A Secret Santa is a small logistics problem that one person always ends up carrying. This is that person's plan: draw the names, agree the number, chase the stragglers, and have somewhere the rules are written down so the same three questions are not asked eleven times.
Free on any plan. You will see this list again in the app, and nothing is created until you press install.
Names drawn early, a budget agreed, and one place the rules live.
Budget before names, so nobody has to object afterwards.
Mostly answering the same three questions.
A number agreed after the names are drawn always suits whoever suggested it. Ask first, and pitch it at the least comfortable person in the group.\n\nMost of the organising is answering the same three questions repeatedly. Writing the rules down once removes nearly all of it.
Three things, sized to survive February, with the routines that carry them.
Thirty-one days, the social situations planned for, and a note on what actually changed.
What actually happened, what you learned, and three things for next year.
Uniform, kit and the routine, sorted in the fortnight before rather than the night before.
It takes one press. Everything it creates is tagged, so if it turns out not to suit you, it is easy to find and remove together.
