How the site works

Somebody in every family, office and friend group gets volunteered to organize the exchange. That person needs four things, usually on the same evening: a fair way to draw names, a way to find out what people actually want, a way to run the game without an argument about the rules, and something for the room to do after the gifts. PartyGameKit is those four things, free, with the guides that explain each one.

The draw is private. Each person gets a link that shows only their own match, and nobody, the organizer included, can see the whole list. Anyone added without an email address gets a link from the organizer and enters an email when they open it, so a lost phone does not mean a lost draw. The questionnaire feeds the gift ideas: what someone says they would love but never buy for themselves becomes a search you can open straight away.

The site is free and earns a commission when someone buys through an Amazon link on a gift-idea page. That is disclosed at the bottom of every page it applies to, and it does not change what we recommend or what you pay.

PartyGameKit is free to use. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases made through links on this site; that commission does not change the price you pay.
