A fair draw for your gift exchange that even the organizer can’t peek at.
Try it with an example family · edit the names, link partners, then deal. Nothing here is saved.
Partners never draw each other:
Nobody has to remember who can’t get whom. Every draw follows them.
Partners never draw each other.
Name your partner once and they confirm it.
Nobody gets last year’s match.

Even the organizer can’t peek.

Groups change, and that’s fine.
Invite the kids straight into this year’s exchange.
Everything below is an example, written the way it looks inside Hat Trick.
