Claim Before You Buy

Important: Before buying a gift, claim it first! This tells others it's taken and prevents awkward duplicate gifts. Sign up free to claim items – the wishlist owner won't see who claimed what.

  • Free account to claim (keeps it secret)
  • Direct links to purchase items
Gift Exchanges

Add Participants

Add everyone who's joining the gift exchange. Just enter their name and email address. They'll receive an email when the draw happens.

  • Add by name and email
  • Participants don't need an account
  • Add as many people as you need
3

Run the Draw

When everyone's added, click "Run Draw" to randomly match gift givers to receivers. Our smart algorithm ensures fair matching.

  • Random, fair matching
  • Everyone gets exactly one person
  • Can redraw if needed
4

Everyone Gets Notified

Each participant receives an email telling them who they're buying a gift for. If that person has a wishlist on Wishlee, they can view it directly!

  • Automatic email notifications
  • Link to their wishlist (if they have one)
  • Assignments stay secret
