The app is incredibly easy to use, with a clean and intuitive interface. Setting up gift exchanges for holidays and special occasions is a breeze, and I love how it allows you to set up wish lists, ensuring that everyone gets something they'll actually enjoy. The Secret Santa feature is especially fun, and I appreciate how the app handles the drawing process automatically. It also offers great privacy settings, so you can keep your gift exchanges secure. Overall, Elfster has made gift-giving more organized and stress-free. Highly recommend!
Hard to change email address for anybody on list
Cannot change email address without deleting friend not good
The saviour is born
Forget Jesus, this app is your real saviour this Christmas. Redemption from last minute panic shopping. Forgiveness for the sin of forgetting that thing that your loved ones asked for off-handedly last month when you weren’t really paying attention.
It’s good but not great
Every time I open the app again it makes me re-do my username and password
10/10
Love this app!! Easy to navigate and will definitely continue this on as a new Christmas tradition with the family! Second year in a row using Elfster! 🥰♥️
