Gift exchange
A gift exchange that keeps its own secret.
Start one, share a six character code, and let the app do the drawing. Each person sees exactly one name: the person they are buying for.
What you will see
You are buying for
Marguerite
Loose leaf tea. Squared paper notebooks. Nothing scented, please.

Six characters. Everyone joins with it and leaves a wishlist.

Draw the names
One name each. Nobody draws themselves and nobody sees another pairing.

Your exchanges belong to your account rather than to this browser, so any device you sign in on shows the same names, the same wishlists and the same assignment.
Signed in
Your exchanges
Exchanges stay on this page after the draw, so you can open your assignment again whenever you need it, and nothing on this page ever shows a pairing that is not yours.
Start an exchange
You join it as its first member, so you get an assignment like everybody else.
Creating an exchange tells nobody. The code you get next is the only way into it, so an exchange stays as private as you keep the code.
Join an exchange
Whoever started it can send you the six character code.
Joining adds your name to the roster and nothing else. Whoever draws you sees your wishlist as it is at the moment they look, which is why editing it later still counts.

Invitation code

Anyone with this code can join until the names are drawn.
Everyone in it
0 in the exchange
Everybody who joined, under the name they picked for this group. It is the same list for everyone.
Your wishlist
Whoever draws you sees this, and sees it as it is now, so you can keep editing it.
Every part of this page is read back from the server rather than kept in this tab, so the exchange looks the same on your phone as it does here, and a reload after the draw never loses your assignment.
