Pricing

Running a draw

Text sent to each participant	£0.15 each
Each "scrooge" rule (couples, households, forced/forbidden pairs, fresh pairings)	£0.50 each
Reveal the full mapping (one-time, per draw)	£2.00
Reminder text to everyone in a sent draw	£0.15 each
Writing your own custom message instead of a free template	£0.50 one-off

Messages over 160 characters send as multiple SMS segments, each billed at the same per-text rate - a live counter on the draw form shows you exactly how many.

Messages from Santa

Send a one-off custom text "from Santa" to anyone in one of your draws - great for a note to the kids.

£0.50 per message

Message templates

Choose from a free pool of ready-made templates (classic, friendly, formal, playful, and more) - or write your own for a small one-off fee. Every template supports {to}, {event_date}, {budget} and wishlist-link placeholders.

Every participant also gets a free, no-signup wishlist link - so whoever draws their name can see what they'd actually like, straight from the same text.

Reusable groups

Save your group once and start next year's draw from it with one click. Add the "fresh pairings" rule and nobody will repeat last year's match.

Example: family Christmas

10 people living in 5 households, with a household rule for each one - so nobody draws someone they live with, and two households can't just swap between themselves either (if Ann and Bob live together and Carol and Dan live together, Ann getting Carol and Bob getting Dan is out):

10 × £0.15 + 5 × £0.50 = £4.00 total, less than the cost of one stamp per person.

Example: office of 20

20 colleagues, no rules needed, plus revealing the mapping afterwards to sort out a mix-up:

20 × £0.15 + £2.00 = £5.00 total - about the price of a single coffee.
