by Lolly Page

In Handy Tips, we find ways to improve your life and make it easier and explain why these tips work. Today, we will tell you about a handy website that will help you automate the process of choosing gifts for the Secret Santa game.

The Secret Santa game is extremely simple: you write down each other’s names (whether it is a large group of friends, relatives, or colleagues) on a piece of paper and then draw names to randomly assign a Secret Santa to each player. Today we will tell you about a simple tool that can automate this process – a gift roulette.

Elfster.com, one of the most popular online services for secret Santas, is also convenient because it allows each of the participants to create a wishlist and thereby save their Secret Santa from unnecessary headaches caused by thinking of what to buy. The site also has a mobile app available both on Google Play and AppStore, although they still lack the online version’s functionality. Now it's even easier to give gifts!
