A digital hat for gift exchanges

Draw names. Keep the surprise.

Cheerful Giver pairs everyone up fairly and gives each person a private link to unwrap who they drew. Secret Santa with the cousins, the office party, book club, a birthday swap: any gift exchange works, and nobody taking part needs an account.

How it works

  1. Add people

    Type in names. Emails are optional, so kids and anyone without one can join in too.

  2. Draw names

    Keep partners or roommates apart, then draw. Everyone gets someone, and nobody gets themselves.

  3. Notify

    Email each person their private link, or share it yourself by text or QR code. They unwrap who they drew, no sign-up needed.

Made for the fun part

No accounts to join in

Everyone taking part just opens their private link. No sign-up, no password, no app to download.

Secrets stay secret

Pairings stay sealed until each person unwraps theirs. You can peek if you need to.

Any occasion

Holidays, birthdays, office parties, or just because. Set a date and a spending limit and you're ready.

Nothing to sell you

No store in the middle and no affiliate shopping overhead. Cheerful Giver facilitates the draw, then encourages pure human communication.
