โœฆ

No signup, ever

The organiser needs no account and neither does anyone else. Links are unguessable and work on any phone.

โ‡„

Rules that work

Couples, housemates, "drew her last year". Hollyhush proves the draw is possible, or tells you exactly which rule is in the way.

โ™ก

Wishlists & anonymous Q&A

Ask your person "Dark or milk chocolate?" without giving yourself away, and see what they actually want.

โ—”

Organiser can't peek

The organiser sees who opened their link, never who drew whom, unless they choose to. Links lock to the first device that opens them.

White elephant night

Turn order, steal limits and a live game screen for the TV that tracks every steal. Print the rules card for the table.

Deletes itself

Everything is removed 60 days after the exchange date. Delete it sooner in one tap. No tracking cookies.

Pick a look for your draw

Three seasonal themes. Everyone sees your pick on their private page.

Hosting a white elephant?

Draw turn order, set the steal limit and run the game from your phone while the TV shows whose turn it is. Every steal is tracked, undo included.

Questions, answered

Do I need an account or an email address?

No. The organiser creates the draw, and each person gets a private link to send on WhatsApp, iMessage, SMS or any group chat. Nobody signs up and Hollyhush never asks for an email.

Can the organiser see who drew whom?

Not unless they choose to. By default the organiser can see who has opened their link but not who anyone drew, so the organiser can be in the draw like everyone else. If you tick "I'm also organising, show me everything" you can see the full list.

How do couples and "can't draw" rules work?

Add any pair who should not draw each other, one way or both ways. Hollyhush checks the draw is solvable and tells you clearly if the rules make it impossible. It can also avoid last year's pairings if you paste last year's organiser link.

What happens to our data?

Only the names you type, wishlists and anonymous questions are stored. The draw deletes itself 60 days after your exchange date, and the organiser can delete it earlier with one tap.

Is it free?

Yes, for up to 50 people. Hollyhush earns a small commission if you buy a gift through the optional gift-idea links, at no cost to you.
